Thanks Mimi! Great job getting the kiddos (and their classmates) involved in Earth Day! I agree it is very important to recycle and reuse whatever we can, and conserve those resources. We have been getting out and walking more too, it is a lot of fun and I hope it will save a bit in the gas tank too Happy Earth Day to you all!

Thanks Nana! I hope that you had a wonderful Earth Day too! Thade had fun telling everyone “Happy Earth Day” too. We got out and planted a few new plants on Earth Day, and then we took a walk in the evening and enjoyed the nice weather. I’m hoping to get a few more “Green” tasks accomplished around the house.

I gave my kids’ teacher some Earth Day workbooks that I ordered from the state agriculture dept., and I got enough for both 5th grade classes. Tonight we’re going to an Earth Day family festival and we’re walking to conserve gas.The kids and I have a nice vegetable garden planted, we recycle, reuse, and remake whatever we can. I try to only buy items in packaging that can be recycled or reused somehow. I agree with you, I don’t throw out glass, I can always find a use for it!
Happy Earth Day! I have a printable Earth Day coloring and workbook on my site that you could print out for Mr. Thade. Oh, and enter my giveaway, too. Enjoy the earth, it’s all we have!

Happy Earth Day, Nicole!
I am so proud of you. You are already leaving a very dainty footprint on the Earth. Every little thing you do does make a difference in the Big Picture. Thank you for caring and taking the extra steps to make it a better place for future generations. I hope to do something special today to commemorate Earth Day 2008. At work I went around to everyone in the office and offered them a choice of green tea or green tea with lemon and ginseng while I wished them a “Happy Earth Day”. I just wanted everyone to be aware of the environment today and every day. No one even knew that it was Earth Day or what it was about. We can make a difference. Stay creative and use your resources wisely. You are definately teaching the boys valuable lessons for their future and the future of the Earth. Thank you, Nicole Love, Mom

Hi Nicole……LOVE the eco-nico nickname! Too Cute! We are huge recyclers here in the NW. I examine everything before I throw it in the trash can to see if it can be recycled. We are so lucky that our garbage haulers also take away our recycling too. We have a big 60 gallon can that is just for recycling. We can throw all of our recycling in there except glass….that has to go in the curby. We also have a bottle deposit here in Oregon so all pop/beer cans/glasses can be returned to the store to get that back. We also try to conserve whenever possible….keeping lights off when not in use ect. We did buy some new appliances that are energy savers so I hope we will see that back in our electric/gas/water bills soon. Keep up the great work! Ellie
