DON'T JUST BE "GREEN" - BE EARTH FRIENDLY!
That means doing good things for the planet, the environment, plants, animals, and people, too!
My grandma and I sit at her computer for about a half an hour every day. She is teaching me to search for information related to my product, Kool BagsTM, and the reasons people should be using them. We have discovered lots of really interesting websites and blogs. Sometimes I enter my comments on them. It's lots of fun because lots of people have e-mailed me back so I am meeting lots of new, interesting people who are interested in my business and supporting me as a Youth Entrepreneur.
I am going to start putting up some of the websites that I think people will be the most interested in. My grandma lets me try to do most of it, and she explains lots of stuff to me, like how when people start using reusable shopping bags, they still have a big problem. What do they do with all of those stored plastic bags they have stuffed in a huge ball in a drawer or closet somewhere?
We found a really exciting website with some really practical and fun solutions for all those plastic bags. You have to check out! I can hardly wait to try some of their ideas, like making a shopping bag (for non-perishable stuff, of course) out of all those plastic bags. Isn't that a neat idea?!
Learn and Share Information about Recycling and Crafting
The following website is SUPER educational. It also has lots of really interesting stories like about another 12 year old girl, like me, and how she is helping her local animal shelter. Anyone who wants to be "Green" in a practical, everyday way, and who wants well documented information in an entertaining form, will appreciate the way it's presented. VERY professional. I really liked the story about Mimi Ausland from Bend, Oregon because I love animals, too and want to be a vet assistant someday. You will like getting to know Dan Estabrook and his colleagues and what they know!

Oh, my gosh! I just saw the cutest video about an 84 year old lady who
is making these incredible purses and shopping bags and place mats and
stuff OUT OF USED PLASTIC BAGS! Click on the Happy World to watch the
video. You're going to love it!
JUNK!
Click here to view a one minute ABC News video about two environmental scientists who constructed a raft from junk and travel around the ocean to increase public awareness about plastic bottles and other junk that is a glut on our landfills and an environmental hazard due to the pollution in manufacturing it. These guys are REALLY serious!
