Reduce... Reuse... Recycle... This was the theme of our meeting tonight, since today was "Earth Day". We learned about how "Earth Day" came about... it actually was started just in the state of Nebraska as "Arbor Day", where trees were planted to replace the ones that are being cut down all the time. This "idea" then caught on with other states, and then it was decided to save more than just trees. Once this idea spread globally, it was decided to call it "Earth Day", because everyone is saving some part of the Earth.
As part of earning our badge for this, we needed to go pick up trash somewhere. We decided to go across the street to Washington School playground to do this. We added the incentive of playing on the playground once we were done picking up trash! The girls were able to fill a whole bag with garbage!! Who knew there was that much garbage just laying around on the playground?! Great Job, Troop 273!!
