The Five Amigos send out a challenge to all of our friends.... Earth Day is getting closer, a bit more than 2 months away... And maybe less depending on when you are reading this! It is April 22nd.. If you did not know..
Our school, Talent Elementary became an official Green School on Earth Day in our first book. We would like to get as many of you to help us start a list of Green Schools across the United States. What we would like to hear from you is something special about your school's Green program. For instance, East Elementary in Tillamook, Oregon, has a wonderful greenhouse. They grow many plants for gardens and have a great plant sale in the late spring. This helps local people have some sustainable organic gardens. Plus their school is made aware of the idea of having their own gardens. The money they make goes back to helping their school stay Green, buy seeds, and whatever they may need for their Greenhouse.
So... would you please send us any names before Earth Day, so we can post them and celebrate them... Also we would like to know any schools that are working on becoming Green.
Our Big Challenge is for any of you to make the change over to using reusable bags for your shopping. Get your parents, family, to purchase or make these bags. And big thing is to remember to take them and use them! Maybe you could be the one in your family to remember to put them in your vehicle and be the reminder to use them? Please send us your name and how you are doing on this challenge! You can tell us how you got your family to use this idea and how it is working out for you and your family! We will publish a list along with your stories on our Blog. Pictures of you would be wonderful too!
Good Luck.... The Five Amigos....
PS.. We love to get any email from you, so do write us some letters... You can write any of us individually and we will answer you! Allison, Tyler, Chello, Tally and Chello

What an admirable thing to do- teaching children about our environment and how to help save it is one of the most important jobs we as parents can do for the future. Bagnesia (a person's forgetfulness to grab their reusable bags) affects so many people that are trying to do the right thing by using reusable bags. That's why Bagnesia, LLC has come up with a solution. Their reminder kit means never forgetting your reusable bags again! www.bagnesia.com As an owner of bagnesia, I would like to start finding out more about "green" schools and offeringan incentive program toparticipating schools. Maybe this is something we could work on together!
