Thunder struck and rain poured. Max stared blankly out the window, trying to contain his emotions that raged like the weather. He was beginning to lose it. Dropping the kite from his hand, Max broke out into full sobs. His mother comforted him, "There, there, Max. We'll just find something else to do." She began to unpack the picnic basket that was on the counter and offered him a sandwich. Max snapped, "I don't wanna sand-mich!" A flash from the sky lit up the living room.
Boom! Mom sighed.

From the back seat, Tina looked out the front windshield. There wasn’t much to see. Just fields and more fields. “Are we there yet?” she asked, knowing that they weren’t even close.
“Not yet,” her dad said with a smile.

“Are we there yet?” Tina said in a very sleepy voice.
Her dad just said, “Nope!”
Tina closed her eyes.
“Hey sleepyhead!” said Tina’s mom. “Time to rise and shine!” The car had stopped moving.

Kyle ran into his house, slamming the door behind him. He threw his book bag on the floor and plopped onto the couch. After six hours of playing Grand Larceny VII, he ate some pizza and fell asleep with a slice on his stomach and his feet on his book bag. When Kyle came home from school the next day, he was noticeably distraught. He balled up his report card and placed it inside a soup can in the garbage. He then flipped the soup can upside down in the garbage can and arranged loose pieces of trash over it. As he plopped down on the couch, he let out a sigh and picked up his controller.

Aki pointed her camera at the small chipmunk that was running along the dirt trail in front of her. But, before she got a picture, it ran straight up the trunk of a tall conifer tree. Aki stared up towards the top of the tree. All around her tall evergreen trees loomed. The sunshine filtered gently through the pine needles, and a cool breeze blew through the branches. Aki continued walking, her feet crunching over pinecones, pine needles, and dry leaves as she made her way along the narrow, dusty trail.
Where is she, how do you know?
She is in the forest
There are a lot of easy things that people of any age can do to help the planet. Recycling used items is very helpful, of course. Reusing items like glass jars and paper towel tubes helps, too. This can lower the amount of waste that ends up in landfills. While recycling cans, plastics, paper products, and more is good, people can also cut back on how much they use in the first place. Plastic-free packaging is now very common. Buying bulk packages can also lead to less wasted material. Using washable products can also reduce the amount of trash created over time.
