Summarize the following:
You may not have time to play every day with your children, but especially if your family is new to spending time outdoors it will help your kids to know their parents are actively involved. Short hikes, excursions to the local park, and geocaching are all family-friendly activities that help your kids understand that spending time outdoors isn't only healthy, it's fun! If you live in a safe, walkable neighborhood, encourage your kids (and yourself!) to get exercise by walking to places like the library or school. The National Wildlife Federation recommends that you provide a daily "Green Hour" for your children: one hour daily of unstructured outdoor play. Make this time a part of your children's daily schedule. It may not be easy at first, but creating the expectation that your kids will spend one hour every day playing outdoors will help them see it not as a punishment but part of their normal routine. Be consistent. It may take your children awhile to get used to the idea of living without their cellphones and video games for an hour or two, but be patient and be consistent with them. Engage your kids in conversation about what they did outdoors and ask what they liked best. This will show them that you're interested in their activities (and help you make sure they're staying active and staying safe!). Your children may not want to go outdoors initially, particularly if it hasn't been part of their lifestyle before. You may need to be firm with them in enforcing a "Green Hour," especially at first. Make it clear that this is part of their schedule, and don't give in to complaints. If your children are reluctant to play outdoors, you could try motivating outdoor play by offering a trade: if they spend an hour playing outside, they can earn some TV or video game time. The more they play outdoors, the more likely they are to discover they actually enjoy it! If the neighborhood is safe for walking or biking, send your kids on an errand. Having a specific goal to achieve may help them get used to spending time outdoors and will give them a feeling of accomplishment. Create challenges. Get your kids outdoors by giving them specific challenges, such as a scavenger hunt or "Survivor"-themed games like a relay race or balance activity. This type of structure will help them figure out how to play outdoors. Adding a reward, such as media time or release from chores, will make your kids even more motivated to head outdoors. If your kids play outdoors, they will probably end up sweaty and dirty, and they need to know that that's okay. In fact, studies suggest that getting dirty can strengthen children's immune systems! Give them some "play clothes" that it's all right to get filthy, and teach them how to clean up after themselves. If your kids have spent more time with a Playstation than a playhouse, they not even be sure of what their options for outdoor entertainment are. Teaching them how to do things like make daisy chains, jump rope, build snow forts, and collect fireflies will help them see the outdoors as full of fun possibilities in every season. Many nature organizations have websites with lists of activities. You can find a variety of fun ideas just by doing a few quick searches. You may also want to look for local classes to learn new skills at nature centers, museums, after-school projects, community centers, and more.

summary: Model good outdoor behavior. Establish ground rules. Expect some resistance. Accept the mess. Teach your kids things to do outdoors.

Get three apples, pears, balls or anything that you can toss around. Once you mastered juggling three of them, try going onto four. Mix in new patterns by throwing from behind your back or under your leg. Board games can be a great way to bond with other people. People who are successful in games like Chess and Go are typically considered highly intelligent. Mastery of these games can be a useful skill. There is a huge market in new board games, so you can always find something new. A deck of cards can be turned to a nearly infinite number of games. Consider games like Slapjack, Crazy Eights, and Play or Pay. Don't forget classics like Blackjack or Poker. Solitaire is unique in that it is one of the few games that you can play by yourself. All you need is a deck of cards and an understanding of the rules. Try hide and go seek, kick ball, jump rope, I-spy, or tag. Try shooting some hoops or tossing around a baseball. This can be a good way to make friends, get fit, and practice some skills that will be useful in gym. If you are bored with your games, try something new. Consider adapting a game you play often. If you like hide and go seek, try to reverse it by having everyone search for one person. The person who catches him wins. Try drawing with a piece of chalk. See what you come up with. Leave inspirational messages on the pavement.

summary: Practice juggling. Play board games. Play card games. Play Solitaire. Play a game outside.

While most places around the world require that disposable diapers be placed in regular waste bins bound for the landfill, some cities are attempting to reduce diaper waste by providing compost service. In Toronto, for example, you can dump your dirty nappiesalong with cat litter and pet wasteinto a separate bin that goes to the city compost facility. Be sure to read guidelines carefully to make sure composting services accept diapers. Portland, for example, runs a composting program that collects food scraps and other organic waste, but it does not accept diapers. If you have a back yard and a pre-existing compost heap, you can probably do your own dirty diaper compost. If not, consider hiring a compost service that will do the dirty work for you. These services pick up your diapers, take them to a large composting facility, and process the waste. Just make sure that you don't dump your diaper waste into a food garden compost pile. Only put bacteria-laden diaper waste into a compost pile you use for flowers, shrubs, and other vegetation not intended for human consumption. Composting is a great way to reduce diaper waste, but you should only do so with urine-soaked diapers. Professional, large-scale composting facilities can accept both forms of waste because they can reach the high temperatures needed to destroy constituent bacteria, but your home compost pile cannot. Throw out the diapers containing solid waste in the usual fashion. Once you've accumulated two or three days worth of wet diapers, put on some gloves and take the pile out to your compost heap. Hold each diaper above the heap and tear it open, starting on the side that would have been worn on your baby's front side. The filling is fully compostable and most often made of sodium polyacrylate and wood pulp, also known as cellulose. The rest of the diaper's lining, plastic, and paper is not compostable. Set it aside and dispose of it with your other diapers containing solid waste. Using a shovel or long hoe, distribute the filling around the heap so that it's not all lumped in one place. Mix it into the top layer of pre-existing compost so that the fibers will begin to break down. A successful compost pile will break down constituent materials while producing minimal odors. In order to make sure that your diaper filling begins to break down as quickly as possible, layer about half an inch of soil or lower-layer compost on top of it. If you do this correctly, you should see visible results within a month.
summary: Check out local laws and services available in your area. Evaluate your resources to compost at home. Sort wet diapers from those with solid waste. Rip open the diaper so that the filling falls out. Mix the newly dumped filling into your compost heap. Cover any visible diaper filling with soil or compost.
