Taking Care of Our Earth


by Iteach

Good Morning Owls!!

(pause)

Let's try that again, Good Morning Owls!!!

Now I hear you! :)

Today owls we are going to review the topic of Taking Care of our Earth. Yes, owls, we have discussed this before in class, but it is very worthy of another lesson. Before we learn new ideas of being "green" let's activate our prior knowledge and review amongst ourselves what we have learned from our fellow owl friends about how to take care of the Earth. If you are having a hard time remembering our prior discussions, I'm sure Shirley, our history & stat. teacher will guide us to correct blogs.

Here our some guidelines while you are reviewing with your partners.

1. No talking about porn unless you can some how relate it to taking care of the Earth.

2. Remember to be good listeners and to give kudos to your friends for participating.

3. Watch your language, because Principal Tinka will be watching.

Today's discussions will help you for your next assignment. Yes, that is right you will have an assignment. School is not over for another seven weeks. I would like you to do some research and teach your fellow owls something new about being friendly to the Earth. It can be a tiny useful tidbit of information or a lengthy essay. You will post this assignment on the blog Wed., April 22nd, since that is Earth Day. We will have a fun Earth Day celebration.

Okay, I have talked enough. It is now time for you to share what you already know about today's topic with other owls.

bonachichi said...

Good morning Bebbi! Good blog iteach! Has anyone looked into methane gas pollution caused by cows farting? Is there a Bovine Flatulence Reduction department?

Maureen said...

Good morning feathered friends!

BEBBI...welcome back. Congrats on 1st.

BONACCI...too funny!

ITEACH...loved your blog. I'm sure we will read lots of great ideas from everyone here.

I think TINA needs to conserve water and STOP washing loads of water!!!

I really have to leave for work soon.

Lynn D said...

Morning Glories!

Congrats on first Bebbi!

Hmmm Home work! I will do some later! Procrastination!

Oh I know buy a rain barrel to catch water runoff from your gutters. Great way to water the the garden or flower beds.

I am on the run again today!

Morning Bonacci and Mo.

Bebbilane said...

Bonacci: I have actually heard something about this Cow Farting problem. Sounds like a real issue to me!

Iteach: I used to recycle a lot when I lived in another state but moving to Kentucky recycling has not been as focused on. I think that the area is coming around. I am thinking of starting to squish my cans again. We go through a lot of soda cans. Also, have considered giving up the bottled water I am so addicted to. It would save me money for sure.

Bebbilane said...

Morning Mo and thanks for the welcome back.

Morning LynnD

Morning Bonacci..forgot to say that when I commented on your funny this morning. It sure made me laugh.

Bebbilane said...

10..bbl..(i Hope)

Zona said...

Good Morning!

ITEACH: We've bought those reusable shopping bags, and we keep them in the trunk all the time. This way we don't have to keep getting the plastic ones each time we shop. We are forever forgetting to bring them into the store with us though. Since I'm the one that usually goes out to get them, I'm getting much better at remembering not to forget. ;)

Great blog ITEACH, I'll keep trying to come up with ideas.

Zona said...

BEBBI: Congrats on FIRST!

LYNND: That's a really good idea.. all we need here now is the rain! :)

MO: Is it too late to call in for you?? ;)

G'morning BONACCI!!

I think it's time to go to sleep..I'm still not too sure..dang schedule changes...

Have a Great Day Everyone!

night.owls.sb said...

Bebbi..

Happy 1, and welcome back, does this mean you are feeling better? sure hope so..

:O)

night.owls.sb said...

Bonacci..

No, I have not looked into that, Not even sure what it is, however what I do know is when humans fart, the smell is pretty bad..

:O)

night.owls.sb said...

Mo,
You are late for work? hmmm, you are never late.. Perhaps you had a later shift 2day..

goldie said...

Good Morning Hooters!

Congratson 1st and hi bebbi.

Zona- We do the same thing. I got all kinds of reusable bags, always left them in the car. I have gotten way better now at remembering to bring them in. I always remembered at the grocery store- it was the Mall or Walgreens, etc. that I would forget them.

I also buy recycled paper products when I can for the office.

Hi Lynn and bonacci, Carol & Mo!!

night.owls.sb said...

Iteach...

I don't do much to safe the earth :(

I think I am a little lazy about it, I will tell ya what I do tho!

