Tomorrow is our Spring Assembly so we will be on an Assembly schedule. The Assembly should be great fun with our Pie in the Face, Guy Cheers, Tom boys, Color Guard and celebration of our spring sports and activities.

Cars and light trucks emit 20 percent of the nations CO2 pollution. The U.S. transportation sector, as a whole, is responsible for almost 9 percent of the world’s total CO2 emissions…in other words, the U.S. is responsible for more green house gas pollution than South America, Africa, the Middle East, Japan and Asia all put together. Carpooling for longer trips, or riding a bike, skateboard, or walking for shorter trips will drastically cut these emissions down and slow, maybe even stop global climate change. The next time a bunch of your friends want to go to the movies, have the person with the most seats (with seatbelts) in his/her car pick up everyone instead of having a bunch of cars drive there individually. The emissions from the driving of the one car are slight in comparison to all of the cars.

Have you ever thought about how this affects your body? Did you know these things can cause learning disabilities, and diseases like cancer? Be educated about what you’re eating before you put it in your mouth, think about where it came from and what it can do to you. Buying food from local farmers not only helps the economy but the environment too. The food is fresher and there is less pollution and cost from the transportation of produce, grains and meats from other states and countries. Fuel your body with healthy and safe foods. Be an aware consumer.

Has your IPod had a long, fulfilling life and now it has begun the death rattle of a gadget nearing its fateful last walk to the junk drawer? High school students go through A LOT of cell phones. Instead of tossing them in the trash or in a drawer, recycle them. If they are still usable, donate them to a program that gives them to the troops overseas or to some other charity. If they are no longer usable, the plastic and the electronic components can be recycled so that they don’t sit in landfills for hundreds, thousands, even millions of years. You can also get cash for your used cell phones. Go to cellforcash.com or Gazelle.com and you can look up the make and model of your gadget, answer a few questions about its condition to determine how the company can recycle it, ship your stuff to the company for free, and you’ll get a check in the mail. Depending the age of your gadget, you can net anywhere from $5 to $300.

Did you know it takes a Styrofoam cup 50 years to decompose? It takes an aluminum can 200 years to decompose. And it takes a plastic bottle 450 years to decompose. Rather than buying a bunch of disposable water bottles, buy one and fill it from the tap…and don’t try to pull the “Oh, but bottled water is cleaner! It’s purified! It tastes better!” Public water sources and private water lines are treated to remove any impurities, harmful or not. Not only that, but because we live in Colorado, we have some of the best water available. It comes straight from mountain streams to treatment centers, then to us. So go home and invest in a reusable water bottle…and then reuse it!
