William is Going Green…Why Not Your Kid?
Date: May 23, 2008 | Category: Books, Kids
Released on Earth Day, William is Going Green, the first in a series of children’s stories, William the Garbage Truck & Crew, by James Martin II (with help from his son), features a garbage truck named William and his friends. William loses his job due to the fact that he is emitting toxic fumes, and he goes on a quest to find his new eco self - hybrid and recycling. In a fun and silly way, William teaches children ages 3 to 8 about what they can do to help preserve the environment. Printed on 100% recyclable materials, the series introduces a colorful crew of trucks that do everything from recycling car batteries to repurposing children’s toys. They are giving Bob and his crew a run for their money!

The book cover is so adorable! I think it’s a wonderful idea to let our children start learning ways they can help the planet. It’s so important because they’re the future generation that will be inheriting the planet, and we have to do everything we can to preserve it for them so they can build a better society!
I think going green is something that everyone can agree is a step in the right direction toward building a better community, and laying down the foundations for which future generations can successfully thrive in a healthier environment. Plus, I think many businesses will benefit from going green, not only building a more acceptable public persona, but in the long run it really helps companies save money and be a positive contributor to the world we live in.
Another thing I want to talk about is bioheat, it’s just one small measure that people can take in order to start living a greener lifestyle.
Has anyone ever heard of it, or has switched to it? I want to start taking initiative in turning my home into a greener household, one way I have started is by switching out all my lightbulbs in my home to energy efficient lightbulbs. And I am also seriously considering switching over to bioheat as an alternative to regular oilheat. The thing that I love the most about it is that it’s completely clean burning, and is comprised of a b5 blend of oils which are derived from natural plant and vegetable sustainable resources such as corn, hemp, and avocados just to name a few. If you all want more information on how bioheat works, just go on to http://oilheatamerica.com/index.mv?screen=bioheat I work with NORA to bring this info to you all!
