Green Tip 4 from Salley: Things to do Every Day!
Hi Everyone! It’s Salley here with a few quick green tips that you can do every single day – and help make the world a better place. Turn out the light when you leave the room. Turn off the water when you brush your teeth. Don’t litter. Reduce, reuse, recycle as much as you can. Bring your lunch in a reusable container. Encourage your friends to be green! Use both sides of a piece of paper. Don’t throw out recyclables. Start a compost pile. Walk or ride your bike instead of taking the car. What other great green tips do you have, friends?

Roberta Rabbit: Going Green
Roberta Rabbit here with another successful ‘Kinz meeting. Today we told Salley how much work we had done to help her with her Earth Day plans. She was SO happy, I thought she was going to cry! I guess she’s been pretty stressed out lately. We managed to get one hundred volunteers to help with the Kinzville cleanup. We also managed to get tons of donations from businesses (Arte and Debbie Dragon were especially generous), and Chef Gazpacho and Chef Sophia even volunteered to make goodies for the clean up crew to enjoy after the job is done! Salley thanked us and said that next time, she’d definitely want our help with her plans. We reminded her that even though you CAN do stuff by yourself, sometimes it’s easier (and more fun) with friends! Earth Day is going to be AWESOME!
Green Tip 3 from Salley: Recycling
Hey Everyone! It’s Salley again with another green tip. Today I want to talk to you about recycling. If you’ve already done your part to reduce (use less), reuse (use something more than once), the next best thing to do is recycle it. That means the item will get made into something else. If you have a recycling program in your town, you probably put all of your recyclables out by the curb and they get picked up and taken to a recycling plant. There, the can be remade into different things. Glass can be recycled an infinite number of times! The important thing to know is what can and cannot be recycled. Each town has different rules, but generally you can recycle cardboard and glass (and usually plastic drinking bottles). Find out your local rules and make sure to recycle as much as you can!
Salley: Starting to Panic
Oh no! It’s Salley. I am really stressing about this Earth Day Clean Up I have planned. I don’t think it’s going to be nearly as successful as I thought. I really wanted to ask all the businesses for donations of garbage bags and work gloves, but I barely had time to go around to half the businesses in town! And I wanted to gather up a lot more volunteers, but I ran out of time so I only managed to visit a couple of neighborhoods to ask for help. I am going to have to make do with just a few volunteers. Right about now I kind of wish I could be as carefree as the rest of my friends. Today I seemed to see all of them at one point just hanging out around town. Stoogles and Sparky clearly have plenty of free time because I saw both of them going into the Tournament Arena and then the Arcade right afterward. Must be nice! Cowabelle and Roberta were just chatting with people on the corner. They were showing them some piece of paper or something. Who knows what that’s all about? And then Molly and Polly prance out … Read more
Green Tip 2 from Salley: Reusing
Hey Everyone, It’s me – Salley. Today I want to talk to you about reusing. Reusing is another thing we can do to help out the environment. When you reuse something, you use it again. For instance, I noticed that Stoogles always brought his sandwich in a plastic bag. I asked him why he didn’t just invest in a sandwich container that he could use over and over again. He said that was a great idea! Now, he reuses it each day at lunch. When school started in September, I still had my binders from last year. They were looking pretty rough, though. Instead of buying new ones, I decided to recover my old ones with fabric and decorate them with fabric pens – and they’re gorgeous! Instead of buying new, I just reused what I had. Do you have any good examples of reusing, friends?
Salley’s Feeling Overwhelmed
Oh wow. It’s Roberta. Remember back at Christmas when I decided to make all my presents and it got to be a little overwhelming? Well, I stopped by to see Salley today and boy, did I ever recognize that crazed look in her eye! I know she thinks that because she has been president of school council she can handle all this responsibility, but she has just taken on way too much. She wouldn’t let us help her organize her clean up event and now she has got a million things to do and Earth Day is just around the corner! She has been going around the town telling everyone about the event and taking down names of volunteers, she had to meet with the Earth Day committee to coordinate their events, she wants to give an expensive reward to every single volunteer and she has been trying to hit every business in town to ask for donations. Oh, Salley, Salley, Salley. I wish she would just realize that getting some of us to take some of the duties off of her shoulders doesn’t make her efforts any less valid. I’d better talk to the rest of the ‘Kinz, don’t … Read more

Green Tip 1 from Salley: Reducing
Taking care of the environment is SO important. One of the easiest things to do is to reduce the amount you waste. For instance, carry your lunch to school in reusable plastic containers. You’ll instantly reduce the amount of stuff you throw out each day! What other reducing tips do you have, friends?
