I take care of the earth because I know I can do little things every day to make a BIG difference.
I use both sides of the paper
and bring my own bags to the market because…
I love the trees
and I want the owls to have a place to live.
I turn off the faucet while I brush my teeth
and use less water for my baths because…
I love the fish and I want the oceans to stay blue.
I take the school bus and ride my bike because…
I love the stars and I want the air to be clear so I can see them sparkle.
I try to eat every bite on my plate
and save my leftovers because…
I love watching things grow and I want there to be enough food for everyone.
I remember to turn off the lights
and shut the refrigerator to save energy because…
I love the polar bears
and I want the snowmen to stay cool.
I throw garbage in the trash can
and recycle glass, aluminum, paper, and plastic because…
I love to walk barefoot in the grass
and I don’t want to move to Mars!
Most of all, I help take care of the earth because…
I want us ALL to be happy and healthy!
