Our Planet

We can all help make sure our planet is clean. You can do little things every day to take good care of our air, water and land. Talk with your parent or other grown-up about ways you can help keep the Earth clean and green.

Note to parents and caregivers: You can do small things every day to help your family be earth-friendly. Here are a few tips:

Recycle! Young children love to help around the house. Let your child help sort the recycling (with your supervision) and explain why it’s good to reduce, reuse and recycle.
Plant a tree. Planting trees is a fun family activity. Trees absorb carbon dioxide and make our air cleaner.
Take a walk. On your next family outing, think about whether you can walk, bicycle or take a bus. It’s fun to try different modes of transportation, and it saves gas.
Go outside! The more time children spend outside seeing the plants and animals all around us, the more they will understand just how valuable our planet is. Make time to get into nature whenever you can.

Here are some websites to help your family learn more about the environment:
