Funny!!! My Mom does the same thing with a couple friends…they just get coffee & talk. I have no idea why McD coffee is so good or what the attraction is???? Several years ago I sent a McD gift card on Mother’s Day for her coffee friends…but the local McD did not accept it….which set-off a series of long discussions….over a simple Mother’s Day card. LOL

step 1: The first thing you can do is instead of riding in a plutant car to the parck that is just a block away, why not walk. Walking or biking is one small but helpfull way to help the enviornment. when you ride in a car you are poluting the air with gasses that come out the back end of the car. If you have ever been on the highway and have seen smoke coming out of the back end of a big delivery truck you know what im talking about.

Not riding in a car also helps you, you get more excersise and help the enviornment all at the same time.

step 2: the second thing you can do is turn off the lights when you leave the room. this helps the earth because you are not burning coal or gas. this also helps your parents save money. like we all know your parents pay for the electricity you use and every second you use it your parents are paying money. to cary this a little bit farther you could ask your parents to install go green energy saving solar pannels on your roof.

step 3: you could also recycle pop cans and plastic bottles. this helps the enviornment because for every pop can or bottle you recycle, thats one less thing that goes to the trash dump. this can also help you, do you know how? well, i do, you can save them and take them to a recyling center near to you were they break down the plastic and eluminum cans to make new ones ( they also do this for paper) and they will actualy pay you. this helps you earn alittle money and help the earth at the same time.

the last step: the last step is building a compost pile. every time you eat a bannana or apple instead of throwing it away you can put it in a compost pile. compost piles help the earth and you as all the other things we have talked about also do. you can use compost for your garden to help your plants grow. if you dont have a garden you can bring it to a community garden or give it to a neighbor who has a garden.

We are sending Mom pictures of a new garden the boys created this past weekend at the lake. They broke ground with shovels and rakes. (The soil was pretty soft of the coul till it fairly easy in this manner) We used fallen birch trees to form a border and plan to use a 3″ bed of pine needs for mulch which should give the tomatoes a nice acid boost.
