Increasing energy efficiency was ranked as a top resolution for Americans in 2010 - and apparently it's never too early to adopt the resolve to go green. As education reform sweeps the nation, one school system in Michigan is adopting an energy efficiency program to promote eco-friendly behaviors in elementary school children.

According to the Bay City Times, the Michigan Department of Education and the National Energy Foundation are teaming up to teach young children about energy conservation. Through "Think! Energy," students will learn the benefits of everything from using energy-saving light bulbs to recycling.

The program will provide each student with a kit that includes two CFL bulbs, a shower timer, a high efficiency showerhead, faucet aerator and eco-friendly night lights. The initiative aims to reach 13,000 elementary school students this year.

The Michigan Program is not the only education initiative targeting kids to adopt energy-conscious behaviors. The e3 Smart program, founded by the Ohio Energy Project and American Electric Power, will sponsor energy-efficiency learning programs nationwide.

Students of all e3-certified teachers will receive kits that include energy-saving light bulbs, foam weather strips, and more. The e3 Smart program has already successfully launched at select schools in New Jersey and seeks to inform school kids across the country.
