Oh my gosh, I know you're super excited to be here.

I mean, I didn't really need the extra credit, but he's so cute.

We love Earth Day, but he's so hot. Oh my gosh.

I wonder how far we're going to get today.

Ooh. How far are you trying to get it today?

We'll see.

What he's willing to do.

Yeah. I might have some fun today.

I know, we're definitely going to have fun. I'm extra, extra excited.

Yeah.

Oh, my God.

Where is he?

He needs to hurry.

Hey, girls.

How are you? Great. Pretty good. Good. Good to be here.

Good. So you guys decided you want to stick around after class or after school

today for some extra credit, huh? Yeah. We really need it. We really love Earth

Day. Yeah.

Hey, so what we're going to do is we're going to...

Pick up some trash around the school grounds and around the softball field

okay? Okay, great.

All right, so I'll get you back.

Oh, all right. And you can be on your way a little bit. I'll just kind of be

here. Okay, thanks. Thank you.

Well, why did you sign us up for this?

I knew he wouldn't be here. Just trust me, okay?

Okay, he's cute.

All right, here you go. There you go, Sarah.

Oh, wow.

Those are so cute. Nice coats, right? Yeah. Those are for Earth Day.

Picking up in style.

Yeah. Yeah, so just do your thing.

Grab whatever you see. Any type of trash is really good to be picked up. No, you

can't be littering.

No, it's so horrible.

Yeah. Are you good? Are you a free cycle?

She's got it.

She does. She has it.

All right, cool. Yeah, I already see a lot of trash, though.

Should we get picking?

Yeah, have at it. All right.

thing or bad thing. That means the grounds are really dirty.

Not anymore.

Yeah, not anymore, exactly.

Perfect. You guys are so good.

Yeah, it's great that you're doing this.

Yeah, you know, I feel like it's just my extra credit with the school district,

you know?

Yeah, that's awesome.

Well,

I will mark it down in the book that you guys did your extra credit, and you

will be proud of it.

Yay!

Perfect.

So, we were thinking that...

place and see all the different ways we like to face it.

Yeah, we're super interested.

Really? I think you'll love it.

Yeah.

I don't see why not.

Sweet. Yeah.

All right. Yeah, no, it won't be long. We just really want to show you what we

have going on.

Let's do it. I'd love to see it.

I'd love to see it. Yeah.

All right. Okay.

those anymore.

Uh, that's a good point. You know what? I won't make you pick that up.

Hey, let's get out of here. Yeah.

Welcome.

Yeah. Yeah,

we just have brand new eco -friendly appliances.

Oh. Brand new.

Nice. Yeah. They just replaced a lot of things.

Really? Yeah. So everything is so brand new and exciting.

Awesome. Come on. Let's check it out.

Wow.

Yeah. Look at that.

Like, look at this stove. It's like, I think this is the latest one that we

brought. Like, it doesn't use that. That much electricity, like, it turns off

when we're not using it.

It's a lot.

Yeah, we're so excited to do all this.

Very cool.

Very cool.

Yeah, we definitely feel like we're contributing, you know, to saving the

And it's important.

It's so important. Yeah, absolutely.

I love cooking in here, too.

Yeah? I would come over to her place just to cook. Yeah. Like, look at this

kitchen. It is very nice. A lot of countersuit.

Right? Yeah. There's definitely a lot you can do in these counters.

Uh -huh. For sure.

Yeah.

Wow.

There's so much to show you, but actually, we have a little catcher in

-huh. And what it does is it catches, like, all the food, and we use that

to make coffee.

Really? Yes.

So, like, anything that we have, like, in the fridge that goes to waste, we

put it in the composter, too.

Really? So, literally nothing here goes to waste. Not at all?

Not at all.

Wow. So, you just catch it down here and then use the compost.

Yeah, exactly.

That is so awesome.

You just go in there, grab all the stuff out, put it in the compost bin, like...

Wow. It's so eco -friendly. I really love this place.

You guys are really looking out for the environment. I love it. Even the

dishwasher needs less water, too.

Yeah? Yeah.

Interesting.

Wow. And look at this fridge.

Oh, yeah.

At least like this part. And so you need it.

It's so dope. It's got... I don't really remember what this is. Oh, yeah. It's

because they don't open.

There it is. You get to just, like, figure out what you have in there. You

to use it.

Like, it's so, so fancy. It's so brand new.

