For the rest of 2008, our Go Green! series will spotlight the environment. Whether it's cars, sports, the ocean or wildlife, we'll tell you what's being done and what you can do to "go green" -- that is, be friendlier to our environment. Plus, we'll be showing you hands-on projects, recognizing Scouts for their "green" deeds and more, so be sure to keep coming back to www.boyslife.org for the latest BL Go Green stuff! |
Hot Spot
Feeling a little warm lately? The 10 hottest years in recorded history have occurred since 1991. 2005 topped the charts. And animals are feeling the heat.

Six projects to do with plastic bottles and jugs
Go Green and recycle empties into fun and useful projects.
Make a solar hot dog cooker
If you curve some aluminum foil just right, you can cook hot dogs with the sun’s heat.
Make a “10,000-Year-Old” Lamp Shade
Cave paintings have been around for thousands of years. Light up your own bedroom “cave” with this torn-paper lamp shade.
Go! Green Team
The sports world is playing a more Earth-friendly game.
Thinking Outside the Recycling Box
Wait! Don’t just throw that bottle in the recycling bin. You could use it to build your own private island. Across the globe, people are coming up with remarkable — and sometimes zany — new ways to help our environment. Here are some of our favorites.
From Sea to Not-so-Shining Sea
Mouth-watering seafood. Beach and water adventure. A convenient, vast waste dump. Oceans have provided us many things over the centuries, but we are pushing them beyond their limits. Here’s a look at what’s going on in our oceans and how you can help.
Pee Wee’s Reef Rescue
Your mission is simple: Save this reef! Help Pee Wee “Go Green” by snorkeling around the reef and grabbing garbage before his oxygen runs out.
Cool Wheels, Cool Fuels, Cooler Planet
More than 240 million vehicles are on America’s roads today, burning a lot of gasoline and creating a lot of pollution. Eventually, vehicles that use no gas could help us drive into a greener, eco-friendlier future. See a slideshow of some of them.
While you're going green, you might run across some terms you don't know. Here's a Go Green glossary to help. |