Recycle trash @ home (not @ work)

My lightbulbs @ home are earth friendly

I bought one earth friendly bag, from barnes and noble, and hardly ever use it, I did buy it tho, so that should count.. right?

I go to church, it might not be earth friendly, but I surly pray to safe the earth..

goldie said...

Oh, and I have been near a cow when it farted. But let me tell you, we could bring a country down with the smell of my dogs farts!!

night.owls.sb said...

Goldie..

Waving madly @ ya.. with both wings..

:O)

night.owls.sb said...

Iteach...

I love being in your class, I will surly watch my language today, but ya gotta be careful of Tina, she might not listen to you..

I will def be a good listener, but with everyone marching all the time especially to 69, I might get distracted..

And, I will surly watch my porn remarks, however porn does take care of the Earth, why do think we have earthquakes, without earthquakes, geez the Earth would be so frustrated..

Can't wait for my assignment on the 22nd, I love homework..

Lynn D said...

Real quick I had another shower moment! I do my best thinking there.

I thought running around nekkid is earth friendly as you are using less water to wash clothes. Then it popped into my head you would be taking more showers or baths because of the lack of clothing so that does not work.

Then the light bulb came on! Just use the water from the water barrel and problem solved.

Nekkidness for saving the earth! Buck nekkid and going green! Nudity for water conservation!

I think I could start a mass flesh movement.

Lynn D said...

That was my porn moment for the day! See it applies Iteach!

night.owls.sb said...

Oh, Iteach, I forgot the most important part..

GOOD MORNING!

night.owls.sb said...

OMG...


Lynnd...


LMAO...

Just one question, is the light blub that went off in your head, earth friendly? LOL

night.owls.sb said...

Goldie...

I gotta tell ya, there nothing like a boston terrier fart.. Oh my word, awful, just awful..

night.owls.sb said...

Gosh, I gotta tell ya, I look fantastic.. Dontcha think???

night.owls.sb said...

Zona....

Sleep well, hope you dream of our friendly earth, and all the pornish whores that so willing keep our grass green, and our men so happy!

Its certainly is a good day!

:O)

bonachichi said...

Cows pack a punch. I've never been as impressed as I was with camels. It's loud, long and potent! If I could fart like that, I'd brag about it.

night.owls.sb said...

Ok, this pornish hen, has to start my day..

See ya all later..


:O)

night.owls.sb said...

30, just cause..

night.owls.sb said...

I am still here.. I just read area 51, you guys crack me up..

Mo, now I know why you were late 2day..

Ibb, you always belonged.. its me that needs to belong, cause I am such a outcast.. LOL

Tina,
"yes mo" LMAO

Shirley,
Heck that was alot of marching..
"oh thats me" LMAO

Tina~in_ut said...

Iteach~ thank you for the wonderful lesson. I thought the same thing as LynnD....and no shower needed. :D Also, watching porn is earth friendly. You see, if you are watching porn, you are not out driving your car. If you are watching porn, you are not on an airplane. If you are watching porn with a friend, THEY aren't out driving or on an airplane either. Those things cause pollution...ijs~

night.owls.sb said...

Bonacci..

Ok, so I will skip meeting a camel, and if you could fart like that, I am triple glad we are internet friends then, cause I wound not want to take a whiff of that fart!

night.owls.sb said...

Tina....

Oh, you are so right..

And if you are "doing porn" then that is ok to, cause no pollution..

Perfect!

Sandie said...

Congrats on first, Bebbi! Feeling better? I hope so!

iteach **hand raised high in the air** Can my seat be moved? Bebbi is crying over Tina's blog, Bonacci is farting and bragging about it, Mo is trying to leave (says she has to go to work!), Zona is .... well, I'm not exactly sure what she's doing but it looks like she's doing a rain dance over LynnD's rain barrel, LynnD is running around nekkid, Carol is talking about pornish hens, Goldie was on task but is now discussing her dog's stinky farts and Tina is trying to relate pollution and porn.

I'm completely distracted and off task. So, can I be moved?

Tina~in_ut said...

LMBO Sandie!!! omg....that's a good one!!!! Mrs. Iteach....Can I sit with Sandie? I have gas and I want to share with her! Sharing is good, right? Didn't you teach us that yesterday? :D

Zona said...

