Garbage Doesn't Belong Here

Sometimes garbage that gets thrown away can end up in our waterways like rivers, oceans, and lakes. Most of the time it is plastic bottles, containers, and wrapping that ends up in our water. You can help reduce this harmful impact on the environment by limiting how much plastic you use. Start small by planning one week to go plastic free in your home. Some ideas to get started are to bring a reusable water bottle with you, carry a reusable bag when you go shopping, and look for your favorite snacks in bulk. Ask your adult to help you use this toolkit for resources and sharing progress.
