I'm Johnny Earthworm, and I've made it to the big time! Do you want to know how? By finding the answer to this question: What do soil, food, and people have in common? Answer: They all need to be healthy, because Healthy Soil = Healthy Food = Healthy People™! Pretty simple, wouldn't you say? So, I created an exhibit to share my findings and I took the show on the road. Big success! My Exhibit demonstrates how to take care of your health and the health of the world around you. Best of all, it's fun! Johnny's Travels Click on any of the cities below to read about the great places I've visitied.

Florence Rodale created the Exhibit and Kidsregen.org to help children, parents and teachers understand the importance of improving and maintaining healthy soil, producing healthy food, and nurturing healthy bodies. This 1,500 square ft. exhibit comprises interactive workshops, hands-on scientific demonstrations, quizzes, artifacts, models, photographs, videos, and computer simulations.

The Exhibit seeks to do three things:

1. Empower children with the knowledge to make informed choices about their lifestyles.
2. Help children form a respect for their health and the health of others.
3. Develop in children a higher regard for nature and the future of the environment.

In conjunction with the Exhibit, the "10 Steps to a Healthier You and A Healthier Planet" program encourages children to take positive action. The steps reinforce the lessons learned by exploring the exhibit and help to inspire children to look around their homes, communities, and schools to see what they can do to improve human and environmental health.
