THINK GLOBAL, ACT LOCAL • ONE OF OUR THEMES IN EARTH CARE IS THINK GLOBAL, ACT LOCAL. • THIS ALLOWS STUDENTS TO DISPLAY IDEAS ABOUT HOW TO SAVE THE EARTH ON A PAPER LEAF THAT IS PLACED ON A TREE WHICH IS ON THE BULLETIN BOARD OUTSIDE OF THE LIBRARY.
WATER FACTS. WATER TAKES UP 97% OF THE EARTH, SO YOU WOULD THINK THAT THERE’S A LOT OF WATER, RIGHT? WRONG. MOST OF IT IS SALT WATER OR HIDDEN FROM USE IN GLACIERS, SO WATER CONSERVATION IS IMPORTANT. WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP. YOU CAN HELP CONSERVE WATER BY DOING ANYTHING FROM TURNING OFF THE TAP WHEN NOT USED, TO NOT PUTTING THE WATER LEVEL AT IT’S HIGHEST WHEN DOING LAUNDRY. EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS. WATER CONSERVATION
TREE HUGGERS • THINK OF ALL THE PAPER THAT YOU USE, IT ALL COMES FROM TREES. • YOU CAN SAVE THE TREES BY NOT WASTING PAPER, WHICH MEANS USE ALL THE SPACE ON YOUR PAGE.
L.O.C.O. • L.O.C.O. MEANS LIGHTS OFF, COMPUTERS OFF. • SO PLEASE TURN THE LIGHTS AND THE COMPUTERS OFF WHEN YOU LEAVE THE ROOM. THIS WILL SAVE A LOT OF ENERGY.