Wow. It's super eco -friendly. You can't even hear what it's on. No, and it has

your planner on there. Yeah, in case you forget things. Yeah. We have to have

extra credit on this, though.

Wow. Yeah, actually, our extra credit says... Oh, the date, yeah.

Huh.

Exactly. This is wild.

It's so much fun being here. I always come over to her place.

To cook and everything?

Yeah, it's great.

I mean, sometimes we have to hang out. Yeah.

Definitely. Oh, you said about the dishwasher, huh?

Yeah, like, it's so, like, neat to look at this.

Yeah, it really is. You don't even know where the buttons are until you actually

end up using it. Uh -huh. None of these, like, you don't hear any sound.

Everything's super, super eco -friendly. Yeah. I really love it. I'm sure you

haven't seen anything like that.

No. Nothing, nothing this advanced.

Right? Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm really proud of how everything came together.

I feel a lot better about having all these new appliances that are so much

better for the earth.

Uh -huh.

Yeah. Yeah.

And you have a friend that you can come over.

You know, enjoy her green house.

Exactly. Yeah. She's very eco -friendly.

Yeah. Eco -friendly.

Everyone loves coming over here.

Uh -huh.

I'll bet.

This is kind of the house to hang out at. Oh, no, really. I was going to say.

Party house.

Party house.

Party house.

Right.

Whatever you want to do in here. A little bit of everything.

Exactly. We actually have, you know, people over here sometimes, and we'll

around the neighborhood to pick up trash.

Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, wow.

Yeah, so we were really excited when we heard you were doing the extra credit

stuff. Uh -huh, uh -huh. Do something good for the earth and get a better

Right. Mm -hmm. I call it, you know, the cool down.

A lot of times they have a lot of trash.

Yeah.

surprisingly like really disgusting and I'm glad we did something about that

because I don't know how anybody could sit there and look at all that trash and

be okay with themselves. I know, it's pretty bad. It's really bad.

I'm really disappointed in the school. We were celebrating Earth Day every day

of the week. Yeah.

I'm kind of the same boat.

This is a lifestyle, not just a holiday for us. Exactly, yeah, yeah.

Yeah. Enjoying Mother Nature.

Yeah. Like the banks and post offices and everything should be closed on that

day. They should, yeah. That's actually a really good point. I never thought of

that. Uh -huh.

Imagine if everyone got out and picked up trash on Thursday.

It would be so clean.

Yeah. There'd be nothing anywhere, huh?

Exactly. Yeah.

So clean, so beautiful.

It should be more than just one day though.

I agree.

Yeah, and we've actually been posting more on our social media to create

awareness for things like this. To see how important it is.

Good.

Yeah, we do a lot.

We do so much.

I even hope we separate the trash into like compostable, recyclable.

Really? And then just stuff that you can't really... do anything with. Uh

uh -huh.

Yeah. Wow.

Yeah, when you leave, we actually have some stuff to do. We're actually working

on a new project where we take old trash bags and turn them into, like,

bags, like purses and stuff like that.

Uh -huh.

And how's that going?

Oh, well, we just started, so the parts are good, but, yeah, I don't know.

I've always seen, like, the reused curses and shirts and stuff. It's always

really cute.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, you like what you saw?

Yeah, I love it. This place is great. I just can't believe how much you've done

to really make it clean and environmentally friendly.

Yeah, I know it took a while, but everything came together beautifully.

Yeah, yeah.

How about your, so I'm curious, I saw this because I've seen a couple of these

in magazines, but how about your microwave?

Oh, yeah.

I even forgot it was there. You can't even tell.

Yeah? Yeah.

It's so, like, quiet.

All you have to do is, boom, open it up right there.

Uh -huh.

Then there's like all the temperature settings like that to figure out how to

use it.

It is a toaster oven, actually. Oh, wow. So it has like dual function.

That's wild.

You can use it for a lot of things.

Huh. And then, bam, when you don't use it, you kind of forget that it's there.

Right, because it just kind of hits under there. And it creates so much more

comfort, like you said. Yeah, because you can have it underneath and like tuck

away. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, that's great.

Yeah. Wow.

Amazing. I've never really seen one that's like environmentally friendly as

as microwave stuff.

Right? Exactly.

It's the newest model, too. Oh, really?

Yeah. Yeah, it was a little pricey, but it was really good. I was going to say,

that cannot be cheap.

No, not at all.

It was, yeah, I don't know, worth more for that. Way too much, yeah. There's so

much storage space around it, too. Yeah.

