Taking Care of Our Environment

Did you know that we get about 700 paper bags from one tree?  Or that each person in the United States uses about 10 pounds of paper every week?  Do you know where paper comes from or do you know the story of paper? 

The children at Joy Kids Learning Center will be able to answer all of these questions by the end of August.  They will start a composting pile, create a "pulp puppet" out of paper, and make a dirt cake by the end of next week.  We are not just learning about the "world around us" but also how to take care of the "world around us". 

It is very exciting to watch these children get excited about taking care of our environment and helping create a cleaner and brighter tomorrow.  We would like to hear how you are helping create a cleaner and brighter tomorrow.
