by repurposing and reusing old items, teaching children about preventing

a tree, some flowers or even a garden; and

WHEREAS, April of each year is a time to revel in the beauty and
bounty of our planet and to revitalize the efforts required to protect,
and maintain respect for, the environment and its resources; now,
therefore, be it