Well, that was what I was kind of wondering.

There's all that storage around it and kind of... Yeah.

Huh.

Wow.

Yeah.

It's so fun being equal friendly.

Yeah. It really is. You know, a lot of people underestimate it.

It's fun.

Like she says, the lifestyle.

Yeah. So it's really...

Really enjoyable to get to that point. Yeah, especially, you know, the area we

live in with all these people.

Yeah. It's really something you've got to think about.

Absolutely. Yeah.

I definitely feel like the grass is greener out here because there is no

Really? Yes.

Wow. Well, but that's being in the neighborhood, of course. Right.

All the time. Exactly.

Yeah. We're lovely every weekend.

Yeah.

Huh. Yeah.

That's really impressive.

I don't... I was all the

part, too.

Yeah.

A lot of these are recycled materials.

Oh, really?

Oh, yeah. I found that out, yeah.

Oh, my gosh.

Yeah. Everything here has been made with recycled materials.

Really? Mm -hmm.

Huh. I would have never, I mean, I guess it makes sense the way.

But it's still really nice quality, though, right? It's very, I mean, yeah.

Yeah.

Knit hardwood, that's very nice as well. Exactly. All these are made with

recycled stuff. Yeah. Yeah, we need her to think about this thing. Uh -huh.

Remodeling the house. Yeah, absolutely. Exactly.

Reduce, reuse, recycle.

Uh -huh.

Yep.

I love how you can't hear any of the appliances.

Yeah. And so you actually need to use them, of course.

Uh -huh.

It's really nice.

Yeah, I love living here.

Yeah.

What about you? Are you working on making your home?

Yeah, it's pretty good already. I have a lot of things that have changed, really

upgraded. Well, are we giving you any ideas?

You are.

Show me around. I'd like to see more of the house.

Oh, yeah? No, he doesn't have a lot more to show you. Yeah, absolutely, yeah.

So many awesome things to show you.

Let's do it. Come on.

Yeah, go.

Come check out the rest of the living room. Yeah.

Look at this.

Wow. This is wild.

Right? Yes.

Yeah. You guys are really on top of it, huh? Mm -hmm. And we're beautifully

decorating everything while still keeping the earth in mind.

Wow. It's either been recycled or upcycled. Yeah.

Really? You haven't heard of that?

No, what is that?

Yeah, up front is basically where we take items that no longer have use and

it into something new and exciting.

Like some old barn doors.

Yeah.

That's what this is? Yeah, exactly. Whoa.

That's right.

Yeah. Yeah, you know, and we also have some other cool things on here, like

at these.

What is that?

So we actually used it at the farmer's market. We found someone who uses

recycled materials to create other items.

And now is that a potter's type of thing, or what is that?

Yes. We wanted to take a pottery class so we could learn how to do that

ourselves.

But we just wanted to support some local artists and look at these.

These are so, like, beautiful and artistic. Oh, my gosh. Those are

Yeah, we support.

Oh, you guys are just too much. You are all about it. We're all about supporting

our local community.

Yeah. And we're going to make the earth greener. That's good.

You know what? More people need to do their part.

They really should.

And it's crazy just all the ways and all the stuff people don't think about.

But, yeah, for sure. Sure. Oh yeah, I meant to mention that these plants are

natural air purifiers.

No way.

Yeah, you never heard of that, have you? I completely forgot about that. Hell

no, that is wild.

Yeah, they look like they just kind of like, you know, take the

dust particles out of the air.

Yeah, they really do.

It's essentially what they do.

Uh -huh. You don't even have to replace them that often either.

Really? How often would you say?

Once a year.

Yeah, it's that good.

Exactly. It is that good. Yeah.

Wow. It is. And it's just a cute centerpiece at the same time. Oh, right.

You would never know.

That is crazy.

Yeah. Wow. Where did you find those?

Um, the local farmer's market, actually.

Oh, so they had them at the farmer's market. Yeah.

There's a lot of different artists that come around and show their wares. Uh

-huh. And we just love giving back to the community and help and support

around us. That is really nice. Wow.

You guys must have an aggressive universe.

It's the best. Like, honestly, you have to come up with one day and see all the

different things they have.

I would be interested, yeah.

I'd love to show you. Yeah, that would be really fun.

Wow, those things are wild. And you said these are, what did you say, barn wood

or old retired barn wood?

Recycled barn wood.

