Green Tip of the Week - Buy a Net

This week, we challenge you to take your lunch to school and take the money you save to buy a net. Why? Because for a mere $10 you could actually save someone's life.  Here's the scoop:

For us, mosquitoes are more of an irritant than a threat, but in Africa they can be lethal.  Mosquitoes carry malaria, and while the disease has been eliminated in Europe, the Americas, and many parts of Asia, poor health systems in Africa have made the disease much more prevalent in that part of the world - every 30 seconds a child perishes!  You can help to stop the spread of malaria by purchasing a $10 bed net that has been treated with an insecticide to keep mosquitoes away.  Best of all, a family of four can sleep safely under the net for up to four years!
