Tip of the Week

Our tip of the week is:

Suspend or hibernate your computer. Whenever you finish using it (and nobody's using it after you) suspend or shut it down. This will help save a lot of power, and a lot of money! A two-in-one combination. Who doesn't like saving the environment at the same time as saving money? Yup.

Remember, be green, stay green.

Bye!!!!

Weekly Tip: Playing Outside

This week our tip is.....playing outside! We all love computers and watching T.V, but not only is that bad for you its bad for the environment. All of the gadgets that we love mostly involve electricity. Keep in mind that whenever the weathers sunny you could be playing outside and going green. You should try to save the electronics for rainy days. Also try to limit using these gadgets for up to 30 min to an hour at the most. Remember, Be Green, Stay Green
Hey Everyone!

Going Green

Going Green
By Yuki K-B

Everyone is talking about the newest trend- going green. But what does it mean to go green? Does it mean to just recycle? Does it mean to wear green? Being green is much more then that. It's more like a way of life. Even a little thing such as turning off the lights can save our environment. Everything makes a lasting impact, whether it's good or bad. So let's try and control our carbon footprint and make it better.

Everyone can go green. Here are a few things that might SEEM like little changes, but in reality, can make a huge difference.
  • Bring a tote bag instead of using one plastic grocery bag then throwing it away.
  • Use those metal bottles! Every hour, 2.5 million plastic beverage bottles are thrown away.
  • Recycle, recycle, recycle! Recycling helps so much. It will reduce the amount of waste we have by reusing the materials you recycle!

Just with those simple tips, you can change a lot of things. But why go green? It's really easy! And, it helps your community become a better place. For example, the oil spill. You have all probably heard about this recent disaster. Because of the oil leaking into the ocean, all they animals are being covered in gooey, icky, oil. Everyone is trying to save the poor creatures from dying. Here's one thing you can do to help a tiny bit. When you are on the beach, never leave your garbage lying around, throw it away! If, say, a 6-pack Coke plastic rings gets loose into the ocean, a bird might get suffocated when the rings go around its neck. Another example are plastic bags. Sea Turtles love eating jellyfish, and sometimes they mistake a floating plastic bag for one.

Being green is so important; in fact, if we don't be green, our planet will become so polluted that it won't be sustainable for us to live on! That brings us to another tip,- not driving. Whenever you drive to a store, rethink it. Is it close enough so you can bike? Or even closer- in walking distance? Not only do you help the environment, but you also get some exercise. When you go to school, how do you get there? Do you bike, walk, scooter, pogo-stick, drive..? Or do you carpool? If you drive to school because it's too far away to bike, carpool! Hook up with a friend who also drives, so that you use only one car instead of two. If you normally bike to school, and it's raining, carpool! If everyone in the world carpooled, the world would be a much greener place.

So wherever you are, whenever it is, try and add a little green flair into your daily activities. If you followed our tip of the day, and now our tip of the week, tell your friends and family about these ways in which you can become more environment friendly. Follow us on Twitter! Our username is:

Week tip

 Okay, the first tip of the week is...

Don't throw away your old toys away!!! They'll just end up in landfills creating more and more waste on our polluted planet. Instead, have a garage sale! Trade with friends! Sell them at a flea market! Sell them on eBay! Make some money while being green.
