Sarah’s Green Tip of the Week - Tip #8: Greens for the Planet

Sarah is a second grader in Las Cruces who is concerned enough about the effects that climate change will have on the planet that she is taking action to do something about it. Her principal agreed to let her regularly broadcast her “Green Tip of the Week” to the school about the problem and how kids can help. We think grownups can help, too, so we are pleased to introduce Sarah’s Green Tips here:

Hi, everyone. I’m Sarah, with your Green Tip of the Week. Today’s Green Tip is “Greens for thePlanet.”

Did you know that the food choices you make can affect our planet? That’s right. You can read green, wear green, you can even eat green!

When you choose to eat boxed foods that are processed in a factory, foods like candy or Mac and Cheese, or even too many hamburgers, can be bad for the planet and you. Anything that has to be processed uses lots of energy. Food from the garden is best.

Thank you, and remember “Greens for the Planet!” —Sarah, age 8
