Be Green

Play2live reports on last week's important day.

As you may know, Earth Day was on April 22nd, 2008. Many people took part in the spirit of the day, and became a little bit more 'Earth-friendly'. Here is a little more information on Earth Day:

- Earth Day was founded by the first organizers of it in the year of 1970.
- Along with Earth Day, the Earth Day Network ( EDN ) was also created to become a driving force, spreading environmental awareness around the world.

So, now that you have a little more feel of what Earth Day is in your noggin, we can get on to other things. The Earth Day Network supports a variety of different things, and on the bright side , none of them are violent. Signing petitions, participating in various events, and just helping your community are a couple of things the Earth Day Network encourages. Speaking of events, in Washington D.C , supporters rocked out to many artists such as Jordin Sparks and enjoyed listening to the wise words of many guest speakers like Ed Norton and Russell Simmons. That was just one of the events though. Cities such as New York, Los Angeles, and even Tokyo held fantastic get-togethers in recognition of our wonderful Earth.

Above the Influence

Iamtodd encourages you to stay strong.

Author's Note: Some of the content in this article is not suitable for some children; please have a guardian look over it before you read. Thanks! This also relates to my former poem of last week, if you read it, thanks as well!

We have all heard about being above the influence, one way or another. Whether it is, in school, or by our loving parents. There are many aspects to be "above the influence." Modern day now, computers have really taken over our society and trashed a lot of our young kids minds into thinking these things are right. Let's take a look at some of these aspects.

What influences YOU?

Pressure . . . peer pressure. We've mostly all heard about it. Have you tried something to fit in? How did that work out? Most likely, it didn't work out so well. If you are a teenager, you are actually exposed to a lot of things, and many pressures. There are pressures to use drugs, to date (hook-up), to drink alcohol. Those are the 3 main problems with peer pressure today.
