Meet Kristina, A Recycling and Energy Saving Hero

Kristina learned about Earth Rangers when we visited her school. When she heard about all the different animals that need help, she decided to do something to make a difference. She signed up to become an Earth Ranger and chose to start a Bring Back the Wild campaign to help protect the western screech owl.

Kristina told us that she loves how owls blend into the trees. She raised funds for her campaign by doing chores at home and for other family members. Her mom came up with a dollar value for each chore. The harder Kristina worked the more money she could raise, “I can say that I have done just about every chore imaginable!”

A dedicated Earth Ranger, Kristina has completed many Missions including Spring Clean Up, Homemade Holiday, Operation Conservation and Battery Blitz. Her family has even made collecting and recycling batteries a regular activity.

“At home I always make sure that we recycle and compost as much as possible. I turn off extra lights, play outside instead of watching TV and put bird feeders in our yard. We all need to do our part to help the environment. If we don’t make changes now many of the animals that we love might not be around in the next 5 or 10 years. It’s never too late to make a difference and even small things help!”

We couldn’t agree more Kristina. Keep up the amazing work!
