Recycling is Cool! Newspapers are some of the easiest
materials to recycle...one stack of newspapers

a yard high saves one tree from getting chopped down!
You can also use the comics for

wrapping paper!

You can make your own wrapping paper! Use the comics section from the newspaper, use old drawing paper-turn it over and

make new designs, or reuse old gift wrap.

We even like to save ribbons and bows

from presents that we already opened.

The more paper you reuse, the more trees you can save!

Plus, you can make unique gift wrap!

Teach your kids how to ride a bike!

This is a earth friendly habit and creates

healthy beings! Bike reading causes NO

pollution and is SUPER fun!

Are the ants driving you BUGGY?!
Instead of using harsh chemicals or
poisonous traps, first try to find
where they are coming into
your home and block it up.
If this doesn't work (ants are very
tricky), squeeze some lemon juice by
their entrances- they also

don't like cayenne pepper, bone meal
charcoal dust, chalk, and talcum powder...

Got a Baby in the house?

A baby can go through 5,000
diapers before he or she learns
to go in the potty.

If you use the disposable kind, that's
almost a ton more diapers in the
landfill. Plus, many disposable diapers
contain perfumes, dyes, and gels that can 
be absorbed into baby's precious new skin.
Try out cloth or reusable diapers!
Not only are they very cozy for baby, but
they will save you a lot of money!

If you don't like the idea of washing
them, check to see if you have a local
diaper service.

If you really need to use disposable
diapers, check out the new ones that
are made from recycled materials.

You can even put some
in the compost!

SMILE AND LET YOURSELF SHINE!!!
