Is your child ready to make a splash? We’re challenging Earth Rangers across Canada to conserve water with this treasure trove of mermaid-approved tricks!
When your child downloads the Earth Rangers App and accepts the Challenge, they’ll join thousands of other children to log easy, daily, climate-friendly habits. Our goal? Logging a whopping 120,000 habits–and showing children the power of teamwork in the fight against climate change and water waste.
When we reach this goal, participants will earn exclusive in-app rewards for their avatars. They’ll also unlock a fantastic community reward: water quality testing equipment for both Les Scientifines, an after-school program dedicated to nurturing STEM skills and confidence in girls, and the education program of the Métis Nation of Ontario.
Throughout the Big Splash, we’re offering children the information they need to save water in their day-to-day lives. Some of the habits kids can log include:
A Winning Grin!
Did you know that a running faucet wastes more than four liters of water every minute? That’s like pouring eight standard-sized bottles of water down the drain! We’re encouraging kids to turn off the tap when they brush their teeth. Save water with a smile!
Rain, Rain, Don’t Go Away!
It’s raining, it’s pouring – but don’t let us catch you snoring! Next time the rain rolls through your town, encourage your child to place a bucket outside! Your family can use the rainwater you collect to water your plants, wash your pets, and even clean your cars and bikes!
Drip Detective
A leaky faucet isn’t just annoying – it can waste as much as 11,000 liters of water per year! We’re encouraging your child to become a drip detective: find faucets that are wasting water, and flag them for a plumbing fix!
All these and so many other fun habits await your child in the Earth Rangers App. How quickly do you think we can reach our goal of 120,000 water-saving habits?
