For a lot of kids, going back to school means riding the bus. In some neighborhoods, the school bus stops at every single child’s house, where it idles and waits for the child to collect her things, say goodbye to mom, pet the dog, smell some flowers, and skip (at a leisurely pace) over to get on the bus. Not only is the bus idling the entire time, but so is every car behind the bus.
If this happens in your neighborhood, talk to the bus company and to other parents in the neighborhood. Set up a common school bus pick up spot at the end of your street or someone’s driveway. A little conversation can make a big difference.
Finally two of my favorite things together: pizza and being green.
For awhile now I’ve been thinking of making the switch over to reuseable pads myself…but thinking it was going to be annoying and time consuming to create, wash, and keep up with the process. Looking over that website for the Africa project totally allayed all my fears and made it all so EASY that I not only will be switching over myself, but making some to donate to the cause.
I’d been hearing about this project for a while, seeing the commercials, but this really made me stop, read, absorb, and get involved. Thanks Allie! Don’t be surprised if you are connected soon via link to a post about this project in my blog.
Erikka: I have a friend who sews and sells reusable pads. There are a lot of people out there doing this, so I’m sure you’ll be able to find someone who uses quality materials that are eco friendly!
Al: So…are you gonna be the first to try the baking soda/tea tree combination and give us a review? I’m not volunteering yet!
