The Halifax Hurricanes 14u softball is on a roll this summer. On July 13th, the Kingston Kannons were no match for the storm the hurricanes can cause. Catherine, Emma, and Kendall all put points on the board. The Hurricanes got the lead with points scored by Thompson and Zoe. Pitcher Katelyn played seven innings, proving her skills with her endurance for a total of ten hits and seven runs. Hurricanes know how to bring the thunder.

The 10u, 12u, and 14u teams of participating towns will compete over the course of three days. There will be awards given out to players over the weekend. To learn more, check out the Halifax Girls Softball on Hurricanes Facebook and Halifax Girls Softball Website

Everything we throw away contributes to polluting the air we breathe and the water we drink! We can minimize the amount of pollution by using a simple method: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle!

Reduce is first. It's the most important! To reduce the waste we produce, we reduce the number of products we purchase. Not only will being mindful of your purchases reduce the amount of waste on our planet, but it will also save you a a lot of money.

Reuse: Another way to help our environment is reusing the items and products that we might have thrown away unconsciously. Instead of tossing that shirt you no longer wear, donate it to someone who would wear it. Instead of purchasing a case of plastic water bottles, invest in a reusable water bottle. They are environment friendly and will keep your beverage cold.

Recycle: Recycling stops our trash from wrecking the environment. You would be surprised by the number of things that can be recycled, from mattresses to batteries; metal scraps to clothing and textiles. The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection provides a search bar on their website where you can type the name of a waste item and it will tell you how to recycle or dispose of it.

The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences explains: "Waste, and how we choose to handle it, affects our world's environment. The environment is everything around you including the air, water, land, plants, and man-made things. The waste we create has to be carefully controlled to be sure that it does not harm your environment and your health." The best way we can help protect our environment and health is to reduce, reuse, and recycle!
