- Create a chart for your child of all the things he or she can do each week to keep the planet green and to conserve resources
- Put a green crayon check next to each item if your child does it
- At the end of the week, count up how many things your child did to help the environment
Here are some items to put on the chart:
- Putting out lights when not in use
- Not letting water run when brushing teeth
- Trying not to waste paper
- Helping to recycle plastic, glass and newspaper
- Keeping the neighborhood clean by picking up trash (be sure your child wears gloves to do this and washes hands carefully when finished)
