Hello Readers!

  Earlier this week we read an article about Earth Day.  We learned about a school that works hard to learn about the environment and take care of it.  I’m sure that you do a lot in your lives that you might not realize.  Share what your familiy does at home.  What else do you think that you could do to save resources, reduce waste, and protect the planet?

Here is a short video made by students just like you!  Check it out for some ideas.

Well my family uses energy saving light bulbs. We try to use my dads car that saves gas, and we all compost.

My family uses the curly lightbulbs that save energy and we also recycle. We are going to start composting and we turn off the lights and TV when not needed.

Dear Jema80,
Our family always turns off the lights when were not in the room. We also turn off the T.V. when we leave a room. I think that its extremely important that we all pitch in with helping to saving our planet!

My family uses energy saving lightbulbs we also turn off the tv and the light. We recycle are botles and card bourd.

I think my family should pick up trash that we see on the ground.

My family composts and we recycle. We also turn off the light and television when not needed. My family recently got special recycling so now we can recycle almost anything!

It sounds like all of your families try and conserve energy by turning off lights and unused appliances. That is a great way to save electricity! The Compact Flourescent bulbs can save hundreds of dollars in a house. If you don’t use them, try and convice your familiy – maybe you can get them to give you the money they save! Phia, does your family use the compost you make? ilanimals, don’t forget about Green Up Day in early May if you want to pick up lots of trash. What ideas do you have about how we can save more resources – even if your family does not do it?

My family recycles and we do not pollute. We should take care of this planet because it’s the only one we can live on.

This Saturday is Green Up Day in Vermont! What will you do to help clean up our state? Keep the ideas about HOW we can protect our planet.

I think we should go around everywhere as you possibly can.

   zvarr 04.29.08 @ 12:12 pm

Ok zvarr, I agree, but do you have some spots in mind? How will you motivate your family?

   journey 04.29.08 @ 12:17 pm

First I will do my backyard, then my neighborhood, then where we go sledding! (Once I found a dirty diaper, there!)

   zvarr 04.29.08 @ 12:23 pm

Great plan! Thanks for being so specific. Picking up trash is a dirty job, but as you said, this is our only planet so someone needs to help. I love how much you use this blog!
