Christmas Around the World

Thu, 22 Dec 2011 16:56:51 GMT

Christmas celebrations around the world It is interesting to see how different countries celebrate Christmas. We asked some of our friends to explain what happens in their countries. This is what they told us: Belgium On the sixth of December Sinterklaas or Saint-Nicholas is celebrated, which is an entirely different holiday from Christmas. Santa Claus in Belgium is called de Kerstman or le Père Noël and he does come around on Christmas day to bring children presents. There are different cultures in Belgium, the Northern part being Vlaanderen (speaking a Dutch dialect), the Southern part being Wallonie (speaking a French dialect) and the Eastern part speaking German. Small family presents are given at Christmas too, under the tree, or in stockings near the fire-place, to be found in the morning. Christmas breakfast is a special sweet...

How FDR Changed Thanksgiving

Wed, 23 Nov 2011 20:14:35 GMT

Jennifer Rosenberg U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt had a lot to think about in 1939. The world had been suffering from the Great Depression for a decade and the Second World War had just erupted in Europe. On top of that, the U.S.economy continued to look bleak. So when U.S.retailers begged him to move Thanksgiving up a week to increase the shopping days before Christmas, he agreed. He probably considered it a small change; however, when FDR issued his Thanksgiving Proclamation with the new date, there was an uproar throughout the country. The First Thanksgiving As most schoolchildren know, the history of Thanksgiving began when Pilgrims and Native Americans gathered together to celebrate a successful harvest. The first Thanksgiving was held in the fall of 1621, sometime between September 21 and November 11, and was a three-day feast. The Pilgrims were joined by approximately 90 of the local Wampanoag tribe, including Chief Massasoit,...

Economic and Enviromental Effects of Green Roofs

Wed, 20 Jan 2010 13:11:45 GMT

The environmental and economical benefits of green roofs Clint Skog Hundreds of years ago there was an abundance of open grassland that used to catch the rainwater and filter out the pollutants, but now a majority of those grasslands have been replaced by cities and buildings. The rain water that falls on the buildings just falls onto the ground unfiltered and runs off into our watersheds. One of the most environmental friendly things we can do to help with excessive runoff and watershed pollution is the idea of green roofs. The main idea behind green roofs are that the plants and their growing media hold most or all of the rainwater that normally would run off the roofs and have to be carried away by storm water drains and ditches. Storm water tends to pick up excess lawn chemicals, dirt and debris that are carried into streams, lakes and other surface water sources. Fast-flowing storm water can cause erosion and flooding. Studies have found that a typical one story building...
