I t 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 KEEP IT GREEN

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
Hernia Mesh Manufacturers Announce $1.8 Billion Settlement
Hernia mesh lawsuits have become well known across the nation as patients demand action, accountability, and compensation for their pain and suffering and lost wages. In late 2018, the Swiss company Getinge AB set aside about $1.8 billion in U.S. currency to cover the costs of ongoing cases, which continued to mount as of late 2019. DrugWatch.com estimated the number of new cases in 2019 to be in the thousands. While the number of people seeking justice continues to grow, we at Schiller & Hamilton Law Firm want to ensure every patient who has suffered at the hands of greed from these companies gets the compensation they deserve. If you have sustained further injuries or incurred extra costs as the result of your hernia mesh surgery, now is the time to join us as we fight for compensation. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), problems with hernia mesh have occurred when the mesh has become loose or dissolves too quickly, causing chronic pain, additional hospital stays, and lost work. Among the varying side effects, many patients have reported the following issues:
•
Chronic pain at the surgical site or in their limbs
•
Mesh failure or shifting
•
Inflammation or fluid buildup
•
Infection
•
Additional hernias or surgeries
•
Bowel obstruction
•
Fistulae, which are tunnels that connect otherwise separated parts of the body
•
Adhesions
This announcement comes on the heels of many companies recalling products and dolling out multimillion-dollar settlements. Other cases are slated to begin in late winter and early spring.
