We recently came across a new book, 20 Easy Ways to Save the Earth, that is full of great ideas for readers young and old. Making changes in the little things we do can have a great impact on the planet, according to authors Coach Pedro and Susan Adam-Rita, who set out to write this book to educate, inspire, and empower children to protect the environment. 
Some of the things children can do to save the planet are to:
- Pick up litter instead of throwing it on the floor/land. Cleaning after yourself and others around you is something everyone can do.
- Protect Wildlife not giving animals’ human food and or not taking them away from their natural habitat, since we need them to make the environment a better place.
- Turn of the water when you are not using it. While brushing your teeth, shampooing the dog, washing your car, and taking shorter showers. Turn off the water until you actually need it for rinsing.
