 My t-shirt masterpiece Hello, friends! I am Muhammad Imran Mohd. Yusni from Ekhlass International School, Terengganu. I am 7 years old. I am thrilled to be chosen as a BlueHyppo Kidsz Reporter and will gladly share with you my school and neighbourhood activities.
In conjunction with our school’s Earth Day, the EIS Earth Warriors joined forces to clean up the beach, fronting the South China Sea, near our school. We were all dressed in our new Earth Warriors t-shirts. The day before, we had fun painting our own t-shirts and Earth Day banner.
At the beach, we were given work gloves and trash bags. We also used rakes and wheel barrows to clean up the beach.
We combed 1 km. of the beach for trash. There surely were lots of trash! We collected nearly 100kg of trash including fishing gear, glass & plastic bottles, plastic bags, containers, food wrappers, tin cans, polystyrene foam containers, chunks of logs and even syringes. Did you know that these thrash kill thousands of turtles, fish and sea birds? Sea turtles get entangled in discarded fishing nets. Fish and sea birds become poisoned from eating rubbish.
Rubbish also makes the beach less enjoyable for us. I wouldn’t want to have a picnic and swim at a dirty beach. We might also cut ourselves on broken glass and tin cans left on the beach.
After much sweat, we had a great sate picnic. Before leaving the beach, we made sure that we did not leave any trash behind.
 The EIS Earth Warriors Dear friends, please remember to keep our ocean and beaches rubbish-free to save our beloved planet Earth!

May 10 is World Move for Health Day, created by the World Health Organization (WHO) to promote physical well being. If you get easily bored exercising, this new fitness trend — pogo jogging, exported from Asia to Europe and the United States, should keep your interest as it combines jogging and jumping achieved by wearing special boots or stilts that provide rebound bounce.
The Kardashian sisters, renowned celeb-realities and sometime models, were spotted (posed) pogo jogging in South Beach, Miami. Kim Kardashian hasn’t cited pogo jogging as a factor in her weight loss but imagine jogging on a trampoline, referred to as rebounders in the fitness world). According to NASA, rebounding is “the most efficient and effective exercise yet devised by man”.
G-Force Health the maker of Cellerciser ($305.00/€240.28), a rebounder, claims an hour of “the zero-impact workout burns over 700 calories per hour, melts fat, builds muscle and provides a long list of health-building benefits - including improved digestion, sleep, immunity, coordination, sleep and sex!” Their site also explains that rebounding burns calories “11x faster than walking 3x faster than jogging”.
If you prefer to workout outdoors and jog freely, you may want to try pogo jogging, it also touts numerous health benefits and Kangoo Jumps (€199-259), a brand of boots needed for pogo jogging claim “Kangoo Jumps provide all the benefits of ‘Rebound Exercise’” including minimizes impact on joints, protects knee, ankle and spine, fights depression, gives a natural face lift and restores bone and muscle mass.
The Powerisers ($249-359/€156.77-282.64) works similar to Kangoo Jumps but they are for those that want to jump extra high, popular with extreme sport athletes because they aid in jumping “six feet in the air almost effortlessly” and allow you to “run with nine feet strides” at “twenty miles per hour” writes Powerisers.com.
