Place your bowl on a flat and stable surface and pour your baking soda into the bowl. Making fake snow can be kind of messy, and you'll have to do lots of mixing, so choose a work surface that you can easily clean. You can lay out a large towel underneath your bowl to make cleaning easier. You can use any brand of hair conditioner, but keep in mind that the color will change the hue of your snow. Check the bottle to make sure that the conditioner is white before using it if you're trying to emulate classic snow. If you're buying conditioner explicitly for this process, read the label on the back. Hair conditioners list any dyes or colors that they use in the ingredients. You may want to use a spoon to scoop out thicker hair condition from the bottom of your measuring cup. Scrape your spoon along the bottom and sides of the bowl so that you catch any chunks of baking powder that haven't been exposed to conditioner. This will take a fair bit of effort at first, since the baking soda will be particularly hard to pull your spoon through. After 12 minutes of stirring, the baking soda will become fluffy and easy to pull apart. Use a clean spoon to stir your ingredients thoroughly. For best results, mix it thoroughly with your hands after stirring it. Pour in 2 teaspoons (9.9ml) glitter and mix it with your baking soda and hair conditioner. This will give your fake snow a shine and texture similar to that of real snow in the sunlight. Keep in mind that glitter is especially difficult to clean up! This is probably not the best idea if there will be younger children around your decorative snow. Your fake snow should last for at least a few hours before it begins to coagulate and change texture. For this reason, it's probably not a good idea to store it for long periods of time.

As you exhale, pull your stomach in to help expel as much air as you can. Breathe in again, hold it, and exhale completely. Remember to count every time so that the 4-7-8 ratio always stays the same. After four breaths, you should feel a sense of calm. Repeat the exercise for several more breaths if needed.

Problem: Article: Hazardous waste that gets dumped on the ground contaminates the soil, which in turn can contaminate groundwater or nearby surface water. Don't ever dump hazardous wastes like motor oil, leftover paint or paint cans, household cleaners, or medicines onto the ground. Check with your local sanitation or trash removal agency about guidelines before putting hazardous wastes into the trash. Many pesticides and fertilizers contain harmful chemicals that contaminate ground water. If you must use pesticides or fertilizers, use them sparingly or check the ingredients to use ones that are made from all-natural ingredients. Or try making your own pesticides out of organic ingredients like neem oil, Epsom salts, or citrus. Make your own neem oil pesticide by mixing 1 teaspoon (4.9mL) of neem oil with 12 teaspoon (2.5mL) soap and 32 fluid ounces (0.95L) of warm water. To make an Epsom salt spray, dissolve 8 fluid ounces (0.24L) into 5 gallons (19L) of water. Or simply sprinkle Epsom salts around the bases of your plants instead of making a spray. Citrus is especially effective against aphids. To make a citrus spray, grate the rind from 1 lemon and add it to 16 fluid ounces (0.47L) boiling water. Allow this to steep overnight then strain the liquid from the lemon rinds. Check to see if the plants you grow need a fertilizer to thrive in your garden before automatically using them. Stencil a message next to a storm drain, reminding people not to dump waste into a street drain because that water drains to a river. Use simple images like fish, a faucet with water drops, or a person throwing away trash, and include a simple message like "Protect Your Water" or "Drains Directly To Rivers." Get permission to stencil storm drains in your area by contacting your local Department of Public Works. Search your closest city or town along with "Department of Public Works" online to find their phone number and tell them you're interested in doing a storm drain stenciling project. To create the stencils, draw and cut out your design on a piece of paper, then spray paint the design on or near a storm drain. If you are concerned about clean water shortages in your area, contact your elected officials to voice your water concerns and ask that action is taken. The website at https://www.usa.gov/elected-officials directs you to your state and local elected officials like governors, mayors, and county executives within the U.S. To contact officials outside of where you live, search the name of the town, for instance "Flint, MI," along with "ways to help." For contacting elected officials outside the U.S., conduct a google search on "contacting my elected officials" or "who are my government representatives." region. The Environmental Protection Agency oversees environmental issues like clean water protection and accessibility within the U.S. Their website has many resources about clean water issues and allows you to ask them questions. You can also find source water protection coordinators in your area and report environmental law violations that may contribute to decreased clean water through their website. Visit https://www.epa.gov/sourcewaterprotection/forms/contact-us-about-source-water-protection for more information on contacting the EPA about clean water protection.
Summary: Use and dispose of harmful materials properly. Use pesticides and fertilizers only when necessary. Organize a storm drain stenciling project. Call your local elected officials with concerns within your area. Contact the EPA to take action in a specific U.S.

Article: For this method, you will need a clean round container like a coffee can or formula can, balloons, electrical tape or masking tape, and rubber bands (optional). Use your fingers to open the balloon up and expand it so it fits over the top of the can. Do not blow it up, you want to use a limp balloon. Using the scissors, cut small holes into the balloon. They do not need to be uniform or perfect, as they are more for decoration. Double layering the balloons will make the drum more durable, and the holes in top layer will add a fun decorative effect. You can also use rubber bands and simply place them around the can to keep the balloons attached. Or hand them to your little one and let them test them for you. If you'd like to add more weight to the drums, you can fill the container up with a handful of rice or dry lentils before you stretch the balloon on the top of the container. Make drum sticks out of pencils and tissue paper or simply use your hands to drum along to your favorite song.
