Kids can make a difference everyday-- and so can their parents and teachers -- if we all work together.
Kids can start making a difference at home:
Start by shutting off that TV! Get kids to go play outside-- then their fun is powered by their own energy! ( grab that bike helmet if their bike riding!)
Make sure they put trash in the right place- It's important kids don't get into the bad habit of tossing things out the car window--or just dropping it when their done. Also make sure to let them know what things can be recycled and where to put it.
Use rechargable batteries! You can use them over and over again.
Make sure to check their work BEFORE they print--
