In Honor of Earth Day
Earth Day is April 22. Looking for some interesting environmental info to share with your student on this occasion? Here are some options:

• Ecological Footprints. See what kind of impact you're each having on the planet by figuring out your ecological footprint at www.earthday.net/footprint/index.html.
  
• Sustainable Suppers. What is this "eating local" thing all about? Check out the great resources at www.sustainabletable.org.
  
• Earth Day Quotes. Find some good ones to share at www. quotegarden.com/ earth-day.html.
  
• The Great Stuff Conundrum. Check out The Story of Stuff at www.storyofstuff. com. It's a 20-minute web video about our production and consumption patterns.

As students are getting ready to consolidate their stuff before moving home, it could be a good reminder of ways to create a more sustainable, environmentally-friendly world.

Happy Earth Day to you!
