Earth day is tomorrow! There are sites online filled with Earth Day activities. Many towns around the country are collecting hazardous waste (Greenwood High School in Bowling Green), handing out trees at locations – usually little twigs with roots that can be planted.
– Planting a garden is always a good activity that is rewarding! Kids get to see the results for weeks after and then eat the ‘fruits of their labor’.
For us it’s definitely a day to get away from the computer and go outside and play. By the way: Don’t forget sunblock!
A couple good sites:

I am a SAHM/WAHM of three boys ranging in age from 16 to 32. We are working on saving enough for college at the same time as dealing with school and our older independent kids. I author a few blogs, including http://teched4kids.com. I have in the past taught computer information technology classes for the local university and taught workshops for kid's in technology education besides being the Kentucky State FIRST LEGO League Championship Coordinator from 2005 to 2008. I now work as a computer consultant, run a handmade home business, and am available for workshops. Life here is always an adventure!
