Look for

Find your very
own re-usable water bottle, put your name on it, and carry it with you everyday.
Encourage your family not to use bottled water if you have safe tap water.
Think of all the energy wasted to make those bottles and transport them to your grocery
store! Not to mention, those bottles do not decompose if thrown
away!
-
Encourage your
parents to carry a reusable shopping bag, and suggest they buy in bulk to minimize
packaging waste. Place your mouse over the picture below to
see where plastic has been
collecting!

Bicycle or walk
to school rather than being driven by your parents (as long as Mom and Dad say it's
safe).
