Ten Cool Tips for Saving the Arctic

1. Turn off the lights every time you leave a room. Bright lights use energy, and using energy releases greenhouse gases into the air, where they warm the planet.

2. Shut the door! Whether you’re using the refrigerator or running out to play in the summer, shut the door behind you to keep cold air in. Using less energy to cool your world will help keep the temperature from rising where polar bears live.

3. Carpool, ride your bike, or walk to school. When you ditch the car for old-fashioned pedal power, you’re stopping Arctic-warming greenhouse gases from leaving your car’s tailpipe.

4. Recycle, recycle, recycle. Every time you buy or use recycled paper, you’re keeping trees in the forests, where they can clean the air and keep global-warming gases from building up.

5. Reduce and reuse. Every little thing you can do helps stop global warming, even if it’s switching from disposable paper cups in your bathroom to a reusable one.

6. Plant a tree. Just like recycling paper, planting trees keeps the air clean. Talk to your science teachers or employer about organizing tree planting days at your school or office, or turn your own front yard into a forest!

7. Buy food from local farmers. You'll help save energy and animals if you buy fresh, local food instead of frozen food.

8. Wash clothes in cold water. You'll use 80% less energy and will keep the water where polar bears live from getting warmer.

9. Shorten your shower by 2 minutes. This will save enough water to fill up a swimming pool in a year.

10. Buy a hybrid car. It will make it easier for polar bears to get around.

We should do those things to save the Arctic!

★The Ster Festival★


The Star Festival originates from Chinese legend of the two bright stars, Altair and Vega. Vega, a weaving girl, and Altair, a cowherd boy, loved each other. They had so much fun being together they stop working hard. The king got angry and separated them by the big river or the Milky Way. He allowed them to meet once a year across the Milky Way only on the night of July 7th. On that day, people decorate bamboo branches with paper strips and ornaments to celebrate their reunion. It is believed that a wish comes true when you write your wish on the paper strips and hang them on the bamboo.

Today was the Star Festival's party of my club activity. First, we drank only girls or only boys. I drank with only girls! It called us “Gal Con”. It was very enjoyable party for me, because I had no time to drink only girls. Then, we drank all member of my club. I mean that boys meet girls like Altair and Vega! It was so romantic situation!!......But, there was no Altair. ;-(
