Recycle Plastic Bags

What We Did.
Saved plastic shopping bags and put them in the bag recycle bin where we go shopping.

Why.

It's better for the environment than just throwing them away and we get lots of bags each week because we eat lots of food.

Amount of Time.
5 minutes to put the bags in one bag and drop them in the recycling barrel at the store.

Fun Factor.
It's just saving bags, so it's not really fun, but it feels good to be helping the environment.

Kids Doing Good

What can three kids (ages 7,7 and 2) do to make a difference in our world and the lives of others each day?
We're not sure, but we're going to find out as Jarod, Makenna and Alex (with the help of mom) find good deeds to do each day.
Big or small, we'll share our deeds with you and perhaps inspire more kids to do good!
