1
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 1: Hey, Lingo Kids listeners, Today is a very important day

2
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 1: it is Is it your birthday? No, it's not my birthday, Elliott,

3
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: but we are celebrating life, the life of our planet

4
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 1: birth right. Today is April twenty second Birthday.

5
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:24,599
Speaker 2: I knew that.

6
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: Welcome to Stories for Kids by Lingo Kids, where we

7
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 1: discover fascinating facts about the world around us and the

8
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:37,560
Speaker 1: fun of play learning. Today we will talk about Earth

9
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 1: Day and we'll meet a kid here, Ryan Hickman, who

10
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: has collected and recycled millions of bottles and cans to

11
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 1: keep the planet clean and save wildlife. The theme for

12
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three is invest in our planet.

13
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 2: We have to wear a vest.

14
00:00:54,920 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: Oh not a vest, COWI invest. It means to put

15
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: time and energy into doing good things for the planet

16
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: so we all benefit.

17
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 3: When I do good things, it makes me smile and

18
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 3: feel warm inside.

19
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: When we do good things for the Earth, we get

20
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: clean air and water, healthy food, and lots of beautiful

21
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: places to enjoy in return. Today we're cleaning the beach. Yeah,

22
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 1: I see trash on the beach too, Billy, it's not

23
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,680
Speaker 1: a very nice sight. We're joining our Earth Day friend,

24
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: Ryan Hickman to clean up this beach. He's a pro

25
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: and has collected and recycled trash since he was three

26
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: years old. I'm glad to see he has a big

27
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: group of volunteers. Volunteers are people who do some work

28
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: for free to help. So we're volunteers too. Where should

29
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: we start? I bet Ryan has a plan. Let's ask him. Okay, Hi, Ryan,

30
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: the Lingo Kids team is ready to health.

31
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 2: Great.

32
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 3: You'll need gloves to keep your hands safe and clean,

33
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 3: and a trash grabber.

34
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 2: It's like like a mechanical arm.

35
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 3: It's like a gripper like at the where you hold it,

36
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 3: and then it closes the prongs at the bottom, and

37
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 3: that will help you up trash while keeping your hands

38
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 3: clean at the same time.

39
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: Awesome.

40
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 3: Some trash can be your cycle, like paper, glass, metal,

41
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 3: and some plastics.

42
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 2: Lots of things can be recycled.

43
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 3: It's really easy to recycle though, but also some things

44
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 3: cannot be recycled too. Let's say you have a piece

45
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 3: of trash that you think to be cycled but it's not,

46
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 3: and you throw it under cycle bin or you aren't

47
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,959
Speaker 3: sure that could contaminate whole load, and then the whole

48
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 3: truck blackload is a landfill.

49
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 2: So what I say is one in doubt, throw it out.

50
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 3: So that's why different colored binds are set up all

51
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 3: over the beach.

52
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 1: Very observant, Elliott. Each has a special color and a

53
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 1: drawing to show what goes where.

54
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 2: Easy peace.

55
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 3: Stuff that can't be your cycle goes in a trash bag.

56
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 3: If you need help, we're have any questions, just shout.

57
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:12,399
Speaker 1: Thanks, Ryan, Ready, everyone ready, ready. Oh wow, these plastic

58
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: bottles are tangled up in seaweed. Oh help you poured

59
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: them out, thanks Callie into the plastic bin. Wow, Elliott,

60
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: you already gathered an armful of aluminum cans.

61
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 2: I like to crush them with my foot watch. It

62
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 2: saves room in the recycling bin.

63
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: Good thinking. Aluminum cans are one hundred recyclable and can

64
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: be made into new cans over and over. One recycled

65
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,559
Speaker 1: aluminum can can save enough energy to run a television

66
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: for three hours. Cool, good eye, Billy. Broken glass in

67
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: the sand is dangerous. I'll use my grabber and drop

68
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: the piece is in a bin.

69
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 2: Hey, Ryan, what's this? It's not paper, is it? That's styrofoam.

70
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 2: It can't be recycled.

71
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 3: It breaks down super small pieces which cannot be recycled.

72
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 3: I do think it affects sea life, like animals eat it.

73
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 3: It eats food, they could get sick and die because

74
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 3: of how small it breaks up. We live five minutes

75
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 3: right from the beach. We just did a beach salt

76
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 3: last night because it rained like nights ago. It was

77
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 3: so much styrofoam on the beach. So the easiest and

78
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 3: the most efficient way dispose.

79
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 2: Of it is trash.

80
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 3: But I know some there are a few collection places

81
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 3: that will accept it back, but in your curbside recycling

82
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 3: bin they do not accept that.

83
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 2: So that goes in the trash.

84
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: The beach is quickly cleaning up. It's fun when friends help. Ryan.

85
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: What do you do with the recycled items you collect?

86
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 3: So after I collect on my recycling, I take it

87
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 3: through recycle center and here in California, you get a

88
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 3: little money to bodily. So all that money goes to

89
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 3: my college count I do sell hats and jackets and

90
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 3: T shirts stuff, and all that money it either goes

91
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 3: back to my nonprofit project, the Three art or to

92
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 3: the Specific Marine Mammal Center in Laguna Beach, California, and

93
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 3: their rescue sick and injured seals and sea lions and

94
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:18,799
Speaker 3: they help them get better.

95
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 2: So we're helping dolphins and sea turtles.

96
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 1: Look how nice the beach looks now Yep, it's as

97
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: nature intended. The only things left on the beach are seashells, seaweed,

98
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,359
Speaker 1: and footprints, and it was easier to do.

99
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 2: Thanks for letting me help you guys with your birthday project.

100
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: It was our pleasure. Ryan. Thanks for all that you

101
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: do to keep our planet healthy and happy. Yeah, it's

102
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: important to set aside a special day to help the planet,

103
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: but when you really think about it, every day is

104
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 1: Earth Day. Lingo Kids listeners. Let's invest in our planet

105
00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: each and every day so we can enjoy being outside

106
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 1: and help the plants and animals.

107
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 2: Can we celebrate with a group?

108
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 1: Ug? Sure, Elliot, come closer everyone, You too, Ryan? Happy

109
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: Earth Day everyone, Lingo Kids listeners. We had a great

110
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: time today helping Ryan clean up the beach for Earth Day.

111
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: We learned that paper, glass, metal, and some plastic can

112
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: be recycled. Lingo Kids listeners, does litter make you feel sad?

113
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: If so, you can organize your own clean up day.

114
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: Clean up a park or the playground, get some grown

115
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: ups to help take photos and share them with us

116
