Get your kids ready for back-to-school while saving money
Be sustainable! Save your money AND the planet Back-to-school season is an ideal time for everyone, students, teachers, and parents alike, to benefit from a little decluttering. As the new school year approaches, it's easy to get swept up in the back-to-school shopping frenzy, but what if I told you there's a more thoughtful, sustainable way to prepare? This year, let's save ourselves a trip to Target while also saving the planet! The power of your community One of the best ways to approach back-to-school shopping economically and sustainably is through looking for secondhand goods or hand-me-downs within your community. You might find a local swap meet, an online marketplace, or a school community group where items like uniforms, backpacks, and supplies are available at a fraction of the cost of new. If you are looking for an even more affordable option, you can join your local Buy Nothing group on Facebook and find people in your neighborhood who have supplies to spare! Consider trading unused items you have for things you need. For example, if you have extra binders but need a few more folders, see if another parent is willing to swap! This not only saves money but also reduces waste. The back-to-school sustainability Instead of rushing out to buy brand-new everything, take a step back and consider this challenge: Can you find some of the items your kids need in gently used or secondhand condition? This doesn't just apply to clothing but also to school supplies and other essentials! Start by evaluating what you already have from last year. Take stock of unused notebooks, binders, and even gently worn uniforms. You'd be amazed at what can be reused or repurposed. In many cases, perfectly good items are cast aside in favor of new purchases simply because they're not top-of-mind. Fleeting trends We all see it, daily new trends are always popping up, from the latest water bottle to the colorful pop-it pencil pouches that every child seems to want. It's only natural for kids to want what they see their peers using, and it's okay to let kids indulge in a trend or two to keep them excited about the new school year. However, instead of splurging on every trendy item, consider setting a limit. Perhaps choosing just one or two must-have items. This approach allows you to strike a balance between being budget-conscious and letting your child enjoy a touch of newness. By focusing on a few trendy items, you can maintain their enthusiasm without stretching your budget or contributing to excessive waste. Declutter and donate Before you start outsourcing your school needs, take 30 minutes this weekend to declutter. Check closets, drawers, storage bins, and even the backpack you haven't opened since June. You might find a pack of pencils lodged in the back of the closet, or an unused notebook that fell behind the couch at the beginning of last school year. Even if you have already purchased new supplies, decluttering can uncover valuable items that might be perfect for someone else! Remember, what may seem old or outgrown to you could be a treasure to another family. For instance, a child's quickly outgrown uniform could be just what another parent is looking for. Consider donating these items to local schools, charities, or community centers. There are smart ways to donate! This back-to-school season, take the opportunity to declutter and rethink your shopping habits By focusing on gently used or secondhand items, participating in community trades, and reassessing what you already own, you can save money, reduce waste, and support others in the process. Here's to a more sustainable and organized school year! Solve the daily Crossword

Philadelphia honors veterans at Vet Fest after workers strike, extreme heat force delays
Hundreds of veterans and their families gathered outside City Hall on Tuesday for the city's 13th annual Vet Fest — a celebration and resource fair designed to support Philadelphia-area veterans in their transition to civilian life. The event, hosted by City Council President Kenyatta Johnson, the Office of Veterans Affairs, and Wawa Welcome America, was originally supposed to take place during the July celebration. However, it was postponed twice – first due to extreme heat, then the city worker strike. It returned Tuesday with live performances, recognition ceremonies, and more than 30 organizations offering services ranging from housing assistance and healthcare access to job placement and educational resources. "Taking your military career and transitioning it into civilian world is what a lot of my fellow veterans have a struggle doing," said Army veteran Thomas Long, who now serves as director of Veteran Biz Connect, which had a booth at the event. "So we like to help them do that in the areas that they want to achieve and succeed and move forward." Throughout the day, city officials handed out brand-new bicycles to veterans and their families, while volunteers distributed flyers and contact information for local service providers. The event also included an official recognition ceremony, where dozens of veterans were honored with medals and City Council citations. Among those recognized was Kat Kirkman, a U.S. Air Force veteran who now works to help other veterans secure employment and housing. "I'm very fortunate to do what I'm passionate about, working for veterans, both in my day job and in my volunteer time," Kirkman said. For many, the event was about more than just connecting with services. "I come here and I get flyers and contact information that can help me in my mission to get housing for homeless veterans," said Army veteran Thomas Singleton. Others highlighted the importance of community and camaraderie. "Even if it's just to be in one another's presence, to be able to talk, to think about the past, to relive it, because for some of us, that is what keeps us moving forward," said Army veteran Shanda Taylor-Boyd, who also sang at the event. According to city officials, more than 64,000 veterans live in the Philadelphia region.

Atlanta Airport's Ceiling Collapses, Releasing Foul-Smelling Liquid
Eyewitnesses captured video footage of what appears to be brown sewage water raining down before the ceiling collapsedNEED TO KNOW Eyewitnesses captured video footage inside Atlanta's airport of what appears to be brown sewage water raining down from the ceiling Jamaal Carlos Jr. told local outlet 11 Alive despite the fluids, travelers continued to walk through the water to reach their gates Earlier this year, another "odor" sent airline and airport employees to the hospitalVideo footage captured inside America's busiest airport shows what appears to be brown sewage water raining down from the ceiling. 'As we're waiting, we see water just pouring from the ceiling. It had been pouring consistently for maybe 10-15 seconds,' eyewitness Jamaal Carlos Jr., who captured video of the event at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on Aug. 4, told local news outlet 11 Alive. 'And it just progressively got worse. The ceiling fell through and it stinks really bad.' According to Carlos, it took airport employees five to 10 minutes to respond and clean up the spill. Despite the fluids, some travelers didn't even bat an eye. 'Even after it poured... I thought they would get buckets or do something, but people were walking through it," he said. Eventually, airport crews roped off the area with yellow caution tape and forced passengers to take alternate paths around the airport. "Airport personnel had to come and re-route everyone to take a different route. It's crazy. So, they moved our gate... we were just so close to it. So they moved us a little bit further, but you can still smell it two or three gates down," Carlos added. Carlos said he saw more debris continue to fall from the ceiling, but eventually the water stopped. "Following yesterday's ceiling leak near Gate T11, cleanup and sanitization of the affected area have been completed, and normal operations have resumed," a representative for the airport shared in a statement with PEOPLE. They added: "The exact cause is still under investigation. Throughout the response, customer service representatives assisted in redirecting passengers, and there was no impact to overall airport operations.'

Earlier this year, multiple people at Charlotte Douglas International Airport in North Carolina were hospitalized with 'inhalation symptoms' following an 'odor' emitting from an aircraft. On June 27, airline and airport employees were transported to local hospitals for "inhalation symptoms of an unknown substance from an aircraft,' Mecklenburg Emergency Medical Services confirmed in a statement to PEOPLE. Seven individuals had 'minor injuries' and were in stable condition. An American Airlines representative told PEOPLE that 'an odor was reported' on the flight 'prior to customers boarding.' "Crew members received medical attention on site and were transported to a nearby hospital where they were evaluated and released," the spokesperson continued. "The aircraft was taken out of service to be inspected by our maintenance team." According to the American Airlines website, the flight to Los Angeles was 'canceled.'