Yeah, upcycled. This is my grandma's barn, so it's really cool.

So you kept it in the family even. Yeah, exactly.

We kept it in the family.

Yeah, that's wild.

That's actually taken recycling one step further.

Exactly. You know?

If you're keeping it within the family?

Mm -hmm.

Yeah. Yeah, no, my family, they love doing stuff like this, too. Like, that's

where I kind of got, you know, my motivation to be so green and the way I

because of my family. Yeah, they're like that as well?

Mm -hmm. Oh, okay. Yeah, exactly like that. And so you come from good

Yeah, I like to say so. Yeah. I have a good head on my shoulders.

Yeah.

Everybody likes a good head. Yeah, literally.

Yeah. Even in uniforms.

Yeah. Recycled organic materials.

Really? Yeah, we actually found a company that specializes in that stuff.

And that's where you got these?

Yeah. I knew the school was working on something, but I didn't know exactly

it was.

But they ended up finding them, huh?

They did. Yeah, we persuaded them to join us and be able to get us these

of outfits.

Yeah, these were very nice. I mean, I love the colors and everything.

Yeah, I'm happy that we can be, you know, economical and fashionable.

Uh -huh. Yeah, absolutely.

Yeah. And who doesn't like that?

Exactly. You know, it's a win -win situation for everybody.

Yeah. You know, 27 ,000 trees are cut down every single year.

But you can actually reuse them six times.

Yeah, you can reuse the wood up to six times. times. Really? Yeah. Because of

the byproduct.

Yeah. Yeah. After it's been used six times, the fibers in the tree are no

usable, but I would say, yeah, you get a lot of use out of, you know, recycling

trees. Yeah. Wow.

That's because, you know, they always, they recycle.

Exactly. But with the, you know, with the trees and the wood and everything.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's crazy. That's an interesting fun fact for sure.

Yeah.

I have another fact, actually. Oh, really?

Did you know Earth Day was established in the 70s?

Really? It's been around that long, huh? Yeah, and it actually became popular in

the 90s. Yeah, that's when it became globally recognized. So every country

for the most part, celebrates Earth Day.

Really? And now, do you have any idea how it went global?

I'm not entirely sure.

Yeah, so basically the government, they recognized it. Yeah, it was a government

thing. But yeah, now everybody celebrates it. Everybody should know

And do our other countries now, are they taking it pretty serious and kind of

celebrating it? Yeah, they are.

Well, another fun fact.

Earth Day is actually called International Mother Earth Day by other

Ah, really? I get that like that.

I actually like how that sounds better.

I'm surprised you don't say that. Yeah, I kind of like that better, too. Yeah.

I'm trying to think. There's so many other facts.

Oh, yeah.

I think I have a theme song.

Really? Yeah.

Should we sing it for her?

Yeah.

Go ahead.

I'm kind of nervous.

Oh, now I'm excited.

Oh, don't be.

Three, two, three, recycle.

Do our best to keep Earth free.

Full snippet of it. Yeah, you guys look good.

Wow. Yeah. Maybe we can start a band.

Yeah, right. We should spread more awareness.

Exactly. You know, you can never use enough of that.

The big question is, though, can you make a band that's eco -friendly?

Wow. I wonder if there's instruments like that.

Maybe. I'm sure there's, like, guitars and stuff and drums made out of wood

are recycled trees.

Yeah. That would be pretty awesome. You know?

I'm sure there are. I wonder if the acoustics would change.

Right? Yeah.

It might even sound better.

Right? Yeah.

No, for sure.

Especially knowing that it's recycled. I think people would love it. Well, they

would definitely be more open to it. That's for sure. Yeah, exactly.

Oh, yeah. I wanted to mention that...

Earth Day was actually designed for college students just because of the way

that the dates align.

So obviously it's on April 22nd. Right. So that's between spring break and

finals. Right. So they made Earth Day that day so college students would be

motivated to, you know, participate in economical activities.

And it definitely helps when you give us extra credit. Yeah, exactly.

It's funny that, yeah, exactly.

Yeah. Huh, wow.

That makes perfect sense.

Yeah, I know.

Okay, why not?

Yeah. I love birthdays.

I do too. It's been really fun over the past few years, especially the lessons

we've done with you kids.

You know, it makes it very interesting.

But yeah, it's so easy for the kids.

And earthy. And it is. And that's what I always tell people. It's not that hard

to just do your part.

Yeah. Did you know one glass bottle actually takes a million years to

A million?

