This week I was searching google for kids that help the environment. I ended up finding a lot of groups and people that are trying to help the environment! Just like my friends and me.
My friends and I are trying to get people to use reuseable bags rather than plastic. Plastic bags create pollution and they also kill animals. Plastic bags fly around and land in random places. So maybe YOU can help us get rid of placstic bags!
Here's what some other kids are doing!
Ben Workinger - age 8: Monarch Butterfly Safe Haven
Ben was reading a article about decreasing numbers of migrating Monarch butterflies, he got interested in helping them. Monarch butterflies are vulnerable to extreme weather changes. Ben's school turned their garden in a habitat for Monarch butterflies. Ben and his school plan to keep this new garden for as long as they can. http://www.actionfornature.org/eco-hero/EcoHeroAwardsWinners2008.html
Colin Carlson - age 11: The Cool Coventry Club
Colin noticed climate change firsthand on a trip to Galapogas Islands, Colin got concerned about the climate. After viewing Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth, Colin decided to "think globally and act locally." Then he made the Cool Conventry Club(CCC). Colin has organized 25 CCC events in 10 towns! http://webpages.charter.net/cool_coventry_club/home.htm
