TO WASH OR BE WASHED?

Hi everybody, it's Ben. What would you rather do? Most people would just eat their dinner, get their dishes, put them in the dishwasher, and turn it on. But, dishwashers use really harsh chemicals and a lot of electricity that harms the earth. So, would you rather harm the planet you live on, or do the dishes manually with nontoxic dish soap and turn the water off when you don't need it?

Ben, so proud that you are thinking as a "systems thinker" And can I assume that you are offering to do the dishes for me every night?

WE ALL WANNA CHANGE THE WORLD

Hey Everyone,
It's Hannah and Ben,

We are starting this blog because we have some ideas about what kids can do to be a part of a REVOLUTION SOLUTION.

Revolution means three things to us, and they are really important.

First, our planet is the only place there is for us to live, and while our Earth is REVOLVING slowly on its axis, we as humans are spinning wildly out of control in our use of the natural resources that are GOING to eventually run out. Where do we go once the resources run out? We need to work together to use less, waste less, and want less so that humans can keep living on this beautiful planet. There is no other planet for our future relatives to move to if we use everything up now!

Not only does revolution mean that Mother Earth is revolving perfectly on her axis to ensure our well-being while we take advantage of her gifts, we believe that to stop this out-of-control use of these resources, a revolution needs to happen, at the kid-level. If kids can stand up and say NO to wasting and throwing away things that could be recycled, composted, or shared with someone else, we kids could be just the change that makes our parents stand up and start their own revolution against waste! TAKE A STAND FOR MOTHER EARTH SO WE HAVE AN EARTH TO STAND ON 500 YEARS FROM NOW!! WE ARE THE FUTURE!

And finally, the most important thing. There is a really important word snuggling backwards inside the word REVOLUTION. That word is LOVE. We want to find a solution for the crisis our planet is in. The changes we want to make are because we love our planet. We love our Earth, and we love the people on it. Because of this, we hope you enjoy our new blog. Please join us and be a part of the REVOLUTION SOLUTION!
