is for animals

When we take care of our planet by recycling, reducing, or reusing things we might just throw in the garbage, the animals we know and love benefit from us protecting their habitats!

One way we can protecting our Earth is by reducing how much we use cars/buses as forms of transportation. 

If we ride our bicycle, we can reduce emissions in the air, get exercise, and get outside!

Composting food scraps like apple cores, banana peels, and even egg shells helps make fertile soil that can help plants grow! We can reduce food waste and reuse our scraps to give back to the Earth!

If you no longer have use for something, donate it! It gives your items a chance to be reused by someone else.

Conserve your energy! Turn off your lights when you're not in a room, unplug chargers or chords, and turning off power strips are all great ways to reduce and conserve energy!

When you're done eating or cooking a meal, put your food scraps in the compost! This way, we can reduce food waste and trash that enters landfills.

Have some yard space, or even space on your front porch? Plant your own fruits and vegetables to add fresh foods to your meals!
