Summer is winding down, and many of you have been busy protecting animals and plants from pollution through our ‘Stash the Trash’ and ‘Shoreline Saver’ Missions.
In Ontario alone, you completed an impressive 1,816 Stash the Trash Missions, and 1,554 Shoreline Saver Missions, totaling an amazing 3,370 earth-saving Missions.
Whether you celebrated Ontario’s Litter Month or stayed dedicated all summer long, your hard work has made a big difference for the environment, and has earned you DOUBLE the points for completing these missions.
Curious about what fellow Earth Rangers had to say?
“I want them [animals] to be safe and I want the plants to grow because if there’s a lot of pollution the animals and plants can die.” – Earth Ranger Sophia
Earth Ranger Sophia took action by cleaning up trash from her yard and neighborhood. She found that wrappers were the most common type of litter, and with many animals living nearby, these wrappers posed a serious risk. To help, Sophia even made posters to raise awareness in her community to help prevent more trash from ending up where it shouldn’t be!
“We knew there was garbage from last time we were here.” – Earth Ranger Tyson
Earth Ranger Tyson teamed up with his family to clean up the beach near their home. They worked together, covering an area as big as a football field, picking up all kinds of debris along the shore. They picked up many cigarette butts that were scattered everywhere, which can be very harmful to animals if they accidentally eat them. Thanks to Tyson and his family, the beach is cleaner and safer for wildlife
In the Stash the Trash Mission, you’ll organize your own neighbourhood cleanup to help get rid of litter!
In the Shoreline Saver Mission, you’ll focus your clean-up efforts near water, ensuring litter doesn’t end up creeks, rivers, lakes and even the ocean!
Grab your gloves, garbage and recycling bags – it’s time to gear up for action!
