Happy Earth Day!

I picked up Recycle This Book to share with my classes. I was drawn to this book because the one hundred authors for each essay on different ideas were authors of many of the books that are checked out from the library. Each writer chose a way that they were attempting to "go green." A variety of green activities were shared, but with one hundred submissions, many of the essays were redundant. Some ideas were general, such as the typical recycling your paper, glass, cans and plastic, but some talked about composting and vermiculture, solar panels, biking and eating less meat. We can unplug our many electrical gadgets when not in use, use cloth napkins and line dry our clothes. Have fun picking out some new ideas and share them with this book blog.
