Over the years our girls have done a number of things to help the environment. One of their favorites was when they decided to do a cleanup day in our neighborhood with our troop. The girls each brought gloves and and a trash bag. We also did a photo scavenger hunt related to Earth Day and protecting earth. The trash and recyclables were separated and the recyclables were dropped of at our local recycle drop center. After we were all done we stayed at the park and had a pizza party.
