I will try to buy goods with little or no packaging. Less packaging, less trash! I will wipe up spills with a sponge or cloth instead of paper towels. I will use the Sunday comics to wrap presents. I will recycle as much trash as I can! I will not leave the refrigerator door open for long periods of time. I will use re-usable containers for my lunch. I will pick up litter! Love My Planet Pledge
The amount of trash people dump on Mother Earth each year is enormous. This causes problems for people, animals, and the environment. Each year people
dump more than 2 billion tons of waste. That’s the weight of about 5,480 Empire State Buildings!
If all this waste was put on trucks, a line of those trucks would go around the world 24 times! This holiday season you can give a gift to your planet by taking the “Love My Planet Pledge.” Sign the Pledge, cut it out and keep it somewhere you can see it everyday. It will help remind you of how you can care for Mother Earth everyday!