I was laying in bed, trying to fall asleep when an idea for ITEACH's blog suddenly hit me!!

If you are going to use any battery operated pornish devices..make sure you use rechargeable batteries!

Now that I feel I have been able to help..I'm going back to bed..

night all!

Tina~in_ut said...

uh....fyi....the above noted person sent me an email about the rechargable batteries....let me share the rest of it with you:

Also remember...porn leads to friction..which generates heat....so you stay warm in the winter without turning on the furnace.

In the summer..save on energy by turning off the lights and taking your porn out to the pool..

hmmmmmm~ do you think she has experience in this area?~ ija~ :)~

MEK in AZ said...

Happy WEdnesday!!

OH NO, MR. BILL, we have homework..

Iteach - picture me the night before the assignment is due, working my butt off, cuz i always procrastinate!! Great blog!! I felt like I was sitting in class.

MEK in AZ said...

Bebbi - congrats on first..

Sandie - Vinny from Welcome Back Kotter comes to mind when I read your comment - LOL at wanting to be moved!!!

Lots of farting going on this am..

ZOna - rechargable batteries - OMG!!!

waving howdy to Bebbi, bonacci, MO, Lynn D, Zona, cpgem, Goldie, Tina, Sandie and all who land.

whabbear said...

iteach: LOL@ porn not allowed unless it's topic-related!

I'm going to have to put my thinking cap on.

ibebold said...

Just_Lin said...

Good morning, Hooters!

Bebbi Congrats on #1! I hope you're feeling better, now.

Iteach Great blog today. Hey, if the weather is nice, maybe we can have the class outdoors, what with all the farting in here.

I do recycle. All states don't have recycling programs, it seems, and that mystifies me. I have eco-friendly bulbs in some of my light fixtures. I

Just_Lin said...

Sandie LOL @ your re-cap. What an unruly class we have!

Just_Lin said...

I get to go have my gray roots covered and my hair cut. Woo Hoo! BBL

Just_Lin said...

Is anyone here to march to 69?

Just_Lin said...

Hey Shirley! Mark that down! Okay, that was my earth-friendly porn for the day. :)

Mary/MI said...

Happy hump day everyone. P U it smells awful here in the nest! Why is everyone pointing their finger at the poor camel? Tina looks the most guilty! lol!!

iteach, I have the Maytag high efficiency washer & dryer, I recycle paper,glass,cans & plastic. I use earth friendly floor,bath & dusting
products. I unplug & turn off stuff when not in use. I use earth friendly bags for grocery shopping.
I wish there were more recycling centers, and more community involvement.This area is not encouraged to recycle. I do a lot of nagging about it in hopes that more will recycle.

I would like to recycle Mr Mary in hopes he will come out tobacco free & sweet smelling lol!

Mary/MI said...

Just lin I almost stole your 69! whew!

Mary/MI said...

BBL I am off to do gross-ery shopping.

Jodi said...

ITEACH - Great blog. We recycle as much as possible. It's really amazing how little we put in the trash anymore!! And I also use the cloth shopping bags, earth friendly light bulbs, and am forever switching off lights when someone leaves the room!!!

ZONA - Thanks for the reminder....will add rechargeable batteries to the bag I'm leaving for TINA!!!

BEBBI - Congrats on first and welcome back!!

MO - Hope you made it to work!!

BONACCI - Bovine farts.....we call it "dairy air" here in WESconsin!!! lol!!

LYNN D - Nekkid is, as nekkid does!!

CAROL - Yes, you are a pretty crackwhore today!!!

GOLDIE - I don't know about PEPPER, but our DAKOTA learned to run when she smelled "natural gas"....only cuz the poor thing used to get blamed for it!!! lol!!

Waving a wing @ the HOmek sisters, SANDIE & WHABBY!!!

Jodi said...

75!!!

Jodi said...

JUST LIN - Congrats on your earth friendly 69!!!

MARY - Have fun grocery shopping....it is a job I hate!!! That's why MR. JODI does it on Sundays. :O)

kahonugrl said...

Yo Ms. iTeach:

So when the pizza delivery dude gets here don't tell him you didn't order anything cause we are gonna be needing some deep dish pizza and drinks while we are entertained by all of this porn.

Spacolli~

whabbear said...

IBB: Thinking cap.

