Thursday is Earth Day, a national movement to go greener and take care of our planet.
We headed over to Hillsborough County s recycling center for a look at some of the best practices we can do to make our world a better place. With today being Earth Day, it s very important for people to think about the planet and think about how our consumption patterns impact the natural resources and the environment, Travis Barnes, Hillsborough Co. Recycling Coordinator said. And it s very important for people to think about how they can make small changes in their daily lives to either recycle correctly or reduce the amount of waste that they generate.

The Australian young writers program was initiated way back in 2009 when Christian Today editor David Chang and Australian cricket chaplain Dr Mark Tronson put their heads together.
In 2008 Mark Tronson was invited by then editor Szelang Chan to commence a daily column and a year later new editor David Chang suggested adding a daily sport article. Too much, but five young people writing sport was adopted.
This worked so well, that by the end of 2009 other young people had joined the Christian Today young writer team writing on a broad spectrum of subjects. Today there are 110 young writers.
As Christian parents endeavour to raise their children to know and love God the question of Christian education will likely arise. In 2019 nearly 4 million students attended just over 9500 schools in Australia. Government schools accounted for 65 per cent of all student enrolments, Catholic schools (20 per cent) and Independent schools (15 per cent) accounted for the remainder of enrolments.
There is a range of factors Christian parents will consider when making a choice regarding Christian education.
Local community
If living in a rural or regional area Christian parents may have to choose between sending their child to their preferred school or attending a school within their local community. This is a significant choice; parents need to consider how much daily travel is sustainable for their child versus the potential benefits offered by the school.
BEMIDJI, Minnesota, Feb. 17 Bemidji State University issued the following news:
Bemidji State University has recently received an energy efficiency rebate of more than $137,200 from Otter Tail Power Company as part of the company s Conservation Improvement Program. An additional $9,700 rebate was also granted for Bemidji State s participation in Otter Tail s geothermal study.
Travis Barnes, director of facilities, said a key component in reducing energy usage is to lay the ground-work for future projects. If we want to put solar panels onto a building, it doesn t make sense to do that if the building has inefficient lighting and outdated electrical control systems, he said. These projects are creating the infrastructure that will make larger projects feasible in the future.
