THE 2025 GREEN EARTH BOOK AWARD SUBMISSION PERIOD IS OPEN


It's that time of year! From October 15 to December 15, submissions are being accepted for the 2025 Green Earth Book Award. The Nature Generation is accepting nominations in six categories: Children's Fiction and Non-Fiction, Young Adult Fiction and Non-Fiction, and Picture Book - Intermediate and Primary. We are looking for the best in environmental literature for children and young adults. We seek books that encourage young people to be stewards of their environment; books that value diversity, equity, and inclusion in their characters, subject matter, and topics; and books that inspire children to grow a deeper appreciation, respect, and responsibility for the environment.


NatGen will award a winner in each of the six categories and recognize many others as honor books and recommended reading. Winners receive a cash prize are expected to visit schools in their community to read the winning books and engage with NatGen to promote their books throughout the year. All winners, honor books, and recommended reading titles will be announced on Earth Day, April 22, 2025., and winners will be officially awarded at our virtual award ceremony in October 2025.

Did you know?

The world has over 3.04 trillion trees in the world. However, 27,000 of them are cut down daily to make toilet paper. This translates to about 9.8 million trees annually.

Rainforests are being cut down at a rate of 100 acres per minute. If this trend continues, the world’s rainforests will be gone by 2100.

Interesting facts about the environment show that a single cow can release between 200 and 400 pounds of methane gas through burps and farts each year. These levels are 20 times more powerful than carbon dioxide gas.
