Theme: Cute, Cuddly Carnivores!

 Okay Gardeners, when I think of "cute and cuddly," I don't always think of animals who eat other animals, BUT, there are some really important critters in the garden who eat the bugs, who eat our plants!

Today we'll focus on adorable invertebrate predators - animals who have no bones and eat other animals.

I think they're pretty cute! 

What do you think?

1. The Jumping Spider:

2. The Ladybug:

3. The Dragonfly:

Cute, but deadly! 

These critters help our garden not get eaten by other insects. Look for spiders, ladybugs, and dragonflies in a garden near you!

Theme: One Plastic Bag!

 In honor of Earth Day, we're seeing the story called "One Plastic Bag."

It's a story about women in Africa cleaning their village and tackling the HUGE problem of plastic waste.

Plastic doesn't decompose - it just piles up forever.

What can you do with all of the plastic you use?

Could you use ZERO plastic today?
