Growing up in the fifties made me everlastingly grateful for a number of things, such as hot running water, central air conditioning, automatic dishwashers, TV remote control, the internet, personal computers (typewriters really sucked – no backspacing!)

Gasoline and diesel are called “fossil fuels” because they are derived from plant and animal remains that are millions of years old. Some argue that deforesting land to grow crops for biofuel counteracts its ecological benefits. Because land is a limited resource, using it for biofuel crops could drive up the cost of food.

From May through August or early September, those larvae are feeding, growing and enlarging their bags as they grow. If they manage to strip all the leaves off the tree they stared with, the larvae drop off the tree and crawl to another to get food. You will see signs of leaf damage and perhaps dying trees.

We as parents are usually the first and primary source of their learned behavior, even as they grow into their teenage years. Participate in local food drives and donations and involve your kids in your actions. You can even reward them with extra allowance with the money saved on gasoline and car upkeep.
