Notes from the Green Machine

Dear BSG fans:

We hope you enjoyed reading our latest book,
Green Algae and Bubble Gum Wars
. If learning more about the environment is your cup of green tea, we hope you will check out the BSG Green Machine club at beaconstreetgirls.com. Going Green is the way to go!

Five ways
you
can be part of the BSG Green Machine today!
  1. Going shopping? Bring a tote bag from home and reduce paper and plastic waste.
  2. Why not give fashion recycling a try? You can find trendy treasures in second hand stores. It takes energy to manufacture clothes—re-wearing saves resources.
  3. Walk or bike to your next destination. You'll save energy, reduce pollution, and get fit, too.
  4. Reduce your average shower time from ten minutes to five minutes and you could save more than four thousand gallons of water a year! Wow!
  5. Make a commitment to learn how you can help protect the environment!
 

Hey Girls:

Reminder from Charlotte:

If you are visiting the Boston area, don't forget to stop by my favorite museum—the Museum of Science in Boston, Massachusetts: www.mos.org

We think these resources are really cool, too.
