Playing too many video games!!

Stop Using The T.V.!
Hello, I hope you guys enjoyed my first blog. I was thinking the community should maybe take a week without turning on the T.V.
The kids at my school keep saying
“Oh I’m spending over an hour playing video games.”
And I say
“Well there’s a lot more things to do then just sitting around playing video games.”

So, here’s a list of things you might want to do:

  • Play board games
  • Play outside
  • Read a book
  • Draw pictures
  • Create a blog (my favorite)
  • Talk to friends/family
  • Take a nap (my Dads favorite)
  • Pick up trash from the road
  • Be active
  • Learn a new language

I think that’s a lot now, enough to get you started.


FUN FACT
It would take a hamster in a wheel about 10 hours of running to power half an hour’s worth of video game playing. That’s a long time if you ask me!

Plastic, plastic everywhere and not a drop to drink

Hello, I thought that the community should all help and save the planet, our planet. So the first thing to do is we should stop using plastic bottles and use reusable bottles.
Why shouldn’t we use plastic bottles?
You shouldn’t use plastic bottles because plastic takes too long to biodegrade. If we keep using plastic bottles we will have so much plastic that there won’t be any land left for plants to grow.
So, how long does it take for plastic bottles to biodegrade?
It takes about 1,000,000 years for plastic bottles to biodegrade. Well if you ask me that’s a long time!
Fun Fact
“Americans buy an estimated 29.8 billion plastic water bottles every year.” Wow! Isn’t that a lot of plastic water bottles? That’s horrible for the environment, if you ask me!
