HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIS!
Haha. So happen that your birthday lies on Earth Day. Any idea what is Earth Day?
(From Wikipedia)
Earth Day is one of two
observances, both held annually during spring in the
northern hemisphere, and autumn in the
southern hemisphere. These are intended to inspire awareness of and appreciation for the
Earth's environment. The
United Nations celebrates an Earth Day each year on the
March equinox, a tradition which was founded by peace activist
John McConnell in 1969.
A second Earth Day, which was founded by U.S. Senator
Gaylord Nelson as an environmental
teach-in in 1970, is celebrated in many countries each year on
April 22.
Many cities extend the Earth Day celebration to be an entire week, usually starting on
April 16, and ending on Earth Day, April 22
.
People can do their part in making a difference by:
-Encouraging your family to recycle on a regular basis is a good way to help the Earth!
-Switching to energy-efficient lightbulbs in your house helps to reduce the effects of global warming.
-Every glass bottle you recycle saves enough energy to run a TV for an hour and a half, while recycling an aluminum can saves enough energy to run your TV for three hours!
-Turn out the lights when you leave a room - unless someone's still in there!
-Use re-useable containers for you school lunches and snacks.
In short, all the stuff to save the Earth la.
And Mid-Year Exam begans on Monday! Still got plenty haven revise!