Yes, sir.

I mean, that's a long time.

That's why we recycle them.

Right. And do you know what they turn them into or use them for?

Sometimes they just reuse it for other glass products.

Or you can actually use...

One glass bottle can power electricity for up to four hours.

Holy shit. Four hours? That's just one?

Really? I didn't even know that.

I have no idea.

That's why I'm huge into recycling glass products.

That makes sense. Because I love being able to use electricity without having

get all the other stuff with chemicals.

I don't even know what gases they use.

Yeah, right. But there's so many, like, byproducts and other things. Uh -huh.

But glass is such a clean energy product.

Yeah. It really is. Okay. Nice.

Huh. I would have never guessed that.

We're schooling you today, aren't we? Yeah, you guys are.

Yeah.

We love having fun back home Thursdays. Yeah. We're always, like, in our free

time looking up books.

Yeah. It's definitely helped in the class, huh? Well, I was going to say,

girls are full of facts. I can definitely tell that you do your

pretty cool. Oh, yeah. We love learning.

We love learning in class, too. Yeah.

Yeah.

But, yeah, back to what I was saying, how it's, you know, just so easy to

participate in Thursdays.

People don't realize it's the smallest thing.

Recycling is one thing that helps so much.

Just like she said, recycling is one of our battles.

That makes a big difference.

It does.

It's such a big difference.

If you walk a mile down the highway, you will find over 3 ,000 different

products of litter.

Really? Yes. In one mile.

Oh my gosh. That's just crazy.

I can't believe that people are still littering after all these years. Yeah,

like, come on now. Right.

What's the trigger, man?

People should definitely be more educated.

Yeah, that blows my mind.

You know what would be cool?

What's that?

Is, like, only announcements at school if they, like, gave out facts every day

to make people more aware.

Well, you know what? Maybe I'll put you two in charge of that.

Oh, my God, you definitely should.

What do you think about that?

Yeah. Would you be interested in that? That would be so much fun.

Yeah? Well, you guys are full of the facts.

Like I said, we can even look up more.

Yeah, right? Yeah.

No, people will definitely. I think that's a great idea.

Huh. Yeah, spread the word.

Definitely.

Yeah. Uh -huh. And definitely a lot of ethical is either upcycled or recycled

materials.

Uh -huh. There's some things, of course, that you can't really recycle. For

example, marble, once it breaks, there's not really too much you can do unless

you want to create some, like, more vague art.

Oh, my God, I love vague art.

Yeah. No,

for sure.

But that is kind of a one -use wonder, huh?

Exactly. That's why we try to not use those types of products as often.

Uh -huh.

That's lovely.

Well, it has so many uses.

Yeah,

it really does, doesn't it? Exactly.

Yeah, I kind of had a feeling that this was old wood from a barn. I could tell

that it looked kind of old, you know, and reused. But that's great that you

used that.

That's good.

Yeah, we definitely love using recycled materials.

Or if we buy something new, we try buying from local products.

Uh -huh, for like local artisans. Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, that's really cool. Different ways to support our community.

Uh -huh, of course. These things blow my mind. I know.

Purifiers.

Purifiers, yeah.

Literally everything we tell, we just love seeing their reactions.

They're crazy.

Uh -huh.

I had no idea there was such a thing.

Yeah.

Wild, yeah. The new hot thing.

Yeah, apparently.

Uh -huh.

Yeah.

Yeah, you should get one.

I'm actually going to look for them. In fact, if you have the number for the

person you bought that from, I would. Well, we actually have the business

Oh, that's even better, yeah.

Yeah. Good.

Yeah. I'm trying to see what else there is.

Do you remember the other thing? I can't think of any right now.

Yeah, we'll do all these facts.

I hope you remember them. Well, I'm trying.

That was a lot spilled on me at one time.

Uh -huh. You know? Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah.

That's a lot to remember. Now, granted, if you study, you'll remember your facts

just like anything I tell you guys all the time.

Trust me, we know.

We're really big into studying, especially when it comes to eco

Uh -huh.

Yeah, good.

That's good. You girls are... You're good girls.

We're Earth's black.

Oh, Earth's black. Sorry.

You kind of are, though, really. Yeah, we really are. Yeah,

absolutely. Yeah. That's good.

Yeah, very good.

Very good.

Is that... So, as far as the house goes, is that kind of everything?

Oh, we even have electric cars.

Oh, you do? Yeah.