OK, not really.

whabbear said...

We don't use them.

whabbear said...

Don't like them.

kahonugrl said...

Whab:

I don't like them or use them either....bwahahahahaha

bonachichi said...

Thinking cap? A condom? Clearly, if a condom is involved there isn't any thinking going on. Two mutually exclusive activities.

goldie said...

Whabby- I certainly hope now that you are married and hopefully beyond child bearing years that you are not using a condom!

I have a good one! I buy pizza (sometimes) from a local Pizza Place (Glass Nickel) that uses recycled cooking oil in their delivery cars!! Now that is going above and beyond.

I also save twist ties. I have a huge bag of them, which I re-use. Mr. Goldie thinks I'm a bit off kilter, but hey they come in handy for a lot of things.

Tina~in_ut said...

Oh my gosh....oh my gosh....oh my gosh...how could i forget! I save every stinking scrap of paper that i use for scrapbooking....cuz you never know when you will need that certain shade of blue!!!! :D

scirish said...

Just a fly by...Not feeling well today...Cute blog Iteach and thought provoking too!!!

Carol...You have mail

Lynn D said...

Hey Gang!

Carol any light bulb that goes off in my head is usually of the low wattage variety!

Man I am really wondering what you guys have been eating.

Sandie I love your Iteach question and recap!

We have been without power for the last couple of hours so I need to get some things done as it is finally on. Be back later.

Jodi said...

TURTLE - Luv the Spicolli reference!!! AND deep dish pizza!!!

GOLDIE - Glass Nickel Pizza....to die for!!

TINA!!! Congrats on 100.....and I feel bad for your co-workers....ijs!!

Jodi said...

TINA - Did you see my comment for you in Area 51....IN RE: SHAVING?!!?

sacBarb said...

Happy Wednesday Owls.

Iteach, I'll have to think about something new to be earth friendly and save energy. It's not easy being green!

I already use the squirrely light bulbs and I turn off lights, have new energy efficient washer and dryer, use the cloth bags for grossry and other stores, recycle all my junk mail and other paper & cardboard, and I save twist ties, too. Oh, and I also save every scrap of scrapbook paper and ribbon.

I also have a Hybred car. Bear, how do you like your new car?

sacBarb said...

Bebbi, congrats on #1

LynnD, LOL @ mass flesh movement

Zona, I do use rechargeable batteries, but I put them in my flashlights.

Sandie, Where do you want to move to? Anywhere you go, you will be next to someone with a problem!

MEK, It has been very windy here, too. For two days we have had gusts of 40-50 mph. Clearly, not good hair days.

iteach said...

This tired teacher is very pleased with the comments on the blog today!

I totally loved reading them all.

I will comment on a few, but then I must fly.

It is so nice hear today that I want to go outside and take a walk.

whabbear said...

SacBarb: You don't want to get me started! I LOVE LOVE LOVE it, and can't wait to show it to you in September!

iteach said...

To begin with, Tina , I read your blog from yesterday and thank you for sharing something private from your life.

I admire your strength and humor.:)

iteach said...

Bebbi- good job on being first! I love students that are prompt.

I hope Kentucky starts making more progress with "going green".

Lynn- I have always wanted a barrell to water my plants. However, I keep having nightmares of my little ones falling into it. So once they get taller I'm definetly going to get one.

Also, Lynn, are you still naked?

iteach said...

Sandi, I move all my students around at the beginning of every month. However, there are times when I have to do an "emergency" move, because certain children cannot stay in their own space.

Sandi I will grant you your wish and move you. You can sit next to Tinka. :)

iteach said...

Oh, Turtle, I absolutely love Fast Times from Ridgemont High. That is one movie I could watch over and over.

Lynn D said...

Flying through!

Iteach I never said I would get nekkid! Just that I would start the movement. We have Carol and Birdee for the nekkid moments. LMAO

Maureen said...

ITEACH..the hospital system I work for does direct deposit for almost all the employees and last month they decided that they will no longer mail the pay advice to our homes. It saved a massive amount of paper and $125,000 annually. In our division we are trying to go paperless. We haven't gotten there yet, but we are working on it.

I am not so good at home ;( I leave lights on, the tv and often the computer. I also forget my canvas bags all the time. I do re-use my plastic gross-ery bags. I take them to work to give the nurses their supplies in. I have a lot of work to do to help the planet.

