TOLEDO -- It's students teaching students about the environment in this week's Green Report.

There's one special after school program where students trade their books for lab coats and try to make a difference in the quality of life.  More specifically...the air we breathe.

With this program, some Lucas County students become mentors for their younger peers.  Here, they're working with the "Kids Unlimited" group at Englewood Peace Academy in the Old West End.  Meanwhile, Dana Corporation, BP and Sylvania Schools help make all this a reality. 

Most in the group admit there's a lot that needs to be done to improve our world, both in the classroom and everywhere else. 

Mark your calendars, students.  There's a big energy fair coming up April 19th from 11 - 3pm at the University of Toledo Engineering Campus - Nichstke Hall Entrance.
