GET GROOVIE…GO GREEN!!!

   The three "Rs" to a successful Earth Day is
Reduce, Recycle and Reuse. Please don't abuse
Mother Earth. Save our Planet. Green Savvy
people help to curtail global warming and climate
changes. Find the nearest recycling center on
earth911.org. Get in the groove, make positive
moves, go for barter, thrift shop bargains, and
green products. Got stuff? Freecycle Network
connects you to people who want to trade stuff for
free. Reread the classics, renew your library card;
seize the moment, make time for friends; learn everything about something; make every minute
count. And LIVE OUT LOUD!!!
