Hanging Out Green

From Bags to Riches

by MVB
MVBMy mom and sister make rugs from plastic bags. They've been featured in the local newspaper and the article went national! I believe that small things like this can make a big difference in our community. Check it out: http://www.philly.com/philly/home/20080704_Get_hooked_on_plastic-bag_rugs.html
 

Reuse "trash"

by Savanna
SavannaDo you need a new purse to match your outfit for the party next week? Go to the store, buy some gum, and make a purse from the wrappers! You could even make a wallet to match! Need more color? try using Starburst wrappers or anything else that you would normally throw away. It's a lot of fun and a great way to reuse "trash"!!!
 

Being Green IS Fun!!

by Allie D.
Allie D.The next time you and your friends decide to hang out together, don't drive to the Mall! How about trying something new, like riding your bikes to the local park. Even just being outside and playing or talking with your friends is relaxing! If you just HAVE to go to the Mall, then have everyone go in the same car to reduce your carbon footprint! See? Having fun and being green is a no-brainer!!! :D