You do, yeah.

Yeah, I know. I mean, you kind of have to. No way.

Like, knowing us. Yeah.

Did you know, I have a fun fact about the cars. Did you know, in the state of

California, in 2030,

you'll no longer be able to buy a non -electric vehicle.

Really? When? Brand new.

When is it?

2030. What?

Yep, not that far. Oh my god, that's not far at all.

So like, you know what's going to happen?

I have no idea.

Will people get fined if they don't switch over? Well, that's a good

They might.

And that's at least brand new. So they will have used vehicles.

You can have them. But as far as brand new vehicles, no go 2030.

Oh my god.

Yeah, because they have gas.

Internal combustion motors as well. Oh, my gosh.

Wow, I'm surprised we didn't know that.

Yeah. I'm actually really disappointed right now.

At yourself?

Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, that was big in the news.

I don't know. I like using my bicycle.

Oh, yeah. Oh, well, that's the best.

Yeah, I know for sure.

And it definitely keeps me fit, too.

Absolutely. It's a workout, and you're helping the environment. Yeah.

Yeah, and you've got, you know, look at you.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Yeah. I have a hello word that I like to use. Oh.

Yes.

Yeah, I like the longboard. We love riding together.

Yeah. I love how longboard I love on my bicycle.

You can imagine us going down the street. I don't know.

You too.

Yeah.

Yeah,

we're actually, since tomorrow's weather is pretty good, we'll be taking this to

school. Yeah, I know it's been rainy, so we have to take our cars.

We might even do a beach clean -up soon, too.

Oh, very nice.

Yeah. Now, where do you park your bike and your longboard at the school?

So, my bike, I like to park it by the gym.

They have a certain area where you can lock it up.

And as far as the longboard, I think she takes it into the front office. Oh, you

just take it right in? Yeah, yeah.

Oh, perfect.

That's perfect. I think it even fits in her locker.

Oh, really?

Yeah. Oh, interesting.

That's convenient, though.

Do you ever take it back to school? I do. I actually take mine and put it in

teaching closet.

Ooh. Yeah.

That's pretty awesome.

Yeah, it works out pretty well.

And I'm not the only bike in there.

I know there's other teachers that are biking to school as well.

They should be.

Yeah, you're right. They all should be. I say it all the time.

I think they just need to invent it.

And I think that's a big part of it, which they're working on.

Yeah, that's what I was going to say, that there should be some sort of

Yeah, like you could get a raise after Exxon.

A raise? We need that.

Right? Exactly.

Yeah. Or extra credit for student school.

Yeah, that would work. That would be a good one, too.

Oh,

I could do that. I could put a bulletin in the teacher's lobby.

In the teacher's lounge, I mean.

Yeah.

That would be no problem at all.

Great. We should start out like an essay committee.

Yeah. Oh, my God. We can totally do that. Yeah, that's no problem.

Wow. I think I know who the president and vice president are right off the

Yeah, right.

I think we have more facts on who voted for us as president. Yeah.

Yeah,

but no.

Mr. Rock, I'm so glad you came over.

Like, I just really feel like...

We're learning a lot and coming up with a lot of great ideas.

You know, this is very productive.

I agree. I mean, I think, you know, and it's never going to work until everyone

works together and in unison. Yeah.

That's how you create new habits.

So, I think.

Us getting together and talking and having little brainstorming sessions is

really good thing. Yeah. We just need to educate more people.

Yeah, exactly.

That's what it basically comes down to, right? Yeah. Exactly.

Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah.

Oh, but you guys get a, you got a nice fireplace too, huh?

Yes. And it's actually made of recycled materials.

This one?

Yes. Really?

Yeah. And even though it looks like there's no heat, it's actually real.

Really? Yeah.

Huh.

Interesting.

What's that?

You want to go see how warm it is? I mean, sure. Yeah, I don't want to burn

myself, but yeah.

It's not too hot.

No? We didn't set it up at the highest setting just yet. Oh, okay. Well, that's

good. Yeah, it's not too cold yet. But, yeah, whenever it gets nice and chilly

in the winter, I like that thing. Yeah.

Exactly. I had a nice little chill night by the way.

I was going to say, I haven't even heard it yet.

You almost can't tell it's there when it's on.

Well, yeah, I was going to say the only reason I saw it was because of the

bright light.

Like it was in his house?

Yeah, yeah, exactly.

Oh, really?

