Nicole calls for green education

Socialite Nicole Richie has of late shown keen interest in various green campaigns and has recently come forward to urge schools to include lessons on environmental issues in their curriculum.

She says, "Being in a school with the environment of education, it really doesn’t make sense to educate children on math, science, history and not educate them on nutrition and taking care of our planet. It seems that it is our responsibility to make sure that happens. Anyone that is going to eat organic is going to feel different. We only eat organic. We don’t really have plastic in our house, we mostly use glass bottles. People can even help by turning off their lights when they leave the house. It’s just so easy for everyone, if they helped just a little bit, if everyone helped a little bit, it would make such a huge, huge difference."
