Earth Day, Think Green, Toledo Public Schools, Tax Revenue, Toledo Ohio

Industry Observer with Retired Realtor

Earth Day was April 22nd, and I must admit I did not do anything special for the day. 

Maybe, it’s  because we should not single it out as a one day holiday. On New Years, we have a celebration, make a resolution, and break that promise in a very short period of time.

My wife Debbie is a Toledo Public School teacher.  She is a very smart lady.  Just ask her , she'll tell you.  Last night,  she brought up a very interesting comment that would make a major a major impact on the school district where she works and the environment.   Toledo Public Schools should go to a four day school week.  You would save on utility costs and transportation costs without effecting the education of the students. This reduction in school costs would have a direct correlation to the amount of tax revenue needed to run the schools.  It's a win / win situation.

I wonder how many other school districts, professions and businesses could run more effectively if they operated on a 4 Day Work Week?  Not only would we be saving the environment , but people would have more time to relax and spend time with their family.

Let's see what is out my front door.

Andrew,

Yes, the Mud Hens are alive and doing very well (www.MudHens.com).  However, a new venue in Downtown Toledo was built for them just a few years ago.  Fifth Third Field is a great venue for the entire family.  No longer do the people in the cheap seats along the 1st base and third base line have a problem hearing the announcer.  I did happen to drive past the old ball park last year and the large speaker in center field was still there.

My daughter just graduated from BGSU ( www.bgsu.edu).  She is now a teacher for Toledo Public Schools. The university has really grown.  Saturday was the Spring Football Game between the Orange and Brown.  The Brown team came back in the fourth quarter to win it.

I wonder why Active Rain will not allow us to put links in our response.  It would make it a lot easier for you to check out the Mud Hens and BGSU.

Have a good day.
