Celebrating and Saving Wildlife and Wild Places:

By repurposing materials, we reduce the amount of waste that is sent to the landfill. This reduces the amount of harmful landfill gasses that are released into the atmosphere. These gases act as a heat-trapping blanket, causing the Earth’s climate to change.

 Take Action:

You just made a fun toy with items found in your home! Look around your home and see if you have other items that otherwise would end up in the landfill, and see if you can make a toy out of those items!
