Rhyme Time:
My name is Starbright
I'm a twinkling light
and one of the stars
you see each night
I help with wishes
that's what I do
and I help Moonbeam
light the sky at night, too
So, make a wish
for a safe clean planet
for the universe
and everything in it
If your wish comes true
you'll look up high
and you'll see me shine
In a bright clear sky
Read all our rhymes

Remember it's summer-sprinklers, pools, fun:
SAVE WATER OUTDOORS:
- Check all outside faucets and sprinkler connections for leaks
- Keep grass at least two inches long to shade roots and hold moisture
- Mulch around gardens and shrubs to reduce evaporation
- Water in sunny areas more frequently than in shady places
- Aerate your lawn regularly to allow air, water, and fertilizer to reach the roots
- Use a broom instead of a hose to clean driveways, walks and patios
- Wash your car with a bucket of water, then rinse with a spray nozzle
- Put out rain buckets to water plants (Great project for kids!)
- Have the kids play in a pool instead of under a sprinkler
- Use a pool cover to cut down on water evaporation
- Don't drain your pool, cover it instead

It's about taking action and being aware! So, Think of something you can do in your own way to celebrate World Youth Day: Perhaps you could make a drawing or write a story or poem about the world and it's children as you see it, or about some action you might take to make it the world a better place...such as being a Planetpal!
International Day of World's Native People:August 9
On 23 December 1994, the UN decided that the International Day of the World's Indigenous People shall be August 9 of every year.
