Ever wondered about used toilet paper rolls? Crafting with them is both fun and good for the planet! Heard of upcycling? Upcycling turns them into cool creations like a fin-tastic fish?!
Step 1: Your fish are going to need fins and a tail! Cut little triangles from your foam/paper.
TIP: You can spice things up by cutting a cool wavy design into the tail.
Step 2: Let’s put your fish together! Glue the fins and tail to your toilet paper roll.
Step 3: Time to paint your fish! What kind of pattern do you want to give it? Does it have a white belly? Is it a clownfish, a whale, a shark, or another type of sparkly fish?
Step 4: Once the body paint is dry, your fish are going to need eyes! Finish everything off by drawing on eyes, and even a smile! There you have it! A funky fish!
Hello and welcome to our brand new season! We are diving deep on some burning questions like “what does the world look like to a fly, how do whales sleep and how does an octopus go into battle? (Well armed!)
Welcome back Earth Rangers! After a wild trip around the world to find Adelia, a race across the United States and a super-productive forced “Vacation” in different national parks, Emma is finally back at the Earth Rangers Centre!
After so many different cool and excited adventures, what is there to do? Investigate mysteries about the animal kingdom, of course! Ever wondered “Can mammals lay eggs?”, “How do whales sleep?”, “What does the world look like to a fly?”, and “Are there birds that can’t fly even though they have wings?” Emma’s here to try answering these questions, and more!
Well, what do you think?
Super-athletes are fast, but can they outrun a horse in a long-distance race? Vote on the answer you think is right! If you have any thoughts, share them in the comments below.
So… what’s the answer? Be sure listen to know the full reason why! In fact, the answer can change, it all depends on very special circumstances.
A race has a lot of different elements: Horses are fast, but humans are too. Both have pretty good endurance – something that allows them to keep running for a long time without getting tired (which the super-speedy cheetah does not have). The difference? Weather and SWEAT! Humans sweat! It cools us off in hot weather. Horses sweat too, but their fur coats can heat them faster. During warm weather, humans can finally get an advantage over horses… but is that enough to beat them in a marathon?
Do you have a fun animal mystery you want us to explore?

Have you ever had a toy break on you? A soccer ball that sprung a leak, an action figure that lost a limb, or a tear in your fave plushie? Don’t throw it away. Fix it!
When we throw things away, we’re not only creating more trash going to the landfill – we’re wasting all of the precious resources and energy that it took to make them. But what if, instead of buying things, using them, and then throwing them in the trash… we looked at new ways of making, using, and reusing them? This system is called the circular economy, and it’s a way to turn things around in our homes and planet!
This brand-new Mission will show you how the Reduce-Repair-Reuse-Recycle system of the circular economy works, and how we can take care of the Earth by using things wisely. Instead of throwing stuff away, we’ll fix them. By doing this, we can help protect the Earth’s resources and avoid waste.
To complete this Mission, you must…
We have something called a “linear economy”. That means we use up resources to make things, and then we throw them away. People buy new cellphones almost every year, but what about the old ones? Sadly, many of them end up being thrown away, and that’s not good for the environment.
But there’s a way to do things that’s much better for our planet! It’s called the circular economy, and it’s really cool! It’s about four special words: Reduce, Repair, Reuse, and Recycle. In this system, everything is important, and we try not to waste anything, just like how nature works!”
The “I Can Fix it” Mission is all about the circular economy, and teaches you different ways to repair all sorts of things, from toys to books to ceramics!
If you live in Ontario, and especially in the York region, you can take part in this mission, AND join others to fix things! You’ll love the very special version of this Mission that tells you about local Repair Cafés, Libraries, Lenderies, Recycling Depots, and more! Just accept the I Can Fix It Mission in the Earth Rangers App.
No matter where you live, there are lots of ways to be part of the circular economy, both at home and in your community! We can’t wait to see what you do!

Hello, Earth Rangers! My name is Katie Florko. I am a research scientist who studies Arctic marine mammal movement patterns and behaviour. I recently finished my PhD at the University of British Columbia. Most of my work takes place in Hudson Bay, in the far north of Canada. This year, when you adopt a ringed seal from Earth Rangers, you’re supporting me and my research! You can learn more about ringed seals and adopt one in the Earth Rangers App.
Since September, I’ve been busy analyzing ringed seal movement patterns. These seals wore tags that recorded their movement and diving patterns. From this, we’re able to see where seals forage for food and what areas might be important to protect. This is a tricky project!
On one hand, we think the most important areas to protect are the areas the seals are spending the most time. But these tend to be the areas with the least fish, where it takes the seals longer to look for food. My research helps to measure seals’ movements through fish populations. That way, we can better understand which areas we need to protect to help seals.
And that’s not all! I’m also involved in projects on harbour seals and narwhals. This past summer, I was able to help out with tagging harbour seals in western Hudson Bay. I also went on aerial surveys in the high Arctic, where we saw walrus, narwhals, and lots of seals!
Fieldwork for tagging seals typically happens from the ice edge in the spring, or from the shore in the summer. This is the most exciting part of the job! But an equally important and almost as fun part is spending the fall and winter uncovering the secret lives of seals through the data we collect from their tags. My fellow scientists and I use this data to piece together the story. Then we share our insights with each other and with folks who work to protect seals. Before we know it, we’re planning next spring’s fieldwork!
Let’s put your identification skills to the test! Can you figure out what is hidden in this picture? Make your guess in the comments.
Have you heard? This Earth Month, every plush adoption kit not only helps to support important conservation work. It also comes with a FREE amulet.
We’ve got a ton of great suggestions in our earlier vote blog. Keep them coming! We’re all ears for more fun names.
Who knows? Yours might get added to this poll.

Do you have a talent for sniffing out clues?
Try it out with this tailsome scramble!
What? This isn’t a raccoon! Its nose isn’t that long to call it an anteater!
This cute critter is a coati, also known as “Coatimundi”. Coatis are mammals that live in Central and South America. They have long, flexible snouts for foraging and sharp claws for climbing trees. Coatis are social animals that live in groups called “bands” to help each other find food and stay safe.
