Happy Earth Day, everyone! Wendel Wordsworth here.
Are you part of the Green Generation? I’ve been a member since the day I was born. You guessed it, because I’m a green worm!
Oh, but I’m part of the Green Generation in other ways, too. I conserve energy and recycle. Plant trees and pick up litter. I bet you do whatever you can to keep our beautiful world healthy, too.
And how fun to have a special day set aside to remind us of all we can do to “green up” America. Every little thing makes a BIG difference.
The website EarthDay.net has a lot of “green” tips for students like you and me. Here are just a few things we can all do at school:
Flip the Switch!
• Make signs or stickers as reminders to turn off lights in classrooms or other spaces when they are not in use.
• Request that energy saving light bulbs be used.
The Hot & Cold of It!
• Ask that room doors be closed to trap heat during winter months.
• Report windows that leak air.
Monitor Monitors!
• Check that computers are turned off at the end of each day.
• When not in use, set computers to “sleep mode.”
Recycle!
• Start a school recycling program.
• Conserve paper by using both sides.
Won’t you write in and tell us what special things you did on Earth Day? Do you have a “green” idea not mentioned here? Let us know!
It’s really not hard being “green!”

What a great blog! It's so important to conserve and protect our environment! I'm know that I'm known as the 'Recycle Queen'. Another great idea to help the environment that I do is to use recyclable batteries. I've had my current set of rechargeable batteries for at least a year and a half, and they're still going strong!!

Thanks for stopping by my blog! I like your tips on being green.
Thanks, Melissa. Enjoyed your blog, too and will check it again. Glad I found you on Twitter!

I turn green when I ride the roller coaster at Great America.
Seriously, though, we recycle more than we throw away.

Good for you, Norm! (the recycling...not the turning green part)
Thanks for stopping by.
