When toxins get into the environment, they can do a lot of damage by polluting our ecosystems and making the animals we love sick. What’s worse is that you might be adding to the problem and not even know it. Why? Because some of the products we use every day release toxins into the environment.
Well, now it’s time we got tough on toxins, with Toxic Takedown!
What is a toxin? If something is toxic, it means that it’s harmful to the health of humans, animals and/or the environment. You can think of toxins as a kind of poison.
Toxins in products you have at home can cause big problems for wildlife. And we’re not just talking about the animals in your neighbourhood. If these toxins get into our important waterways, like the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence Rivers, they can travel all the way to the Arctic!
We need your help to protect animals by keeping these toxins out of our ecosystems.
In this Mission, you’ll learn about some of the household products that contain toxins that can hurt the environment. Then, you’ll do your part to eliminate these products by unleashing your inner scientist to create your own eco-friendly plastic, cleaners, and bath bombs!
it felt good completing this mission as it was fun, i learned a lot and want to share what i learned with everyone. great mission. bath bombs were cool, making plastics was cool. making cleaners was great.
It’s so great to hear you enjoyed the mission! You’re really making a difference! Keep up the great work, every mission helps!!! 🙂

this mission is one of my favorite because i know how some of those animals feel
i really love to drink water and if my water was all dirty and gorse i not be very happy and id be scared
so i cant imagine how they all feel.
I liked squishing the ingredients into the mold. And they spelled great!
I made a heart out of clay (hot milk and vinegar) and painted it. Then I gave it to my mom for mother’s day
I liked this mission because it was easy and fun while your helping the environment!!!
This is the first mission I have completed, it was great fun for both me and my sister. The bath bombs where the most fun to make and I learned a lot about the different things we can do to help our environment. I think selling these bath bombs would be a great fund raiser for my Save The Grey Fox Mission 😀
I liked it! The part that I didn’t like was that it was super long to do.
It was fun and Very Eco-Friendly!
I liked the bubble,s and the smell of the vinegar.
I cleaned the bathtub and sink with our new safe cleaner! Were making the bath bombs to sell for an Earth Ranger Fundraiser!!
