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?

Stoogles’ Birthstone
Wow! What an awesome birthday party! All my friends were there and as always the Googles put on a massive spread. Googles’ parties are THE BEST! I got so many great presents for my birthday – I sure am one lucky guy! But this birthday was extra special because this was the year that I got my birthstone pendant. A birthstone pendant is a very precious rite of passage to Googles. When you receive your birthstone pendant it means that you have reached the age where you can appreciate the true value of being a Googles (of course I have always known how awesome it is to be a Googles!) And the best part of all is that MY birthstone is the coolest – the Diamond! (Sorry – I’m sure all of your birthstones are totally awesome too, but hello? It’s a DIAMOND!!) At my party, we all had some cake and I opened my presents, and then my mom and dad called me up to the front. Everyone got really quiet then because the Birthstone Pendant Ceremony is a really solemn thing. My mom and dad said that just like a diamond is precious and rare, I am a … Read more
Stoogles Birthday
It’s Salley. Stoogles party is going really well and everyone is having so much fun, but there is something that’s kind of bothering me. There is a TON of food here. Googles really do know how to throw a party. The problem is that they have plastic plates, cups and cutlery. Do you have any idea how bad all that stuff is for the environment? It practically never decomposes. If they HAD to go with disposable plates and stuff (which I really wish they didn’t) couldn’t they have chosen biodegradable ones that would break down eventually? And straws! We don’t need straws! Not only that, but there are so many of us all dancing around and eating and drinking that this stuff is getting knocked all over the ground and danced on and crushed. Everywhere I look around this party it seems like there’s litter! And there is way too much food here for all of us too! So I asked Stoogles what was going to happen to all of the leftover food and he was like “Oh, that? I guess we’ll just chuck it.” Chuck it? What a waste! And they have these colored lights up everywhere even though … Read more

Stoogles’ Birthday: Coming Up Fast
Hi! It’s Salley. Wow. Is Stoogles ever excited about his birthday, or what? Googles love parties – that’s for sure! Everybody has been talking about the party and shopping for gifts for him. I know Cowabelle and Roberta were thinking of going in together to get him a new skateboard and they were going to custom paint it. Polly said she saw a cool shirt in the Big City and she was going to see if they have something similar in the KinzStyle Outlet. Alex wants to get him a science book and Sparky said he hasn’t decided yet because there is just too much to choose from in his Uncle Arte’s Curio Shop. He better hurry up! I think that Stoogles is going to love all of those gifts, but I’m having a really hard time deciding what I want to get for him. He is my best friend after all. The thing is I really want to be environmentally responsible this year. I want to get Stoogles an environmentally friendly gift. I was thinking that I could plant a tree for him in the Caring Valley, but I kind of want to give him something he could have … Read more
Roberta’s Observations
Dear Diary, Things have been a bit weird around here lately. Why? It’s my parents. I don’t know what’s going on with them, but they seem to be so preoccupied lately. For example, I was supposed to bring some KinzCash to school for pizza day. Normally my mom puts the KinzCash in my backpack, but it wasn’t there! When I got home and asked her about it, she said I was old enough to take responsibility for my own pizza! Yesterday, I wanted to go for a bike ride with my dad, but he said he and my mom had to do some talking, and that they were going for a walk. When I asked if I could join them, they said no! Can you believe it? They’ve never been like this before. One other strange thing: I made carrot muffins today (my specialty) and when I offered one to my mom, she said, “Ugh, no thanks.” How rude, right? Why would she think my carrot muffins are gross all of a sudden? Have I done something wrong? Roberta
