Quick! What’s a place with lots of birds, mammals, insects and a bunch of trees? It’s a forest! If you want to do your part to help conserve forests this holiday season, then Happy Holi-DIY is for you!
Forests are incredibly important ecosystems, not just for the animals that live in them, but for humans too. From the air we breathe to the water we drink, forests touch our lives every day.
Each holiday season we buy new toys, clothing and who can forget the shiny new holiday decorations that make the season bright! Our forests provide us with the resources to make these products (like wood, paper and metals) so it’s important that they are collected in a responsible way.
You can also do things in your own home to help our forests. One of the best ways is to practice the 3 R’s – reduce, reuse and recycle.
When you’re finished with something, don’t just throw it out – see if you can reuse it! All it takes is some Do-It-Yourself (D.I.Y.) spirit and a little imagination to help make a big difference for our forests.
This year you can help conserve Canada’s forests and the animals living there by making your own holiday gifts and decorations!
When you accept the Happy Holi-DIY Mission, you’ll get access to awesome crafts that you can make from items found around your home. Grab an empty jar, an egg carton, an old pop bottle, a sock or even just a pinecone, and get crafting!
To complete this Mission you must:
• Make homemade crafts like the ones in this Brief by using materials found around your home.
• Give your crafts as gifts to your family and friends or use them to decorate your home.
• When you’re done, visit www.earthrangers.com/happy-holi-DIY to let us know how it went!
So cute!!
adorable
I agree.
people shouldn’t use natural trees in Christmas. Just use fake reusable and decorate differently every year
We can also use our paper supplies in a wiser manner and give away toys that we no longer use for other children to enjoy.
But i guess you could get a real tree from a Christmas Tree Farm… So Can You Get One From A Farm? It doesn’t make loss of the environment. So yes, the answer would be you could get real Christmas trees. So ya, grey fox I don’t know the answer. To go with your explanation or mine?
yes they shouldn’t use natural trees because it is creating a loss of habitat for many animals and trees provide us with oxygen now if we cut all of them we won’t be able to survive
yeah I agree
I also agree
I made the snowflake. I think its such a great way to reuse but the only thing is now I cant take the bottle into the bottle depot so it be great for ideas on what to use the rest of the bottle for. Thank you and go Earth Rangers!
if you reuse stuff you are saving the world
i think that if we all recycle the world will last longer and not as many animals would die
Me too!!!!!!!
I’m glad I don’t use real trees.

I think its a great idea to make homemade orgaments instead of buying orgaments every single year
yeah, me too!!! I feel bad for the animals
these projects are super fun.
LoL!!!
these stuff are ADORABLE!!!!!
thanks to the Earth Rangers every kid in my class wanted to make these stuff.
They were awesome crafts. I loved them
THEY WERE SO COOL!
I loved them so much I gave them to some people and they said they really liked it!
i love these crafts! And everyones right DON’T USE REAL TREES FOR CHRISTMAS TREES! You are really hurting the environment and making more and more animal die! But i guess you could get a real tree from a Christmas Tree Farm… So Can You Get One From A Farm? It doesn’t make loss of the environment. So yes, the answer would be you could get real Christmas trees.
