00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 3: There's too many things for parents to do. No child

13
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 3: will not Many kids naturally have orange clothing, So you've

14
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 3: got to go and buy something that listened it up

15
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 3: in landfill. It's a wonderful idea. That is this a

16
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,360

00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 4: thought of as a day when we think about everyone else,

19
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 4: not just one specific day.

Speaker 1: orange outfeet, which you could probably see from the moon

24
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 1: so if I wasn't working in childcare, I probably wouldn't

25
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: give it a second thought. But as I do, Yeah,
