The Blue Marble: Earth
You can do lots of good things for the earth. Here are ideas to keep in mind.

  • Keep Your Neighborhood Clean
    If you see trash on the ground, toss it in a trash can.


  • Recycle Cans, Bottles, and Paper
    Save them at home and at school, and help your family recycle them.


  • Help Keep the Air Clean
    Ride your bike or walk to school. Too many cars cause a lot of pollution.


  • Save Paper
    Use both sides of your paper at school and at home.
    To clean up messes, use sponges or washable cloths instead of paper towels.


  • Help Save Water
    Don't leave the water running while you brush your teeth.
