At Home

Can you imagine a world without panda bears or tigers? Well, that can become a reality if we don't do anything to stop it. Help encourage species from becoming threatened and endangered by conserving natural resources that are readily available in your yard and in the yards of others. 

Mow less often

Keeping your lawn tall allows the grass to retain more water and shades the soil from the brutal sun.

Water wisely

You want your lawn to be hydrated, but you don’t want to drown it. Limit watering to three times a week (less if rain is in the forecast).

Puppy mills are large commercial breeding facilities where living conditions for animals are inhumane. Think of it like a factory for animals: dogs are a product made for profit. They are kept in small cages their entire lives in unsanitary conditions without attention, let alone love, and are bred as often as possible. Not surprisingly, this can lead to tons of health problems.

We've all got that shirt or pair of pants that's been collecting dust in the back of our closet. Well good news: you don't really have to part with it. Host a clothing swap with your friends! And if you swap, you can also avoid buying more stuff that requires energy and resources to produce.

Start the party

Arrange somewhere for everyone to meet, preferably a home where there's room for people to try clothes on.

The puppies and kittens in pet store windows are super cute right? Well, for most shops those animals come from puppy mills. The living conditions are inhumane and abusive, but how do you know if a breeder is responsible?

You probably know all about how to green up your home and even your school, but do you know how to make your pet an environmentalist? Check out these ideas:

Spring Cleaning

When your parents make you clean out your house, call your local shelters and ask if they need old towels, bedding, leashes, litter boxes and pet toys. They may even be looking for unused printers and computer monitors.

Water Works

Give your pet filtered tap water instead of bottled to drink. And if you have to use bottled, be sure to recycle.

Spreading awareness about the importance of music education is as easy as "Do-Re-Mi."  Use your already existing music skills to give free lessons to people in your community.

Encourage your family and friends to reduce, reuse, recycle, and recover around the house. We've got some easy tips to help you create a better world and home.

In the kitchen

• Before running your dishwasher, fill it up to consume less energy. Don’t forget to turn off the heat drying option!
• Use eco-friendly plates, pots and pans.
• Stock your fridge since a full fridge consumes less energy than an empty one.
• Shop in bulk to reduce packaging.
• Reuse containers, aluminum foil and packaging.

Living Room

Springtime brings sunshine, flowers, and asthma triggers. Womp. You can do something about this! Get your friends, club, or entire student body together to help eliminate common asthma triggers.
