Cary’s Corner: Young opinions on going green

Monday, September 15th, 2008

My niece, Cary, has volunteered to provide some of her input on going green in a series of guest posts.  I hope you enjoy her young, refreshing, point of view.

The Introduction

Name:   Cary Blandford

Age:    11

Favorite Webkin:    Mannee (a manatee)

What I think I might want to be when I grow up:    Something involving animals.

How I found out about Live Green Cincinnati:   Aunt Brianne

Do you know green?

What are you learning about the environment, and from who?    I am learning to recycle and clean the environment.  I am learning at both school and home.

Is there anything you do at home to be green?     We recycle. It is a really funny sight to see the recycling.  Kat, my younger sister throws the pieces one-by-one into the giant recycling bin at our rec. center and they go flying.  It doesn’t have to be boring to help save the environment.

Is there anything you do at school to be green?    We recycle the papers we use during classes that don’t need to be turned in or graded.  We plant flower bulbs to make up for the flowers that are destroyed and picked each year.

Is there anything you wish you could do at home or school to be greener?  I wish that at school if it is sunny outside just turn of the lights and use the natural light.  At school I also wish we could recycle more than just paper.
