• 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.
