Don't be a drip!

Not that long ago, we could drink out of our rivers and streams. Now the water has to be processed to get rid of garbage and bacteria that can make us sick.

• Don't keep the faucet on when you brush your teeth.
• DID YOU KNOW that Leaving the water running just 3 minutes can use up to 1 quart of drinking water?
• DID YOU KNOW that leaky or improperly turned off faucets can use up even more!
• You can help just by checking to make sure the faucet is completely turned off each time you use it!
• If it still drips, tell your parents so they can fix it.

Smog is a burning issue

Smog contributes to 'global warming' which is the result of 'climate change.'

Breathe easy!

One of the things we take for granted is the air we breathe. Many of the things we do release harmful gases, dust and dirt into the atmosphere making it hard for us and the other creatures we share the world to breathe.

• When less harmful gasses are released into our air we have more sun and better air to breathe.
  
  
• Walking doesn't use gas and it is great exercise, too!

• If we ride in the same car with our friends, we call it "carpooling".

It's cool to carpool!

• By carpooling or taking public transportation less carbon monoxide and greenhouse gases are released into our air.

What's the fuss-Take a bus!

• If it's available, you and your friends can take public transportation to many fun and necessary places

Be Planetpals together!

• It's more fun to go places with friends and its better for our planet!
