Green Tip 5 from Salley: Saving Energy
Hey all! It’s Salley again, with one more green tip: how to save energy! The easiest way is to turn off the lights (or any electronic devices) when you’re not in a room. Also, turn off the water when you’re brushing your teeth. Another great way to save energy is to take your bike or walk instead of driving. What other energy-saving ideas can you think of, friends?

Alex Makes a Find
Notes from the Science Journal of Alex Tiger After establishing a new search area just outside of Adventure Park it looks like my efforts to discover a new rock MAY have paid off. I don’t want to speak too soon but it would appear that I have discovered a very rare and valuable specimen. I have uncovered a large, shiny mineral of a type that I have never come across before. I took the specimen home – I mean to my lab – and put it under the microscope. Upon studying it closely I can see that its shiny appearance almost resembles that of gold, although it has a slightly different coloration. I have searched through my reference books and so far have been unable to locate a rock that resembles my specimen. And most importantly I have tried to chip into the rock and my failure to do so tells me that this is definitely NOT chocolate. I think I may have a really big discovery on my hands! But I don’t want to get too excited until I’ve shown it to Arte tomorrow. He knows all about rocks and he will be able to verify my find.
Letter from Laurabeard: A Mystery on Board
Dear Nibbles, Life onboard ship is never dull! You will not believe what happened! The cook on the ship can be kind of cranky sometimes. (Dogbeard says it’s because he gets seasick. So why would he take a job on a ship? Weird.) Lately he has been really going nuts because he swears that some of the crew have been sneaking into his galley and stealing food at night. All of the crew denied that they had taken anything and I certainly haven’t been going in there, but the cook didn’t believe us. So I guess last night he decided to set up a trap. He put a pile of flour in front of the door so that when the thief came in and stole some food, they would leave a trail of white footprints leading back to their cabin. It’s actually pretty smart, huh? He didn’t tell anyone he was planning on doing this, and just a minute ago he comes into the kitchen and starts shouting “I knew it! Now I will have them! They will be thrown in irons!” (Um, I happen to know for a fact that the whole ‘being thrown in irons’ thing is SO … Read more

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?
