Water we to do?

Now that we know that the world is in a water crisis, "Water" we to do about it??

We will be exploring this issue over the next few weeks and discover ways to take action to help be a solution to the problem.
Here's some links to explore:

• Bottle or Tap?
• EPA Kid Stuff
• Refill not Landfill
• GO GREEN Stainless Steel Water Bottle - GREAT DEAL!!!

For about the same price (or less if you go to the REI link above and order the bottle that is less than $7) of a case of "disposable" water bottles, you can have fresh, cool water all of the time in a reusable bottle. (Ask Mom or Dad before trying to order it!)
Think of ways that you can do good for the environment. How can you be a part of the solution? The plastic that we "throw away" ends up in the oceans and land fills does not go away. It affects us all.
Think of ways that you can make simple changes in your daily life. Write down your ideas and things you do or are going to start doing and bring to share on Monday.
If you have not already received the reuseable shopping bag from me, you will. It is one of your rewards for being "green" Girl Scouts and successfully selling cookies this year. When store clerks ask you now "paper or plastic?" You can confidently answer "neither."

If you want to look into other types of these bags - check out:
ReusableBags.com.
The one that you will receive is a Brown to Earth Bag Co reusable shopping bag.

Water, Water Everywhere

Water is such a huge part of our lives, even in areas that we may not think of water being important. Do you know that we are in a world water crisis? Do you know what that means?

Can you think of ways water is a part of your life? How do you and your family use water daily?
Who owns water?
Should people be able to say who can have water and who can not?

Write those ideas down or share them to the comments of this post.

We are starting the Water, Water Everywhere Try-it. And revisiting our Her Story try-it by learning about Rachel Carson. Also we have World Thinking Day quickly approaching on February 22. Combine all of this with our troop goal of an Environmental project for our "Cookies for a Change" project we can really make a difference!

Keep up the Good Work Brownies! Keep it Green and Keep it Fun!
