What is your environmental footprint?
Grades 6-8
If everyone on Earth lived like you do, how many planet earths would we need? What if we changed our habits and started reusing, recycling and reducing what we consume? You can shrink your environmental footprint by practicing the 5 Rs: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Respect and Responsible.
