What to talk about

Talk to your kids
Families can talk about why it's important to plant trees, recycle, drive less, buy environmentally-friendly products, and how they can get involved in saving the planet both at home, at school, and in their communities. How can the small things we do to preserve our environment have significant impact for future generations? Does the media expand our awareness of environmental causes?

Is it any good?

Is it any good?
 
Still in its fledgling stage, there aren't too many reasons to come back to the site frequently. However, with the availability of more Becky Bones merchandise and growing partnerships with other social networking sites popular with teens (all part of the site's mission and goals), the more likely BeckyBones.com is to become a happening destination and cool brand for the teen with a social conscience.

I love Becky Bones
The website is good. It has Becky Bone's story of how she became who she was and the name Becky Bones may sound wierd at first but if you read the story it makes ALOT more sense. I bought the sneakers and they are pricey. $65.00 for sneakers but 25% went to planting trees. They look nice too. I love the Becky Bones company. It's by Osiris Girls. And they make NICE sneakers.
