Youth Take 10 for the Environment
1. Use a reusable lunch bag.
2. Don't buy "stuff" with lots of packaging.
3. Reduce our idle time. Talk to parents and friends about turning off
the car when waiting in lines.
4. Know the air quality forecast. Bus, carpool, walk or ride a bike to
school on bad air quality days.
5. Turn off the faucet when brushing my teeth.
6. Scoop the poop, don’t leave it on the ground.
7. Plant trees at home and school.
8. Pick up litter that I see.
9. Defeat the energy vampires by turning off lights, TVs and video
games when leaving the room
10. Keep it closed. Close doors to our homes, refrigerators and ovens.
Heat/air conditioners won’t have to work so hard to heat and cool my
home, and my appliances won’t have to work so hard to do their
jobs!
