RingRoad Rosie's Mini Rigs & Safer Internet For Kids

'RingRoad Rosie' and Convoy For Kids Inc would like to THANK ALL of you who join with us in celebrating Safer Internet Day each year.

Safer Internet Day is celebrated by 65 organisations in 30 countries across the world from Australia to Iceland, from Russia to Singapore. In Europe, events are held under the patronage of Viviane Reding, Member of the European Commission responsible for the Information Society.

Safer Internet Day represents an effort by a global community of awareness-raising partners to promote a safer Internet for all of its users, especially young people. It is organised by Insafe, the European network of national Internet safety awareness nodes. The Insafe network is coordinated by European Schoolnet and co-funded by the European Commission’s Safer Internet Programme.

Among the host of events which take place, are a storytelling competition for pupils was launched in 18 countries. Other Safer Internet Day activities include conferences, the launch of Internet literacy programs in schools, media releases on radio and television and the launch of several new Safer Internet websites.

You can CLICK HERE to read more at the saferinternet.org Web site.

Safer Internet Day is the celebration of children's right to a safer Internet. It is promoted by the Safer Internet Awareness Campaign (Safer Internet) an initiative by SafeBorders which is a project of the European Commission's Safer Internet Program.

Safer Internet Day was celebrated simultaneously in Germany, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Spain, the United Kingdom and Australia with the involvement of more than 150 multiplier organisations.

    Some Tips to Save Water

    Each year the typical Melbourne home uses 270,000 litres of water. That's equal to about 5 average swimming pools. However, it's easy to save water in and around the home. All it takes is a little care and common sense....

    This picture tells you where you can save water inside your house and outside. For more infromation on how you can help our environment, Click Here!

    Water Saving Tips
     

    Brushing your TEETH

    Hey Kids, did you know that if you brush your teeth twice a day, for 3 minutes each time, and you leave the tap running while you're brushing, you'd use around 5 litres of precious water EVERY MINUTE. That's 10,950 litres per year, per person!

    TIP 4 Kids AND Adults Wet your tooth brush and TURN OFF THE TAP, then put the toothpaste or tooth gell on your brush and clean your teeth. When you are ready, USE A GLASS OF WATER to rinse your mouth after brushing. EACH PERSON could save 9,100 litres per year.


    Washing the CAR

    If you help mum or dad to wash the car only once a fortnight and leave the hose running throughout, you'd use 1,000 litres of water per hour. That's 13,000 litres per year.

    TIP: Use the hose to quickly spray over the car at the beginning, to loosen the dirt and grime, then TURN OFF THE HOSE. Wash the car with soapy water and at the end rinse off the soapy water QUICKLY with the hose. You'll save around 400 litres of water every time the car is washed.

    ** Even better, wash your car on the lawn and that will "water" it at the same time, plus save money on your parent's water bill (this could go towards some pocket money for you for washing the car AND saving water at the same time.)


    HOSING THE DRIVEWAY

    Let mum and dad know this tip!!

    Using your hose to "sweep" your driveway/footpath wastes more than 1,000 litres per hour! PLUS all the rubbish and leaves go down into the storm water drain causing pollution.

    Use a broom

    and sweep it into a pile - you can then put the leaves on the garden for mulch (which also helps the garden hold moisture longer or even add the rubbish to your compost heap. It's quicker, more efficient and friendlier to the environment.
