The Earth is a beautiful place. It is filled with all kinds of beautiful things, including flowers, green trees, singing birds, rivers and oceans. Oh, and of course the delicious foods that the Earth provides us! See? We are enjoying all the good things the Earth gives us every day. This is why we have to take good care of our Earth!

Reduce the amount of stuff you use and throw away:
When you use less of something, you do a good thing for the Earth. For example, you can save energy by turning off lights you’re not using. And turn off the water when you are brushing your teeth. Don’t forget to unplug the chargers for your phone and MP3 player when you are not using them. Also, when you can, walk or ride your bike instead of using a car. You will use less gas and get some exercise!

Recycle bottles, cans, paper, and books:
You can reduce the amount of trash by recycling plastic bottles, cans, bottles, and paper. Recycled goods go to a recycling center. There, they can be turned into new cans, bottles, and paper.

Reuse stuff when you can:
Many people throw away their old stuff easily and buy new ones. But throwing away usable stuff is no good for the environment. If you don’t need something anymore, why don’t you give it to someone else who needs it? Also, use rechargeable batteries for your MP3 player, cell phone and digital camera.
Choose reusable travel cups instead of disposable cups. When you go to the supermarket, take your own bags instead of using plastic bags. You can also swap your toys, books and even clothes with your friends. It is a way for everyone to get something new without spending any money and without throwing a bunch of stuff away!
