Make a Difference for Our Planet!
Water is good for you. But how you drink it can make a difference to the planet.
Making plastic water bottles and transporting them to stores uses a lot of fossil fuels and pollutes the environment. Reducing your use of plastic water bottles is an easy way to make the earth a cleaner place for generations to come. Instead of buying water in a plastic bottle, use a refillable water bottle and fill it with tap water.
Recycle! Plastic water bottles can take hundreds of years to disintegrate. They pollute rivers, lakes and oceans. They fill up landfills.
Plastic Bottle Facts • Making bottles to meet America’s demand for bottled water uses more than 17 million barrels of oil annually, enough to fuel 1.3 million cars for a year. And that’s not even including the oil used for transportation.
Instead of throwing a plastic water bottle into the trash, recycle! Plastic water bottles are turned into carpeting and even fleece clothing. Recycling one plastic bottle can save enough energy to power a 60-watt light bulb for six hours!
Let’s Talk!
Talk to your parents about ways everyone in your family can help the environment by reducing waste and saving energy. There are a few great ideas below. See if you can work together to come up with at least 10 more.
• The energy we waste using bottled water would be enough to power 190,000 homes. • Last year, the average American used 167 disposable water bottles, but only recycled 38.
Oil and Water Imagine a water bottle filled a quarter of the way up with oil. That’s about how much crude oil was needed to produce the bottle.
There are a lot of things kids can do to take care of our planet every day. Here are some great ideas:
Turn Off Lights
Take charge of making sure the lights are switched off in your house when you leave a room. This saves energy and money. And it’s as easy as flipping a switch. To advertise, please call & Oceana’s Herald-Journal Ludington Daily News
Plant Something Plant a tree, a bush or a vine. Lima beans are easy to grow and you can plant them in a small container. When the beans are ripe, you can share them with your family.

Play Outside
When you play outside you aren’t using electronics. You get some good excercise and have fun. Save energy and play in the fresh air outdoors!
Use Less Water
When brushing your teeth, turn off the tap water. This can save up to 8 gallons of water per day per person. Some showers use up to five gallons of water per minute. Shorter showers can save a LOT of water. © Vicki Whiting April 2016
SPOTLIGHT
4
One way we generate carbon dioxide (CO2) is by burning fossil fuels (gas and oil) to power cars, planes and trains. Each person participates in activities that produce CO2. These activities are called a person’s carbon footprint. The average American generates 20 tons of CO2 every year–about the same amount as produced by three new cars!
If every American family replaced just one incandescent light bulb with an energy-saving compact fluorescent bulb, CO2 emissions would drop by more than 90 billion pounds a year—the same as taking 7.5 million cars off the road.
Whenever possible, walk or ride your bike to get places. If walking isn’t possible—carpool! Carpooling two days a week can reduce your annual CO2 emissions by as much as 1,590 pounds.
It’s easy to remember to turn off big things, like lights or TVs, but don’t forget about the small stuff … like VCRs, DVD players, computer speakers, and printers. If they’re on, they’re using energy, even if you aren’t using them. Every hour of electricity used in your home generates about 2.3 pounds of CO2.
Reducing waste in landfills reduces emissions of CO2 and methane (another heat-trapping gas). Recycling also uses less energy than manufacturing new materials.

Growing tobacco and making cigarettes causes the destruction of millions of trees each year. Use the code to find out more!
Many young people who start using drugs, start with tobacco. Sometime kids don’t really get how badly tobacco can hurt their bodies. But they can see how badly it hurts the environment. So remember that tobacco is bad for kids and for the planet!
A machine that makes cigarettes uses miles of paper per hour to roll and package cigarettes. On average, it takes tree to make cigarettes. The average smoker will “smoke” tree in weeks.
Each year, millions of cigarette butts end up being washed down storm drains and into streams, rivers, lakes and the ocean. Seabirds, fish and other animals mistake them for food. Their bodies have no way to digest cigarette butts and they can die.
Farmers burn forests to plant tobacco because tobacco cannot be grown in the same soil year after year, so when fields are moved to fresh ground, more trees are felled.
It takes about 25 years for one cigarette butt to decompose or turn back into dirt. For 25 years it is like a poison for an unsuspecting animal to eat.
Tobacco must be dried, or “cured” in hot air before it can be made into cigarettes. In poor countries, the fuel used for curing is usually wood. Every acre of tobacco may need another acre of trees to be cut down and burned for curing. In the rain forest, about used for tobacco.

The water drops fall from the sky as rain. The rain goes into the ground and into the sea. Then, some of the water from the rain evaporates back to the sky and makes clouds again.

Mary Arlene Appelhof 1936 – 2005
In the 1970s, Mary Appelhof built a container for worms to eat her garbage. It worked so well, she wrote a book called “Worms Eat My Garbage” and started Flowerfield Enterprises, Inc. a company that sells composting bins, worms and other products for people interested in organic gardening. Visit Mary’s site: WormWoman.com
Vermicomposting, or composting with worms, creates rich soil that helps gardens grow. And it gives humans a clean, odor-free, environmental way to get rid of garbage. The worms get a good meal and contribute their poop, or castings, to the production of good soil that grows better flowers and vegetables.
Garbage is for worms! You might think it is gross, but certain kinds of worms think garbage is yummy. Instead of tossing leftover salad, melon peels and apple cores into the trash or disposal, build a worm bin and start raising worms to eat your garbage.
Red worms like organic garbage. This means things that mostly come from plants. Cross out the things in the worm bin that the worms won’t eat.

GEOGRAPHY
Tierra del Fuego is a group of islands at the southernmost tip of South America. “Tierra del Fuego” means “land of fire” in Spanish. It got its name from Ferdinand Magellan who, when sailing past the islands in the year 1520, spotted a number of fires burning along the coastline.
Fifty years ago the Argentinean government brought in this animal to raise on commercial fur farms. When the project failed, the animals were released into the wild. What animal was it? Beavers! They have since chewed their way through the island’s forests, felling the trees they need for food and building dams that flood acres of forest and farmland, killing trees and crops.
These fires were probably made by the first people to live there: the Ona, Alakaluf and Yahgan (commonly called Yámana).
The Yámani Indians lived on the coasts of Tierra del Fuego and nearby islands. They ate mollusks, mussels, crabs and fish. Entire families traveled together in canoes made of bark. The man of the family watched for the prey with harpoon in hand. The mother rowed while the children kept a fire burning in the canoe on a base of soil and stones. Each family lived in a hut made of branches built around a depression dug into the ground.
In Tierra del Fuego, beavers have no predators and an abundance of food. Use the code to discover about how many beavers live in Tierra del Fuego today.
The Yámani Indians wore no clothes except for robes made of seal or otter skin. They kept their bodies covered with the blubber of seals. Some say their diet, which was heavy with the fat of seals, helped them to bear the cold. The islands of Tierra del Fuego are owned by two countries. Circle every other letter to find out the names of these countries. (We did the first letter for you.)
