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!
I did this my fav was the bath bomb
its sooooooooooooo fun
I tried to make this so-called “Homemade plastic”. It was a total waste of milk. It looked like dandruff made out of feta cheese;-;
Hi Ranger Sweetiepie321! It’s so great that you gave the Toxic Takedown Mission a shot – way to go! The fun thing about science experiments is that you sometimes never know if they’re going to work or not. Keep up the great work and let us know how it went!
So fun
i tried this mission today and it is fun
just excepted the mission.
This mission is so cool! I can’t wait to make the plastic. Has anyone made it yet?
I think this is a great way to save the animals we love!
I did Thai is was fun
Really fun
I love it
