From Sue Swyt to parents: TV channel Nickelodeon (with help from NWF) has a great Earth Day pledge for Kids to reduce carbon: go to Nick.com/biggreenhelp.
It's so easy my 5 year old could understand it when I read it to him. It includes a pledge to plant 5 native trees in your yard. Involving your children in NWF certification is a fun family activity and reinforces the educational standards about finite resources, water conservation and environmental sciences. With both standardized testing this week and Earth day, it's a fun way to work on both.

Thanks Stefanie for the information about composting, an effective way to handle yard waste. Go green and save some green on yard waste pickup (in Columbus) and on fertilizers. Compost is the best!

    Dublin history lesson

    Peter and Benjamin Sells came to the area around 1801 from Huntington County, Pa., to buy land. Old Dublin was first platted in 1810 by their brother, John. Surveyor John Shields named the town after his birthplace in Ireland. The town developed the usual assortment of mills, shops and churches, with settlers coexisting peacefully with Wyandot Indians, who camped on Indian Run. The town gained notoriety in the mid-19th century, when a surplus of taverns and rowdy Civil War veterans gave the village a tough reputation. Columbus' growth and the construction of I-270 made expansion inevitable. Dublin achieved city status in 1987.
