What IS Eath Day? Earth Day is the day we celebrate by cleaning up and respecting the Earth. Way back in the 1900's America was a disgusting land of trash. People littered. People polluted. People killed many plants and animals. Then Senitor Nelson saw that it was just too much! He quickly organized the first Earth Day. But after a while people went back to their old ways. Astronauts saw that if Earth was polluted too badly, there would be no other place to go. Dennis Hayes, a young college student, and the United Nations made Earth Day a National holiday! Every human makes about 2 kilograms of trash each YEAR! Maybe even more! We need to stop the flow. Recycle or use both sides of a piece of paper. Cars produce enormous amounts of dangerous gases. Try riding your bike, or walking places. Find people to help clean your community. People cut down a lot of trees. Try buying lots of rainforest products. Buying nuts and other foods from the rainforest will make clerks and woodcutters know that we like them and they will save some of the trees. Make sure (get it?) your Earth Day's a happy and CLEAN one!

Earth Day is a day that you learn about the environment. The person who thought of Earth Day is Senator Nelson. We've done some things to harm the environment. Our landfills are leaking deadly chemicals that can get into our drinking water. When we burn coal it lets off gases that get in to the air. A way we make a really big impact is by cutting down whole forests of trees. A way we can help the environment is by recycleing paper. The second way is to try to turn of electronics so we won't have to burn fuels. This is important because if the Earth is destroyed, we won`t have anywhere to go. A thing you can do is to ask congressmen to pass laws to stop polluting.

Earth Day is a way to help nature. People are polluting too much. In St. Pete, all of the garbage leads to a giant insinerator and the insinerator releases harmful gases. Harmful chemicals and acid seep through the ground and to the rock below. We can do things to help such as recycle, reuse and other things to help the enviorment. I think it is very important to conserve the world around us and not let it fall to our devastation.

Tennis is the only sport I play so I have plenty of time to play it. I play tennis 6 times a week. I have been on this schedule for six years. I play at the Vinoy Tennis club. The clinics are 2 hours long, and the lessons are an hour or an hour and a half. I appreciate my sport and hope to be a professional some day.

One thing I like to collect is money. I have about 50 coins from around the world. 2/3 of the coins my grandma gave me. I'm trying to set a record. When my dad was a kid he collected nickels on his birthday. If I see any Canadan coins in our penny jar, I'll ask my dad to see if I could keep it. But if it is something like a silver dollar I will say I'll pay 2 dollars. The second thing I like to collect are bounce balls. I have a bunch. I have some the size of your fist. I have some the size of your finger nail. Some bounce high and some bounce low. When I had a garage sale I gave some away for free. These are the things I like to collect.

Random acts of kindness are acts of kindness that you do randomly, such as walking up to your mom and asking if you can help her with the dishes. You have NO CLUE why you asked, but you feel overjoyed doing it. Or maybe you have a family member you haven't seen in a long time and you want to go to their house just to say hi! I have a goal. That goal is to make three random acts of kindness in five days. Maybe even more RAKS. Here are some of my ideas: 1. To help my brother on the computer. 2. To get my boss (mom) some flowers. 3. To give Dad a hug!


This is gonna be EASY!

RAK are nice things to do to someone. I am planning to make a goal to take care of the dog, do my chores, and make my bed. I am also planning to do some things at school involving RAK. It is fun to see how people react when you do somthing nice to them. I think being kind to one another is very important.

Random acts of kindness are being nice tos omeone without a purpose. This week I will have a goal to do 3 random acts. I will list them below.
1. I will ask to help around the house. I will do the laundry and the dishes.
2. I will donate $5.00 to our Darfur website.
3. I will write letters to men and women serving overseas. I will also send an email and maybe call Sgt. Fensome who just got home.
These are the things I will do to be helpful.
