Garcia & Ochaoa - April 2020

TAKING A STAND FOR THE When someone starts a position at a new job, one of their first steps is to go through training. Job training not only lets the new worker grow accustomed to the way things are done in the workplace, but it also teaches rules, regulations, and safety measures. When that training is neglected, the results can be disastrous for both the company and its employees. Sadly, a lack of training is exactly what led to our client’s pain and suffering. CASE FACTS: On the day of the incident, the victim went to work just as he’d done countless times before. As he worked, a coworker was operating the company forklift as they unloaded and loaded inventory. However, the driver was carelessly operating the machine, and this negligence resulted in severe injuries to the victim, which led to his hospitalization. Although he was released from hospital care, his injuries continue to cause him severe pain. With the prospect of living the rest of his life with permanent impairment and future mental and physical pain, the victim reached out to us for help. Know Where th

KEEP IT GREEN The Best Eco-Friendly and Kid-Friendly Activities for Earth Day It can be tough to figure out how to switch up family game nights. Kids can be very attached to their electronics, making it hard to get them invested in anything else. With Earth Day coming up this month, you have the perfect excuse to put down the phones and get outside to save the planet. If you’re looking for ways to spend time with your kids on Earth Day, try these eco- friendly family activities! PICK UP TRASH AND MAKE ART WITH IT. You can teach your kids a lot about downcycling and upcycling through recycled art. Downcycling is when waste is recycled to become a new product, but there’s a loss of quality as a result. Upcycling is the opposite: Whatever you recycle becomes a product with a higher value.

One way to upcycle is to create recycled art. Use old newspapers or magazines to create collages or papier-mâché bowl sculptures around balloons, jars, or your own custom shape with chicken wire. You can also use old plastic or glass bottles as beautiful hanging planters or create a memorable wind chime from jar lids, tin cans, plastic silverware, and old rubber bands. PLANT A GARDEN. Gardening is one of the most rewarding ways to spend time outdoors. Your kids can learn about caring for another living thing and grow their own vegetables and fruits! A great way to start is to find out what’s in

season in your area. If you don’t have an outdoor garden, you can pick out some indoor plants or create a hanging garden with recycled bottles!

BUILD A COMPOST SYSTEM. If you have a garden, the next best thing you can do is start composting at home! Did you know that you can compost your cardboard products? Instead of waiting for the recycling truck every other week, you can use your spare green and brown waste to create incredibly nutritious soil for your garden! Green waste includes vegetable and fruit scraps, eggshells, nutshells, coffee grounds, etc. Brown waste includes cardboard, dead leaves, paper egg cartons, wine corks, and more. Get a bin and maintain a green-to-brown ratio of 1-to-2. Layer, water, and turn the compost to keep it healthy. It can take anywhere from two months to a year, depending on what you put in and how often you turn it.

Recently, our team has received many questions and concerns regarding damages done to vehicles. While we aim to support our clients as much as possible, we cannot help anyone in this area unless the driver of the vehicle has been injured. However, we understand that this remains a growing concern in our area and want to help in any way we can.

We hope you and your family have fun with these planet-loving activities! Stay clean!
