Our Little Green Ambassadors!

Jedidiah's school took part in the Little Green Ambassador campaign and the kids had to collect a sticker for every plastic bag they refused when they bought stuff. We helped him to get the little stickers and had to make sure to get some for Krisalyn too or else she would feel that it was unfair. Thankfully, Keziah dosen't understand a thing! It was thanks to mainly Dan and his colleagues who helped to give him the little stickers that helped him get this award. He was really proud of himself and Krisalyn kept nagging why hers hasn't come yet as hers will be given later in school.
