Cub Reporter: Earth Day!

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

Beautiful FlowerFor Earth Day, my class is planting five fruit trees at our school! Everyone is pitching in and they’re not afraid to get their hands dirty! Last year, the trees they planted were either run over by lawn mowers or eaten by forest creatures. We’re also working on a school garden. We have two gardens, one is the Primes Garden, and one is the Junior Garden. The Junior Garden is a wreck so for community service, we are all planting flowers, trimming bushes, pulling weeds, and throwing out rocks! Go Earth Day!!!

3 r'sEarth Day is a special day for our Earth!! Earth Day was born on April 22, 1970, in San Francisco, California. Earth Day is celebrated worldwide.  On Earth Day, we remember to appreciate nature and learn ways to protect our environment.
Here are a few tips:

  1. Water- Do not allow the water to run while brushing your teeth
  2. Air- Ask your family to walk or ride bikes to get to local shops.
  3. Recycle- Every day, place your paper, plastics, and aluminum in recycling bins.
  4. Energy- Unplug electronics when you are not using and use energy efficient light bulbs.
  5. Reuse- Upcycle, take something that is disposable and transform it into something of greater use and value.

If you have any cool tips, send them in to tide@xeko.com, we will share with everyone at Xeko!
