Today is Earth Day! Earth day is the largest environmental even in the world! More than six million Canadians will join one billion people in over 170 countries to participate in activities to protect the environment. Today we discussed some of the things we can do to help save the earth.

Please ask your child: what are some things they will start doing every day to help the environment? Here is a checklist your child can use to help them keep track of how they're saving the environment.