I was going to say, that cannot be cheap.

But if you ask, it was worth a buy. Yeah, good.

Now, how much is something like that? Do you remember?

It's like five grand.

Oh, wow. Yeah. Okay.

Yeah, like the installation and all that.

It adds up. Yeah.

Yeah.

So this super won, and I think it has speakers on top, too.

Oh, really?

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You can play the Earth Day song. Yeah, right?

Yeah. I have a true Earth Day celebration. Yeah, exactly.

That would be so much fun.

It really would, though. Like, have a little dance party. We could arrange

Oh, my God. Yeah.

Yeah.

Absolutely. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. Have everyone bring, like, upcycled items

can kind of have, like, a show and tell.

Uh -huh. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

That would be pretty awesome. That's actually a really good idea.

Yeah, right? Yeah.

I have an upcycled purse I'd love to show you guys later.

Oh, my gosh. Really? Why didn't you tell me about that?

Well, I didn't bring it with me.

Okay, yeah. Well, if you show me later, I can do that. Yeah, exactly.

Right. Yeah.

Where did you get it from? Did you get it from that store we went to the other

day? Yeah, I ended up going back and getting it.

Oh, man. You should have told me. Come on.

I'll get you a matching one. Don't worry. You're going to make it up for

Yeah, of course.

Yeah.

Yeah, but no, this has been such a great day. Like, I really appreciate you

coming over and, you know, hanging out with us.

Of course. And getting to know us a little more.

Yeah. And giving us some more fun facts.

Yeah, I mean, you guys, I'm a teacher, but you guys gave a lot of facts. It's

true, we might need to get hired.

See if I can get you guys a job.

I could be a teaching assistant.

You'd be a really good one, actually. Yeah, I really would.

Kind of be my right hand.

Yeah, I'd love to.

What do they call it? Be the glove to my sleeve or the glove to my hand.

I haven't heard that one, but okay.

I haven't either.

Very close.

Right? Yeah.

I think that's funny.

Yeah, that is. You know, there's all kinds of funny little things like that.

You'll learn, you know, as you get older.

Yeah, when you get your age.

Yeah.

Exactly.

Oh my goodness.

Yeah. But yeah, what other activities do you have planned?

Well, I was just going to, you know, I would probably have a cookout. Very eco

-friendly. Okay, okay, I have a cookout. Yeah, very eco -friendly.

And, you know, just hang out with friends. Have a good time, you know.

Okay, cool. Are you going to have a lot of people over?

Maybe a few. I'd say probably like five. Maybe ten.

That's not too bad.

Nah, not bad. That's not bad at all.

That's very doable. I actually have a friend that has cut down wood if you

like. Oh, really?

Well, you guys don't need it with that fireplace. No.

We definitely don't. It depends if you're doing your barbecue.

Right. I will be, yeah.

Absolutely. So the way they do it is they don't cut down new trees. They'll

down trees that are actually needing to be taken down. Ah, dead already or

whatever. Yes. And then they'll go ahead and replace it with two more. Uh -huh.

They'll plant two fresh baby trees.

What? And essentially they're helping the environment. Interesting.

That is interesting.

Very interesting.

It's an easy way to help the environment by planting more trees at the same time

you're cutting some down. Well, you know, it's kind of like the replace what

took, you know. Exactly.

And they replaced it two -fold.

Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, so they're using it. They're using the ones they cut down.

Exactly.

It's really awesome. Sometimes they replace it with fruit trees.

Oh, that's even better. It's such a beautiful view.

What kind of tree? Fruit tree? Oh, fruit tree. Yeah, different kinds.

I think they love peaches because I have a ton of peach blossoms right now.

Really? Yeah. Huh.

Wow.

I want to feel this fireplace.

Yeah? Yeah. It's hot. You want to feel magic?

Yeah.

It's super warm.

Yeah.

Feels great every year.

So warm.

Oh, yeah.

I'm so proud of it. I like the colors right here. Yeah, right?

But I'm super proud of it.

Yeah. My pride. That's a nice one, I will say.

Yeah.

Wow, that's funny.

I'm sorry.

I know, it's very deceiving. Yeah, exactly.

It will burn you. It will? Well, I guess if you get really close to it, huh?

Yeah, I could see that.

But it's very cool and nice from this angle.

Yeah.

Yeah. This is very warm.

Uh -huh.

It's so amazing. It's made of recycled glass.

Oh, wow. Yeah, that outside, I guess that makes sense.

