Aim

Clean, Green and Bluish planet Earth

Our main intention is to spread awareness of

Why should we care …..

• It’s the only home we have.

• It grounds us.

• It provides us with food and water.

• It gives us a place to run and play.

• It is a living entity.

How should we care ?

• You can do lots of good things for the earth. Here are ideas to keep in mind.

• Keep Your Neighborhood CleanIf you see trash on the ground, toss it in a trash can.

• Recycle Cans, Bottles, and PaperSave them at home and at school, and help your family recycle them.

• Help Keep the Air CleanRide your bike or walk to school. Too many cars cause a lot of pollution.

How should we care ?.

• Save PaperUse both sides of your paper at school and at home.To clean up messes, use sponges or washable cloths instead of paper towels.

• Help Save WaterDon't leave the water running while you brush your teeth.

• Help Save EnergyTurn off the lights when you leave the room.Turn off the TV when you're finished watching it.Don't leave the refrigerator door open. Get what you want quickly.

You can turn off the lights when you don’t need them!

Suggest that the grown ups who do the

shopping buy energy saving light bulbs.
