Earth Day - April 22,

The first ‘Earth Day’ was held in 1970.  Prior to April 22, 1970, there was no environmental movement. And many factories pumped toxins into the air, recycling was almost non-existent, and gas guzzling vehicles were the norm. The seeds of the modern movement had been planted, however, with the publishing of Rachel Carson's Silent Spring in 1962. This book raised the public's awareness of pollution and its effect on health.

How can We help and celebrate Earth Day.

·         Things to Do:

·         Recycle—Recycle plastics or work to stop using them altogether. Use reusable bottles, utensils, and bags.

·         Clean up something in your city or neighborhood such as a park, beach, or river.

·         Food—Eat local food, which has a smaller carbon footprint because it has not been shipped across the country. Grow your own food, eat less meat, and begin composting.

·         Conserve water.

·         Save paper—Use online billing, print on two sides of paper, and use cloth towels.

·         Travel—Be more environmentally conscious by walking or riding a bike, carpooling, and using public transportation.

·         Light bulbs—Replace incandescent light bulbs with LED and fluorescent bulbs. Turn off lights when you are not near them. Install solar panels. Turn your thermostat down in the winter and up in the summer.

·         Volunteer with a local environmental group.

BOOK REVIEW

How I Found My Monster Kittens [The New Three Little Kittens] Good read for ages 2-8. By Olexity Starr What a cute, funny story tale with some rhyming connections, its colorful simple yet interesting enough to keep a child listening. The monster kittens are not really monsters looking, but cute - that went outside to play alone without letting the boy in the story know. There is a good lesson to learn not to go out doors or anywhere without informing someone an adult, friend, or neighbor.  A good quick read for younger children.
