Some children are very glad school is out and believe it or not others do like school being out for the summer.  Children get bored easy and they can get into trouble if their hands are not kept busy. 

Think of things they can do around the house that is fun.  Children like art and making things.  Instead of throwing away the newspapers help the children make a paper mache of the world,  Sponge Bob or what ever they can come up with.  Take empty pop can and make a wind chime.  You can even find scraps around the house and start making those Christmas ornaments for the Christmas tree early.  They can make items to put on the table at your 4th of July party.  Let the children plant their own garden. Children love to get their hands dirty. 

If you can think of things for children to do that is fun and helps the environment send us a comment and let us and the other readers know.  Have a great, safe and healthy summer.

I was driving to a soccer game last night, just one day after Earth Day and what I saw really upset me.  I saw a big stream of  black smoke coming up the highway towards me. It was a pick-up truck with a huge trail of black smoke streaming out of its tail pipe. This giant bellow of black smoke reminds me of when people used to burn tires.

After this truck drove past me it only took a minute and my airway felt as if it was closing in on me and my chest became tight. As the horrible smell fell on me I began to cough continously. I was so angry after I wanted to call 911 to report this heinous crime but I did not. I just went on to the soccer game and enjoyed it thinking we people need educated on the fact we are hurting the air that we and others breathe.
