1. Join or Start a Clean-Up Crew
Grab some gloves, a trash bag, and a couple of friends (with an adult’s help) and clean up your local park, playground, or even your street. Every piece of trash you pick up helps animals and keeps your community looking spotless.
2. Plant Something Green
Trees, flowers, and gardens all help the Earth by cleaning the air and giving food to pollinators like bees and butterflies. You can join a tree-planting day, help out at a community garden, or start a small pollinator garden at home or at school.
3. Be a Recycling Hero
Not all trash belongs in the garbage. You can set up recycling bins at home, school, or sports practice and teach others what goes where. You could also post signs reminding everyone about the importance of recycling!
4. Save Energy and Water
Even small changes, like turning off lights when you leave a room, using a reusable water bottle, and reminding your family to turn off the faucet while brushing teeth, really add up. Challenge your friends to do the same!
5. Use Your Voice
You can be a powerful leader! Write a letter to your school about starting a compost bin, ask your town to add more recycling bins, or create posters about protecting animals. Sometimes one idea can inspire an entire community.
6. Spread the Word
Talk to your friends, classmates, or neighbors about what you’re doing for the Earth. The more people that join in, the bigger the difference you make together!
7. Protect Wildlife
Make a bird feeder, set out a bee hotel, or put up a small dish of water for animals. These little actions help local wildlife feel safe in your community.
8. Create Eco-Friendly Art
Use recycled materials like cardboard, cans, or bottle caps to make creative art projects. See how others are doing it HERE.
9. Reduce Plastic Use
Bring a reusable bag and containers for lunch rather than plastic baggies. Little switches make a big impact.
