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 was so fun to make the cleaners. I also made a video about it for my DIY YouTube channel. I had fun measuring out the ingredients and then mucking in it, I do say myself. I helped my mom clean the bathroom with my own cleaner.
Awesome job Ranger! You totally are making a huge difference! Thanks for all your help protecting animals, and their habitats!!! 🙂
