Happy Earth Day!

April 22, 2008


Happy Earth Day, everybody! Today’s the day to celebrate Mother Earth so I hope you all take a little time today to show your mama some love! I’m sure you know the score when it comes to “going green”, but I’m just going to give you a run down of a few of the things I do to help out the environment. Have a look to see if it gives you any ideas ( or if you can think of other stuff I should do)!


  • I always recycle all of my glass, paper, cans, plastics, and cardboard.

  • I keep a reusable water bottle in my backpack so I don’t need to buy plastic bottles when I’m out.

  • I put stuff in my backpack or another reusable bag when I buy it instead of getting a plastic bag from the store.

  • I compost fruit and vegetable scraps (ok, my mom does – but I put the scraps in a bin for her to compost later).

  • I pretty much walk or skateboard everywhere. I’m not old enough to drive, but I think I still get points for this one because I hardly ever ask my parents to drive me places.

  • We only use energy smart light bulbs in my house. I guess that’s another thing my mom does… but I’m going to take credit for it!

  • That’s all I can think of. How do you do your part to help the planet? Make sure to comment me back to tell me all of your ideas! I’m going to finish off this post with a ton of Kidzworld articles that will get you informed about the environment. Check ‘em out!


    Peace out,

    Simon

    I am really active in my school. I try to have little raffles, and competions to make recycling fun. we have a big may fest, where we ride roller coasters so we really encouraged people to recycle
