Earth Helpers
Take Care of Earth
People work together to help our planet.
April 22 is Earth Day! That day reminds people to take care of our
planet.
Many kids and adults will take part in the Great American Cleanup.
It is held
each year from March 1 to May 31.
Here are some ways people can help.
Clean Up Litter
People will clean up beaches and parks this year. They will pick
up litter, or
trash. Animals can mistake litter for food and choke on it. In
2014,
volunteers for the Great American Cleanup collected more than 37
million
pounds of litter and debris.
Plant a Tree
Many people will plant trees. Volunteers planted more than 41,000
trees in
2014. Trees are very important. They help clean the air. They also
give off a
gas called oxygen. People and animals need oxygen to live.
Recycle
People will recycle paper, bottles, and cans. When
something is recycled, it
is made into something new. Volunteers collected more than 250
million
pounds of items to be used for recycling or reusing in 2014. Many
of these
items were bottles, which a company used to make backpacks for
kids.
A few years ago, the bottles were made into fleece jackets. Those
jackets
were given to kids who didn't have enough warm clothing. "It
is wonderful to
turn plastic bottles into something fantastic," says
Cunningham.