Tina~in_ut said...

I say we all stop using toilet paper and just use our hands~ :D

Maureen said...

NOTE TO SELF...if I ever meet TINA...DO NOT SHAKE HER HAND

Tina~in_ut said...

no problem mo...i hug~ :D

Maureen said...

Second note to self...If I ever meeet TINA...always stand in front of her

Tina~in_ut said...

Note to self: eat dinner~ :D

bbl~

kahonugrl said...

a special request please. I am recording it, but will be out this evening at a going away party. To those who have my cell number can you text me the name of the person who gets the boot on Idol.....

pretty please?

Lynn D said...

Um Tina you need to wash your hands before you touch Eunices face. Kay?

kahonugrl said...

Are you gonna eat dinner with those same hands? I sure hope your not eating something like chips and salsa or hot dogs or fingerfoods.

At least but yourself a bidet then your only worry will be how to drip dry. ijs~

night.owls.sb said...

Tina...

I am way ahead of you, I have been using my hands since the 90's it was the in thing back in the day..

:O)

night.owls.sb said...

Lynnd..

Birdee and I.. nekkidness.. LOL

night.owls.sb said...

I am watching Aidol.. Jeniffer Hudson is so pretty..

night.owls.sb said...

Update on my obsession..

Octomom has all her babies home now..

They are all very cute.. I just hope she can handle it..

ibebold said...

TESTING!!!

Maureen said...

WTF?????? The weatherskank just said there is SNOW in our forecast...NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

kahonugrl said...

Thanks to those who sent and chatted about spoilers ;-)

I am outta work and off to listen to one of the sweetest voices on the island.....my friend Mike Keale who is Bruddah Iz's cousin (somewhere over the rainbow and wonderful world fame). We are having a going away party for him that he doesn't know about at his last gig before he moves to the mainland. Lots of local musicians are gonna show up to sing and pay tribute to him. I will try and take pics and post em on spacebook and MyFace...lol

Wishing everyone a great evening. IBB love your new avatar~

Sandie said...

Mrs. Iteach, thank you so much for moving me next to Tinka. I know she'll do none of those things the other owls were doing.

I was next to Tina but she was sharing a little more than her farts. And, after her last post, I'm afraid she'll touch my homework.

Thank you, Mrs. Iteach! You're my favorite teacher now!

(Gee whiz, I'm a tattletale and a suck-up.)

Sandie said...

Oh, and by the way, we recycle faithfully at my house. I enjoy crushing all the cereal boxes and milk cartons. :)

Also, is it cheating if I work on my homework for the 22nd with my son? He's taking AP Environmental Science this year. I'm gonna get an A!!!

Sandie said...

The necklace looks great on you, IBB!

Maureen said...

SANDY...geeze, trying to be the teacher's pet???? I bet you get to slap the erasers together, too.

I don't care where I sit...as long as it isn't behind TINA!!!

East Coast owls...what'd ya think about AI tonight? i slept thru most of it...woke up when Miley was singing.

K-GIRL...LOL@MyFace and Spacebook!

Sandie said...

Yes, Maureen, I do get to slap the erasers AND pass out papers. So there.

I was okay with AI. I agreed with it.

whabbear said...

K-girl: DON'T tell me you're going to be drinking... AGAIN! LOL!

Sandie said...

I had a really busy, really annoying day. Unfortunately I was the annoying part. I really got on my own nerves today.

So, I'm off to bed and hoping that I'll be more pleasant to be with tomorrow or I'm not taking me to the gym. (Now that's a good excuse if I've ever heard one!)

Goodnight!

Just_Lin said...

Sandie Gee whiz? Maybe you're also The Beav. LOL

Iteach Sandie's gonna cheat!!!!!

IBB The necklace compliments the "girls" very nicely. :)

ibebold said...

SAndie... Kgrl... thanks...

Sandie... tattle tale and suck-up... you better stay off the playground... you might get beat up at recess...

ibebold said...

About idol.. I think the right bottom two.. but I think the wrong one went home!!!

ibebold said...

Just Lin... we were typing at the same time... Thank you ...

And...
did I miss something ... Where is Lani???

Just_Lin said...

IBB Lani is awaiting the arrival of her granddaughter, which should happen any time now. :)

ibebold said...

