Can any body suggest a play or skit for earthday and also
some projects
/blockquote>
Last year I checked out a book about pigs cleaning out a
barn, using the found objects to make a hot air balloon. I
can't recall the title and would like to use it for Earth
Day activities. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Shirley

Poem of Hillol Ray Adapted by U.S. Scouting Service

What a joy and excitement for me to spread the news about
glorious achievement of a bi-lingual American-Indian Poet,
Hillol Ray, whose formative years were spent in
Calcutta/Kolkata, India ... He has broken the traditional
barriers and standards of poetry writing, and added new
dimensions and styles with in-depth issues for the present
and future generations of humanity. His didactic poems
echo his prophetic voice for the protection of Nature,
Environment, and the crying needs of a sustainable “Blue
Planet”. Through his poetry as well as professional
background as an Environmental Engineer, Hillol Ray has
beautifully created and continues to craft profound
awareness for all segments of people around the world. The
list of accolades bestowed on him spans over the past
several decades.
Hillol Ray, popularly known as “The Poet of a Thousand
Accents”, has recently added another feather to his
overcrowded hat! His unassuming charismatic persona and
style have truly made him an icon and a trendsetter in the
fields of today’s poetry. As a “Poet of
Neuroscience”, “Poet of Human Rights (HR)”, [synonymous
with his name initials - Hillol Ray (HR)], and “A Poet of
Ecology”, he has established and unveiled the strong
foundation of awareness of global humanitarian issues.
Undoubtedly, his in-depth poems unequivocally reverberate
the frequently overlooked issues of the degradation of
environment and humanity. So. with sincere optimism and
sublimed agenda, his poems continue to be published in the
magazines and displayed on web sites around the world.
Recent issue of “BALOO’S BUGLE”(A Publication of U.S.
Scouting Service Project; Volume 10, Issue 7; April 2004)
reveals that the Circle Ten Council has adapted the
poem “Earth Day” by Hillol Ray, for Skits, and is being
considered for an opening or closing ceremony CD.
According to this issue, during a performance, each scout
will read a pair of lines from his “Earth Day” poem. For
details, readers are encouraged to view the following

I have a good friend who enjoys recycling objects to make
birdhouses, and they are great. One thing he's used is an
old, metal coffee percolator. He uses the handle to hang the
birdhouse, and when the glass knob is removed, small birds can
enter through the hole in the lid. He's also used things like
