Last week, all students at Dubai American Academy celebrated Earth Day in one form or another. Many of the classes made art sculptures from recyclable plastic. Ashlyn's class (along with the other Pre-K classes)
performed a song called We've Got the Whole World in Our Hands (think of the Sunday School song...He's got the whole world in His hands...). Ashlyn's class is dressed in greens/blues/browns (a little break from the school uniform!) and they are seated on the right side of the stage. She is the hippie chick wearing the tie-dyed shirt in the front row just right of center-stage. They enjoyed a "Green" video from Shrek and a third-grade performance of "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle (the 3 Rs)" by Jack Johnson (love this guy!!). All of the first-year and second-year kindergartners were invited to watch, so Kaleigh was able to see the performance! We recycle at home and it's been great to have the girls actually asking questions like "How do they recycle the plastic?" "What do they make from recycled things?"

If you don't recycle now, today is a great time to start. Just start by doing something easy, like recycling your newspapers and magazines. Put those water bottles/soda bottles in a special container and take it to a recycling center on your way to dinner (if you don't have home recycling pick-up)! We no longer use the plastic shopping bags as one way to help the environment. Lisa has several jute shopping bags that she keeps in the back of the car for grocery store trips, mall trips, etc.

I now have 5 bags from Ukrops and one of them is a pink one for the cancer cause. I also keep them in my car. And, "Yes", I also take the Ukrop's bags to Krogers.
