Being Green Bookmark

I found this bookmark one day at home and Daniel brought him from school. The "It's Easy Being GREEN!" is on one side and has easy to follow things that will make you be Green. The "Green Numbers" on the side is a multiple choice question for kids (and adults) to answer. I just scanned both sides and placed it side-by-side on the picture.

The bookmark is from Scholastic Publishing and I think it's a good thing to let kids know of how easy it is being green. The details of the bookmark is as follows:


It's Easy Being GREEN! side:
- Don't take more food than you are able to eat.

- Turn the water off when brushing your teeth.
