Make sure the seat is safe when riding with children.
It’s the last day of the month, and you know what that means: Carpool Day! Maybe you have tried a few trips to the zoo with a friend or are still hesitant to get started with something like that and instead say, “I’ll start when school starts.” Whether you’re a newbie or you’re already deep in the practice of carpooling, make sure safety comes first. Make sure that each child has the proper safety measures for their age and weight. Learn the regulations for your state and make sure that everyone (including you) is safely buckled for carpool extravaganzas. – Michelle Andrade

Make your writing greener with better pens and pencils.
After all that writing your family is doing, make an eco-responsible choice in writing implements. If it’s a pen, find one you really like made from recycled materials with refills. Buy in bulk and let the whole family have a few. By only discarding the refills, you save landfill space and some money (green). If you choose pencils, look to those made from 100% recycled content. Post consumer products put longer life into the natural resources we use. We have choices in everything we do, so today, make the choice to write green (even if your pen is black). - Michelle Andrade
Be safe and eco-friendly while grilling out.
It’s right in the middle of summer and if the heat hasn’t convinced you, all the talk of BBQs and swimming definitely will. We’ve discussed water safety with kids, but what about that barbeque of yours? Make your summer grilling a little greener and safer. Did you know that propane or gas is more eco-friendly than charcoal? Make sure to leave the grill lid closed to keep the heat in so you can lower the gas level and use less of it. For the most reliable safety measure, make sure to always turn the gas off from the tank. – Michelle Andrade
