That takes me ...OMG, I remember Schoolhouse Rock!! That takes me back, lol :-)! That's a great clip, I loved watching it, and I'd never heard of it. I hope it makes it to production, I'd love to see more.<BR/><BR/>For what it's worth, I purchased a Bob the Builder DVD for my boys (4 and 2) which has a real environmental focus . . . they are building a solar energy community, riding bikes instead of driving their cars, etc. It's neat and it got my kids asking a few pertinent questions . . . which is of course what we always want our children to do, right???A Crafty Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08530128828277207683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9091965591527056142.post-64346341529040993242008-06-26T12:36:00.000-04:002008-06-26T12:36:00.000-04:00FABULOUS post!

But I do recall the very things you were speaking of... some of them anyway.<BR/><BR/>In looking back I seem to have always been concerned about the environment but didn't always act on those concerns. But, it has been a part of me. Littering was the one big thing I spouted against (but still don't go around picking up trash like I should).<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I'm trying to teach my kids simple things like recycling and energy conservation. I am bad with water though. We aren't a fully green household because solar panels and such are a little out of our league. But we are trying the little things every day and doing what we can. I want my kids to learn this too and I think a new cartoon would be wonderful! I look forward to seeing it.Dr. Pepperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05960607930502864672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9091965591527056142.post-82636550685321795632008-06-26T09:44:00.000-04:002008-06-26T09:44:00.000-04:00Hi Ilina, Thanks so much for the Heartwood USA rev...Hi Ilina, Thanks so much for the Heartwood USA review! FWIW, my mother hates the fart jokes, but my two daughters (6 and 9) are fans. How could I say no?<BR/><BR/>The next episode I'd like to do is called Astro-turf. Carson tries to get her school to have a green roof to reduce its HVAC costs. Shamus starts a kids' 527 group to spread the rumor that if Carson succeeds, all the kids will have to spend their weekends "mowing the roof". <BR/><BR/>I grew up on a steady diet of Gilligan's Island AND Mad Magazine (which was pretty radical in the 70s), so I know what you mean about kids media. <BR/><BR/>Here's hoping we get to make more Heartwood!shane keatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15346998963853334952noreply@blogger.com
