Cut Plastic 6 Pack Rings
By Veronica, Age 9, Setauket, New York, USA


The plastic rings that hold cans together can be very dangerous to animals.  Whether they are left on the beach by accident or sent to the dump, too many of them end up in the water.  Underwater, animals can't see them. Seagulls, pelicans, seal and other wildlife sometimes get the rings stuck around their necks and risk choking.  It's very easy to make sure that your six pack rings don't choke animals - 
SNIP EACH RING.


STOP JUNK MAIL
By Veronica, Age 9, Setauket, New York &
Dana, Age 8, South Setauket, New York


Americans get more than 2 million tons of junk mail a year. That adds up to  a lot of trees.   If you want to help make a difference just send a letter to the Mail Preference Service asking them to remove your name.

Mail Preference Service
Direct Marketing Association.
P.O. Box 282
Carmel, NY  10
512

  • Write: "Please remove my name from any junk mail lists."

  • Include all of the different ways your name is spelled when you get junk mail. (Ex. Jane Doe, J. Doe, etc.)

  • You'll need to include a check or money order for $1.

Another way to get your name off of the junk mail lists (without it costing any money) is to do in online at the following address: https://www.dmachoice.org/MPS/mps_consumer_description.php

This will stop your name from being sold to most large mailing list companies.  Your request will last for 3 years. It won't stop the one's that already have your name but it can reduce your junk mail by 75%.  To stop the ones that have your name contact  them directly.
