The Moisen World Gazette Celebrates Earth Day

Happy Earth Day one and all! It is that time of year again, the time when you should start being kinder to our Earth and making habits to protect our planet! The spring is one of the best times to do this because the spring is about rebirth. Everything is green again and everything is happy!
Some things you can do to help our Earth include-

• Using reusable water bottles.
• Walk or bike instead of driving.
• Try to limit water use, take shorter showers and don't keep the faucet on while you brush your teeth.
• Use both sides of the paper.
• Buy recycled paper.
• Write on the back of notices etc.
• Eat left-overs instead of throwing them away.
• Turn off your car while parked. (No Idling)
• Turn off electronics when you are not using them.
• Save cardboard for projects.
• Change to the swirly lightbulbs.
• Plant a tree or a flower.

Remember- Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

"How dear the woods are! You beautiful trees! I love everyone of you as a friend!" -L.M. Montgomery Anne of Avonlea

"Go out, to the fields, enjoy nature and sunshine, go out and try to recapture happiness in yourself and in God. Think of all of the beauty that is still left in and around you and be happy!"
- Anne Frank

Contests

1. Now, some nice people [actually just one, thank you Alyssa] gave me new ways to save the earth. Here they are:

- Use energy saving lightbulbs (those spiral ones).
- Use reusable grocery bags.
- If you have to use plastic grocery bags, keep them so they can be reused for something else.
- Carpool
- Use a lunchbox instead of a paper bag.
- Don't Litter
- Pick Up Litter
You can still send in ideas for that contest!

2. Send in beautiful pictures of nature! I will put them in the following MWG’s starting June 1st.

3. The first person send me the correct awnsers to these three questions about birds will get a fablous prize!

1. How fast can ostriches fly?


2. True or False: The hummingbird can fly backwards.



3. Are birds warm-blooded or cold-blooded?


Fun-Fact: Most flying birds feathers weigh more than their bodies.



You know the contest I had a few issues ago about the Isabel stanza’s? Here is one.

Isabel once met a tiny old rat,
Isabel didn't think much about that.
The rat's teeth were sharp although it was small,
Then quickly the rat grew 40 times as tall.
Isabel, the rat asked, do you know what you'll get?
Just one more short minute of your life I bet.
Isabel, Isabel didn't worry,
Isabel didn't scream or scurry.
She swiftly jumped up as high as a cat,
Then Isabel, Isabel squished the old rat.
