Did you know that nearly 600 million candy wrappers are sent to landfills each year from Halloween?
Did you know in a landfill, some candy wrappers can take hundreds of years to decompose, some even thousands! Scary! What is even more startling is that there has not been any option for consumers to recycle candy wrappers in our country ever, until now! Thanks to Rubicon there is another option for our empty candy wrappers!

Sustainable food items improve the quality of life, age, illness and ensures the safety of our families and our planet. Educating ourselves on this will allow us to understand food consumption. The choices made about what food we consume, how it was produced and manufactured, ultimately affects our health and the health of our children. The food we eat directly has either positive or adverse effects on our body and our environment. The choice of whether to choose foods that are sustainably made or not –is ours.
Steps to ensure you are eating: a nutritious and beneficial and environmentally conscious diet – and how to choose food choices that conserve our planet’s energy and provide us energy.

This is what you need to know about the Amazon Rainforest Fires
So incase you haven’t heard the amazon rainforest is on roll in a very bad and when i say this i maen it in a bad way it is on fire and it gives us 20% of the earths oxygen and here is the reason. cattle rancher burn the forest so there cattle graze and that is bad cuse we depend on it for oxygen.
Another reason it is our rain forests are in trouble is becuse big companies like Pepsico, Nestlé, etc etc for palm oil which they use to make candys dirinks and other commen items but they can use other things but use palm oil becuse it is the easiest to get.
These are the reasons why we need to protect the forest.
if you wan to read the full list of companies that have been linked to contributing to the deforastatoin of our rain forests, clck the link below.

By Layla Berry, Age 8, Carmel, IN, Helping Ninija
Today I watched Nature Cat on PBS Kids TV and I learned about pumpkins and lady bugs. Lady bugs spray bad smellinggas to predators away and not eat them.
Pumpkns can decompose and turn back into soil.
And also I learned there are alot of things you can do with pumpkins. You can make a pumpkin pie or muffins. You can also fry the seeds in a pan with oil and eat them. You can also use the seeds to plant more pumpkins.
I like Nature Cat becuse you learn a lot about nature.
