A new age of environmental awareness for the 21st-century is being mandated. Join the Earth Kids by becoming an environmental superhero.
Earth is our home. It’s our responsibility to protect the environment.
Why should I become an environmental Superhero?
- All living creatures should have CLEAN AIR to breathe, CLEAN WATER that’s safe to drink and CLEAN SOIL for plants, animals, and people to thrive for a healthy life.
- Pollution can impact our health and make us sick. Some pollutants cause asthma, learning disabilities, cancer, birth defects and extinction for some species.
- All the exercise and healthy foods will not prevent you from diseases and illnesses if you drink polluted water and breathe polluted air.
- A clean environment is necessary for our survival and future well-being.
Environmental Superheroes want to keep:
- Earth beautiful.
- Pollution out of our air, water, and soil.
- Plastic waste and garbage out of our oceans, off our beaches, and from littering our neighborhoods.
- Toxic air emissions from polluting our air and becoming unhealthful brown smog.
- Reducing the generation of waste and trash to prevent landfills from covering the planet.
- Trash off the ground and out of waterways.
- Pollution from contaminating our food.
Environmental Superheroes care about:
- CLIMATE CHANGE
- Climate change is a global issue that impacts life on Earth.
- BIODIVERSITY
- Earth’s plants, animals, insects, and microbes are important and must be protected.
- ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE
- No community should suffer from the negative environmental impacts caused by pollution.
- We want all communities to stay healthy.
- ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY
- We want the environmental quality for life now, and for future generations to be good.
- We believe in making choices and selecting products that do not deplete or degrade our natural resources nor pollute the environment.
How can I become an environmental Superhero?
I want to be like Sandy Soil
Sandy Soils says, “We have relied too long on landfills and need to reduce the trash we generate.”
Sandy Soil wants to keep Earth’s neighborhoods, parks, trails, sidewalks, and streets free from trash and pollution.
I Want to Be Like Rainey Water
Rainey Water says. “To prevent a shortage of clean water in the future, we need to protect our water supply and conserve water.”
Rainey Water wants to keep Earth’s oceans, lakes, rivers, streams, and aquifers free from trash and pollution. Clean safe water is a human right. There are too many communities whose water is unsafe to drink.
I want to be like Wendy Air
Wendy Air says, “We need to keep our air clean and safe to breathe. Let’s work together to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, such as carbon dioxide. They contribute to global warming and climate change.”
Wendy Air wants to keep Earth’s air free from pollution. Air pollution not only causes illnesses, but kills people, animals, and plants. Clean air is a human right. Currently, many communities have poor air quality that causes health issues for both young and older people.
Why pollution continues to create problems
- People feeling overwhelmed with other priorities is a big challenge for environmental champions.
- Lack of Awareness often implies people don’t bother to learn about the pollution that exists in their community.
- People take action when they learn how pollution impacts the health and well-being of their family, friends, and neighborhoods.
Teach Others
- Never let an opportunity to teach people about the environment pass you by.
- Share environmental books you read or know about with friends and family
- Teach, Teach, Teach
- ACT, ACT, ACT
