Why Acai Berry Is Super Cool. Fun Facts For Kids Only

Shhh.   Here are some secret and fun facts about the acai berry for kids only.  We won’t use all the typical big words that adults use when talking about this radical fruit.  Words like palmitic acid, antioxidants, and anthocyanins are for spelling bees.  

We know that anti-aging just isn’t your thing right now.  Let’s get to the fun facts and then give you some negotiating tools to get your parents to stop making you eat those smelly vegetables at the dinner table.

Acai Berry’s home in the mysterious Amazon Rainforest

The Amazon Rainforest has been called “the lungs of our planet.”   Try a little experiment right now.  Take in a breath and feel your chest filling up like a balloon.   Old air is moving through your lungs and getting recycled when you breathe.   

Okay, now you can breathe out.  This is what the Amazon Rainforest does for our planet.   It recycles and produces about 20 percent of the Earth’s oxygen.   That’s huge.  The Amazon rainforest has so many plants and edible fruits that many of them haven’t even been discovered yet.   One that has been discovered and is popular is the acai palm.   The locals call it “the tree of life.”

The Acai Palm tree; eat the berries and the tree

When you’re hungry and need food, you got to the grocery store and stock up on fruit roll ups and macaroni and cheese.   But imagine that you live in the Amazon in Brazil.  You’re standing in your backyard near the river and a few monkeys run past you.  

You’re hungry, so naturally, you climb up a 20 ft. acai palm tree barefoot to collect berries and cut off a palm branch.  No problem.  You make some acai jam and then peel away the palm bark and eat the inside core, called the palm heart.  Not bad for an afternoon snack.

Eat your Acai and get super powers

How many times have you tried to hide those green veggies at the dinner table by tucking them under your mashed potatoes?   Maybe you’re lucky and have a dog begging under the table for a piece of broccoli.  You feel sorry for the pooch and slip him your unwanted scraps.

It might be time to negotiate with your parents using the acai berry.   The acai berry is a super food.   A super food gives you super powers.   Ask your parents, on occasion, if you could skip the greens and add acai berry to your ice cream instead.  You get your nutrition, and the dog doesn’t get gas from your Brussels sprouts.

If your parents are concerned about you getting vitamins and stuff, then show them the adult nutrient information about the acai berry.   Then put acai in your juice, ice cream, or smoothie and everyone will be happy.

Am I the only one who believes Global Warming shouldn’t be taught in our public schools?

Question by : Am I the only one who believes Global Warming shouldn’t be taught in our public schools?
It’s nothing more than a bunch of lies sold to the country by politicians looking to gain financally from it. Scientists acknowledge the temps are going up, but it is a slight change caused by a natural climate change, something that’s been occurring for thousands and thousands of years. Nothing against recycling, since it does save resources and energy, but should “global warming” be taught to kids as “fact?”

Best answer:

Answer by Dan B
The Democratic machine runs public education. Don’t bother trying to convince them global warming is not real. It’s the religion they’ve made up to replace Christianity.

Q&A: give comment about RECYCLING FACTS AND BENEFITs?

Question by syump: give comment about RECYCLING FACTS AND BENEFITs?
Everyone today has heard of how important it is to recycle and most cities offer a recycling program, but what exactly is recycling and how beneficial is it really to us and the environment?

What are the recycling facts and benefits?
Recycling is the process of turning one products useful parts into a new product; this is done to conserve on the consumption of resources, energy and space used in landfills.
By recycling 1 plastic bottle not only saves anywhere from 100 to 1000 years in the landfill but also saves the environment from the emissions in producing new bottles as well as the oil used to produce that bottle.
For every 1 ton of plastic that is recycled we save the equivalent of 2 people’s energy use for 1 year, the amount of water used by 1 person in 2 month’s time and almost 2000 pounds of oil.
Approximately 60% of our rubbish thrown away today could be recycled. A survey was done and 9 out of 10 people surveyed said they would recycle more if it was easier.

Odd as it seems there are many people who do not realize that plastic bottles our water comes in is made out of oil. This is the same oil that is used to make gasoline. It’s the same oil that is in such high demand and is not an unlimited resource.
Today the most common products in cities recycling programs are paper products, cardboard, plastic, glass and aluminum.

Taking just a moment to put your newspaper, soda can and glass spaghetti jar in the recycling bin will save everyone years in environmental harm from production of new materials, over crowded landfills and the depletion of our natural resources.
4000 Years

When we do not recycle at least our glass or aluminum we cost the earth in power usage, water and oil usage and landfill usage; glass takes up to 4000 years to decompose in a landfill yet can be recycled indefinitely.

Earn Money
Recycling can be done at home as well as in conjunction with city programs. Many scrap yards pay for scrap metal including the soda cans and soup cans we use every day.

Be Creative
Many useful items can be made from our everyday trash; the cardboard tubes left over from paper towel and toilet paper can make useful storage containers for our extra extension cords and prevents a tangled mess in the Christmas lights. If your going to throw these out don’t just throw it in the rubbish bin, put it the recycling bin.

Baby jars can become snow globes the kids can make and give as gifts, old Christmas cards can become new hand made cards and a glass or plastic bottle along with some clear oil and food coloring and a few other common household items can become a groovy lava lamp!
The possibilities are endless and instructions can be found in books and on the internet.

Start Today
Recycling is a very environmentally green activity; however, there are ways that you can make it greener as well as building a strong beginning if you do not currently recycle.
Many people beginning a recycling program look around and wonder what they can put in the recycling bin; there is so much information available on this site, so don’t panic.
By reusing your recycled storage containers you save on the environmental impact as well. Paper and plastic bags are good for recycling storage; however, a plastic reusable bin is even better.

Spread The Word
Share what you know. If you notice abundant trash in your neighborhood start spreading the word and your experience with recycling and if there isn’t already one in place strive to get a city recycling pick up program started.

The fact is many of our resources as well as our Earth is not renewable and we have to start taking control of our selves beginning with the world we live in.

Global warming is no longer viewed as a theory by scientists and has sadly become a fact. The change needed must be in your actions today in order to ensure a bright (not too hot) tomorrow.
