EVERYONE CAN MAKE A
CONTRIBUTION TO ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION
Taking care of the Earth is like taking care of your own room or toys. We need to make sure we don't make a mess and clean up after
ourselves. We can turn of the lights when we're not using them and save water by not letting it run while we brush our teeth. We
can also recycle and put our trash in the right bin. When we take care of the Earth, we help keep it healthy and beautiful for
everyone to enjoy!
