“My name is Sara, I’m 8 years old. A few weeks ago I heard about Earth Rangers on TV. I have a passion for animals so I asked my mom to sign me up for Earth Rangers.

I decided to protect bees because they are endangered and they are very valuable animals .
In order to raise money I made bees out of rocks and I bought stuffed animals and labeled them saying, “SAVE THE BEES”.
I worked very hard to make them and sell them everywhere I went with my parents. I also made an effort to demonstrate to people how important it is to help save and protect bees.

I care very much about this cause that I’m planting flowers in my garden and I also put a bee condo in my backyard.
I collected over $500 to support the campaign for the bees and helped spread awareness.

Thank you for giving me this opportunity!”

Ranger Sara hopes to be a veterinarian one day, and really wishes she could live on a farm with lots of different animals to take care of. Right now, she spends lots of time with her dog Hunter.

Ranger Sara has been working hard to make sure bees and other pollinators are recognized, protected and celebrated! Sara became an Earth Ranger in April 2017 and held a Bees & Other Pollinators fundraising campaign right away! She collected and painted rocks to look like bees and bought bee stuffed animals to raise over $500 towards her campaign. What an incredible idea!

While Sara was fundraising, she completed the 2 Missions as part of her Earth Rangers journey. First, she headed outside to her backyard and planted flowers such as lavender, sunflowers and hortensia. Next, Sara went a step further and created a bee condo for bees to find a safe place to nest. She also makes an effort to tell everyone she meets about the importance of planting flowers and adding bee condos to their gardens.

For her second completed Mission, Ranger Sara collected over 700 used batteries as part of the Battery Blitz Mission: “It made me very sad, that some people just put them in the garbage. I think we have to make more of an effort to advertise it and where people can recycle them,” Sara tells us.

Let’s hear what else Ranger Sara does on a daily basis to lead an environmentally-friendly lifestyle: “We are using eco-friendly, toxic-free cleaning products at home. We are not using plastic water bottles and are drinking filtered tap water instead. We recycle at home and everywhere we go. I use public transportation (school bus) to go to school instead of asking my parents to drop me off, and I bring litter-free lunches to school every day” – Wow! It sounds like Sara is really paying attention to how her actions can make an impact on the earth!

Sara, why is it important to protect animals and the environment?
“It is important to protect our environment, because our future depends on it. We must all work together to make efforts to save water, protect the soil and air from pollution. Keep the plants and animals alive because once we are out of something we are out of it. What I advocate to my friends is that we should not litter the environment and we should avoid the use of plastic water bottles, plastic bags and always recycle batteries. My parents always guide me to not use more than I need”

Thank you Ranger Sara for your amazing earth-saving work!
