ready, set, go green!

Here are some tips for taking care of our planets plants and animals at home.
1. Grow your own vegetables and flowers in your backyard or in pots.  Plant a tree in your backyard.
2.  Sponsor an endangered animal.
3. Carefully cut up the plastic holders from six-packs of soda before throwing them away.  This way, birds and other animals won't get tangled in them.
4.  If you are out hiking, pick up any trash you see along the trail.  This will help protect the forest habitat, which is home to many plants and animals.  Remember, don't leave anything behind, even food scraps.
5.  Save trees by reducing your use of paper products.  For example, use washable cloths for cleaning and spills instead of paper towels.  Avoid using paper plates and paper napkins whenever possible.  Send e-cards instead of buying paper ones!

Have an eco-friendly day,
