Angelina is 13 years old and love animals, nature and doing whatever she can to protect the planet. She loves spending time outdoors with her family and going on walks to see trees, plants and animals.
Angelina has completed Bring Back the Wild campaigns for the swift fox and the eastern wolf. With eight dogs in her family it’s no wonder Angelina wanted to help protect these canines.
To raise awareness for her campaigns, Angelina talked to her class and made announcements over the school PA system, she hosted a jerk chicken fundraiser at her dad’s work and put a coin jar in his office where people could drop off spare change, she sold chocolates to her neighbours, she asked her friends and family to donate and she asked her parents to spread the word to their friends too. Wow!
Angelina’s commitment to protecting animals does not end there. She has completed three Earth Rangers Missions, the Water Taste Challenge, the For the Birds Missions and the Homemade Holiday Mission. She also started a pop tab recycling program at her school and is trying to get better recycling options in her building, like having a recycling bin in the mail room.
“We need to take action and protect the planet because we only get one and every little gesture counts.”
Soon after Angelina completed her Bring Back the Wild campaigns, she attended an Earth Rangers community show at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto. “I learned so much about what the Earth Rangers do and I knew I did the right thing by raising money. I also knew that I wanted to do something like they do one day.”
Angelina has even inspired some of her friends to start thinking about how they can make a difference for the planet.
