CSU preschool gets Worms!

Clean Air was at CSU preschool this week setting up a worm bin. The kids all became members of the Clean Air Kids Moose Club and will now be able to feed their food waste to the worms! Oooh, how fun it was to feel the worms & feed them cranberries & apple pieces!

Cassandra Barnes Its Back to school time! Any ideas on how kids can be Green at school?

What can you do with empty baby food jars? What can you do with empty yogurt containers? (besides throw them out, of course!)...

    you can make telephones with them, all you need is sting and sharp object to poke hole in the ends of the contaners.
    
    You can also make catipillers with them. Kids love to paint and make things there own. Let your kid paint them or add sticke...r and then sting them all together, tie off both ends... and you end up with a very cute critter! See More

    : Share what eco-friendly, fun, outdoor, volunteer, or sustainable activity you are doing today. Post a picture if you want to!

Clean Air Kids will be at the Sustainable Living Fair in September...hope you can come!

Ideas for a 'Staycation': Instead of using up gas driving or flying, why not vacation at home instead? Camp in your own backyard, discover where you live as if you were on vacation there & you will see it all in a new way. Do you have ideas for your staycation?
