World Environment Day

On this day, think about your world and the health of the planet.

What do you do everyday to help take care of the planet?

• Do you recycle?
• Do you compost?
• Do you plant a garden?
• Do you grow flowers for butterflies and bees?
• Do you use water-saving appliances?
• Do you re-use cloth bags for shopping?
• Do you turn off lights when you leave a room?
• Do you give away or re-sell things instead of throwing them out?

Have you been harming the planet without realizing it?

• Do you throw garbage on the ground, no matter how small?
• Do you throw cigarette butts on the ground?
• Do you flush chemicals and other pollutants down the toilet?
• Do you leave your vehicle running excessively like at drive-throughs?
• Do you throw garbage into lakes and rivers?
• Do you use products that contain microbeads?
• Do you leave taps running when you don’t really need the water?

If you can think of a way that you can change a bad habit or make a commitment to doing something good for the planet, Tuesday, June 5th is a great day to start!