Yeah.

And we do have solar panels to help power it. You do? Yeah.

Now, are those on the roof?

Yes, on the roof.

Ah, okay.

That makes sense. Wow, you guys.

You guys have all the bases covered, huh?

Definitely. Yeah. We love having all our bases covered.

Yeah. Make sure we pick up everything.

Uh -huh.

Absolutely.

It's a good way to make sure that you're not leaving any stone unturned, you

know? Uh -huh.

Yeah, exactly.

I'm interested in one of these, though. Oh, my God, yeah. We should be, like,

building one. It is, like, the third person we've turned on to buy one.

I like the speakers.

That's very nice.

Really crank the music up. Get party started, you know?

Yeah,

I mean, I have four points here.

Yeah.

Now, do you guys know if it changes colors or does it just stay those

You can actually do like a few, five different colors. Oh, really? Yeah, it

a big, you know, large spectrum of colors.

It has a little rainbow stroke, too.

Oh, really?

Yeah, nothing.

Wow. Yeah, it's like...

It's very aesthetically pleasing.

Yeah, absolutely.

I agree.

Yeah. It's really nice.

Yeah. So we have definitely put together a house in a very fashionable way. Uh

-huh. But also pay attention to, you know, the small things that can make a

difference. Yeah. Yeah.

Yep. We definitely help Mother Nature.

Yep. All right.

We definitely get that down pat. Mother Earth Day.

Yeah, exactly. Mother Earth Day.

Yeah.

That's good. Yeah. It's my favorite holiday.

Yeah, it is very nice. Like I said, they should close the banks and the post

office. It's that important.

Like, it's not really that important.

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah.

Yep,

the more you know.

If everyone closed Earth Day off just to clean, this would be such a greener

world. Oh, absolutely.

Maybe that's a good tagline we could start.

Or we could at least do it at school.

Yeah, we could do it at school. Try it one step at a time. Yeah, yeah. We

actually do that.

Yeah.

There's so much we've got to do when we get to school.

Yeah. Yeah.

A lot of planning.

A lot of planning. We can make all that happen, though. I'll talk to the

teachers and maybe send out an email.

We can probably figure something out. Yeah, I sure hope, because I'll be real

disappointed in the school if nothing changes. Right, right. After all these

great conversations.

Yeah. It would be a relief. Uh -huh. Yeah.

Yeah, especially the extra credit to clean up and all that.

Mm -hmm. Yeah, that was a really good idea.

I wish more people would have turned out.

Yeah, I can't believe it was just the two of you.

Can you believe that?

It's okay.

At least a dozen people should have shown up. At least.

More than that. There should have been like 100.

Yeah, right? Yeah,

no,

they'll definitely be hearing from us when we get back.

Well, that's good. I mean, you guys should tell them. Yeah.

And let them know it wasn't anything difficult.

Yeah, no, it was very easy, not time -consuming at all. Right. I felt like we

were in and out within the hour.

Oh, yeah, we were definitely in and out. And we're packing the class now.

Yeah, and that's the best part.

Exactly, yeah, we're doing really good now.

Yeah, with that extra credit, I think that put you to like an A+. Wow, okay.

Well, how can I get an A++?

Well, I mean, probably in Austin, I guess.

Are you?

That's good.

We're really serious about Earth Day.

Yeah? You

guys take it very

serious. I can tell.

Almost every single thing in here is recycled or upcycled. Yeah.

And that's even better.

And what better way to do it. Right.

Yeah, exactly.

But, yeah, I'm so happy we get to show you everything.

Same. You know, you guys are too cute.

Thank you.

Yeah, this has been a great day.

It really is.

Yeah, I'm just overjoyed right now. Turned out to be awesome.

Yeah. Maybe we should go and recycle some more.

Yeah, what do you think?

After this, I'm definitely more motivated to... To do more recycling?

Yeah, like all this talking has me super excited.

Very excited.

Yeah, me too.

We definitely need to recycle more glass.

Yeah. I agree.

Well, you girls, I'm going to get out of here. I have dinner waiting. Oh, yeah.

You need to get cooking.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah. All right, Mr. Awful. Thank you so much again for coming over.

Like, oh, my gosh, you're the best.

Thank you for all the fun facts, ladies. Thank you for the credit.

Yeah, absolutely.

You're walking out of here a smarter man.

So, should we save some water and shower together?

Let's go shower together.

Heck yeah.
