Goodbye Garbage (continued)
…and see what other ways she refines her lifestyle. American’s only make up
five percent of the world’s population, yet account for around 30 percent of
the worlds garbage. Imagine if all of us could be like Lauren Signer, and start
this zero-waste lifestyle. Only having a Mason jar full of garbage for two whole
years of living; we could take that thirty percent and turn it into something to
be proud of.
Now, I’m not saying we should go to the extreme lengths of Signer’s
devotion and completely take certain things out of our lives, but we can all do
something to help. If we just recycle and reuse as much as we can, we can
reduce the amount of garbage we make down astonishingly. Simply by
changing our lifestyles a little bit, we can all change the world. - Jeyda B.

Phineas and Ferb:
Act Your Age
The Phineas and Ferb Show
ends with a colorful episode Act
Your Age. This episode is about
Phineas and Ferb and they are 18
years old ( including his friends)
and have just finished school and
are thinking about applying for a
college in summer.
On the other side, Candice is
in Law school impressing the
professors while Monogram is
retired and relaxing on beach. Karl
is in place of Monogram and Perry
gets an assignment with
Doofenshmirtz trying to destroy
the Tri-State. Veronica(the
daughter of Doofenshmirtz) and
Isabella are present in the episode
as girlfriends for Phineas and Ferb.
The interesting part is that these
people look older than before
which changes who they are. This
episode was the best way to end
Phineas and Ferb like a cherry on
top of a cake. Also, this episode is
available on YouTube for free and
here is the link down below.

Klay Thompson was on a drive to the basket in the third quarter of Monday night's 108 to 105 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers. While the win was fun, Thompson received some troubling news: he had sprained his ankle and that he would not be able to play for the next 7 to 10 days. This could be upsetting to the Golden State Warriors in their upcoming game against the Pelicans. -‐DOMINIQUE M. (For those March Madness fans, post about if you think this helped Duke win) SPORTS

TRASH
SKATE NIGHT
Anthony Wayne Skate Night
New school activities are not so common, but also
are exciting and lots of fun for the students here.
Whether it is a canteen or a field trip, students always
look forward for these events. This year, a new activity
is taking place, sponsored
by the Anthony Wayne
PTO: Family Skate
Night. On Friday, May
1, from 7:00 to 8:30
PM, students can go iceskating with their friends
and family at the local Ice Vault. If you buy tickets prior
to the evening of the event, it will only cost $6 per
person. However, if you buy tickets at Ice Vault on the
day of the event, it will cost $8. In case you need ice
skates, you will be able to rent them for $3.
On the concept of ice-skating, seventh grader,
Lascelles, joked that "if you love ice skating, you won't
mind a sore butt." Be prepared to fall a bit, so it would
be a good idea to bring along a friend to help you. If
you don’t forget to wear the proper clothing, such as a
hat, gloves, and jacket, you will surely have lot of fun at
this new school event!

with information and a payment slip for this new
activity. By: Andy B.
Goodbye Garbage
TRASHING TRASH
Imagine a life without any garbage. Imagine, never
having to take out the trash, never having to separate your
recycling, and never having to worry about that horrible
odor it’ll get after a while. Anyone can live a life like this,
and people all across the world actually are. One girl, 23year-old Lauren Singer, has taken it upon herself to spread
the word about this type of lifestyle to everyone she can. It
is called the zero-waste lifestyle.
Signer is immaculate at following this zero-waste
lifestyle, probably because she is an environmental studies
major at NYU. She said that she felt like such a
“hypocrite” for promoting lifestyles such as these, but
never actually following them herself. However, all that
changed two years ago, when she finally stepped up to the
plate, and she has never looked back since. Over this time
period, she has accumulated only a tiny Mason jar full of
garbage. Can you believe it? The woman has only a small
jar full of garbage for two years of living! It’s incredible!
Night Vision: Superhero Fiction or Super-Awesome Reality? Sure, you’ve heard of night vision goggles.
Maybe you imagined that one day they could shrink
the technology down into contacts, but have you ever
dreamed that you could see in the dark without
technology? As a kid, you may have heard, “eat lots
of carrots and you’ll see better at night.” That’s true,
but it won’t give you night vision.
However, a group of rogue scientists called
“Science for the
Masses” harvested a
chemical (Chlorin e6)
from fish, mixed it
with saline solution,
and worked through
other
more
complicated scientific
processes to create new eye drops that, despite
making people look slightly creepy, gives you night
vision!
This has gone through human testing with very
promising results, but it isn’t proven to be 100% safe
yet. Still, this could be an epic new scientific
breakthrough, by a renegade group of scientists.
What is the secret to her success
you ask? No plastic. Lauren has
completely rid plastic from nearly all of
her everyday home items. She makes
her own lotion, toothpastes, and even
soaps from all natural and organic
items she has in her own house. She
even puts all of these things into
reusable glass jars (mason jars).
Anything that will eventually go
in a landfill when she’s done with it, gone.
Whatever she doesn't fit into that little Mason jar of
trash, she reuses in her everyday life.
Simply by getting rid of the plastic in her life,
such as plastic water bottles, plastic wrappings,
plastic bags, and plastic surgery, she has been able to
reduce the amount of garbage she produces
drastically. You can follow up on what she does on
her blog- “Trash is for Toddlers” (continued on back)
Our website, AWActionNews.weebly.com, is easily accessible through a link on the school homepage. What is the secret to her success you ask? No plastic.