I was thinking maybe baby was here and I missed it... glad I didn't miss it... tell her we said HI.. and we miss her...
thanks...

are the meds helping your kitty??

iteach said...

Oops sorry Lynn, I had visions of you being naked.
That is what happens when you read to fast. :)

Sandi gets extra recess today! lol

You guys are so clever! I said no porn just to be funny, but you guys actually came up with some clever ways to save the Earth by using porn. That will be an "A" for creativity. :)

iteach said...

IBB, I love the necklace on you. Very pretty. :)

ibebold said...

Iteach.. thanks...
there are some very creative owls in here...

iteach said...

I think Whabby should get the necklace and hang it from the mirror of his new car. That would be so cute!

Speaking of bears, IBB, you could put the necklace on the friendly bear that comes out at night for snacks. ;)

Just_Lin said...

IBB Yes, the kitty is doing well but really fights having pills.

Iteach Maybe the next class needs to be on manners and hygiene. ;)

ibebold said...

I would be afraid we would never see the necklace again.....and... I am falling in love with this necklace...

iteach said...

Good point Just/Lin!

I do spend most of my day on that topic in my classroom. I reminded my class today why they shouldn't pick their nose and eat their boogers for the millionth time.

ibebold said...

I have gotten many compliments when I wear it...

ibebold said...

Iteach... gotta love that... ewwww

iteach said...

IBB- I bet you are! I already have and I haven't even put it on, yet.

ibebold said...

just lin... glad meds are at least helping since you have to go through so much to get them down..

Just_Lin said...

IBB And the cat is 17 1/2 yrs old! You'd think she couldn't fight it so hard.

ibebold said...

Just Lin.. wow... that much fight... good for her... tough kitty..

JoeyfromSC said...

Hey y'all!! Wanted to fly by and speak! I know I am always absent, but work is killing me haha

I don't know how some of you work fulltime and keep up with everything(and the nest) online!

I am watching the A-List Awards right now and am getting sleepy lol

I hope everybody's doing good! I am off tomorrow, so I'm gonna try to catch up around here and comment more!

Hugs to you all!!!

Joey

Congrats on 1st Bebbi! Tina, how did you let that happen?haha

JoeyfromSC said...

Excellent blog Iteach!!:)

I wished more people took pride in this planet/home of ours!! I try to do my best by being as "green" as possible!

I can't wait to see the new green show premiering on HGTV Sunday night!

MEK in AZ said...

Idol is over - and IBB - you gave me some WRONG information!!!

:-)

East Bay J said...

Hi hooters!

Finally getting to blog!

Iteach we recycle lots... our garbage company charges us for 3 cans. One is for regular garbage, the green one is for yard waste, and the blue one is for everything else, i.e. plastic, glass, newspaper, etc.

We have several local places to bring cardboard, cans, you name it.

MR. EBJ is trying to "compost", he takes leftover food and buries it out in his garden.

I'm not sure if he's doing it right, he calls it "feeding the worms".

We have replaced most of our light bulbs with the (I can't think of what they're called). But the squiggly ones that are energy efficient.

We also try to group our errands, for example on Tuesday I had banking, pet store, and a couple other places to go. I made 1 trip instead of several just to save some gas.

I shop at Trader Joes, and usually I bring the same paper bags so I don't have to get new ones each time.

If you bring your own bags, you can enter in a drawing for free grossries. I haven't won yet, but it is saving trees.

I do plan to get the cloth bags one of these days.

IBB the necklace looks lovely on you!

ibebold said...

O.K... My space or email me... I was on the phone with you talking the last 5 minutes of idol... so I may have missed something!!!

MEK in AZ said...

Iteach great blog!

At the office we have very little "regular" garbage. We rinse and recycle juice cartons and coffee cups and shred all paper. Any organic garbage is taken home and put in our organic buckets. I do the same thing at home. I use cloth bags for goceries and the energy saving light bulbs. Nova Scotia has one of the best recycling programs in Canada. They will soon be charging people .05 for plastic bags at the store. A lot of places you go have idle free zones and you have to turn your engine off. You can be fined if your garbage is not sorted properly. When you buy electronics now there is a fee added on to help the cost of recycling electronics. I can't remember the name of it. Most restaraunts have the different recycling bin for garbage.


Last!!
