Some people call our planet “Mother Earth.” Like a mother, our
planet provides us with the things that give us life – like food and
water. Mother Earth gives us more than food and water – she gives us
beautiful flowers, places to walk and even majestic mountains to enjoy.

The amount of trash people dump on
Mother Earth each year is enormous.
This causes problems for people,
animals and the environment.
Each year people
dump more than
2 billion tons of
waste. That’s the
weight of about
5,480 Empire
State Buildings!
If all this waste was
put on trucks, a line of those trucks
would go around the world 24 times!
This holiday season you can give
a gift to your planet by taking the
“Love My Planet Pledge.” Sign
the Pledge, cut it out and keep it
somewhere you can see it everyday.
It will help remind you of how you
can care for Mother Earth everyday!

Planet Pledge

I will try to buy goods with little or no
packaging. Less packaging, less trash!
I will wipe up spills with a sponge or
cloth instead of paper towels.
