Meet four-year-old Asia. She may be young but she is extremely dedicated to keeping her community clean and inspiring others to do the same.
Asia and her mom pick up garbage in their neighbourhood each year. This year they made a short video which they shared with family and friends asking for help with their annual clean up.
To their surprise people from Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia and the Yukon responded saying they are going to pitch in by cleaning up the streets in their communities and a local environment group called NEAT has also put their support behind the cause.
We were so inspired by Asia’s story that we grabbed some gloves and bags and headed out to the street and spent a lunch hour picking up garbage too!
We think Asia’s commitment to the environment is amazing. An active animal and environmental enthusiast, not only does she pick up garbage to help keep the environment safe for animals, she also recycles and composts.

Meet Mya, an enthusiastic and dedicated Earth Ranger. Not only did she help protect the beluga whale with a cool fundraiser, Mya and her family recycle as much as possible and also reuse lots of items that Mya and her sister use to make crafts.
Here’s Mya to tell us about her fundraiser for the beluga whale.
Hi! My name is Mya. I am 11 years old, and I love animals, especially dragonflies! I love singing, drawing, colouring, dancing and nature! I dream of becoming a vet or a teacher. I love the Earth Rangers website, and spend lots of my time looking at articles!
My friend introduced me to Earth Rangers. I first heard about it at school, when she was in the newspaper. She was one of the winners of the Whales, Trails, And Polar Bear Tales contest! She told me about Earth Rangers, I loved the idea!!
When I looked on the website, I thought of a plan! I knew that I had toys that are put away, abandoned. So, why not have a garage sale! I could sell the toys, and then donate all the money that I earned! My mom suggested a bake sale, so I thought, let’s do both! My sister and I set up the sale, with help from my mom. We spent an evening and an afternoon selling tasty treats and toys.
In the end, I raised $150! I had to pay my mom $20 for the baking treats, so I ended up with $130! I went straight to the website and donated it all for the beluga whales! I even made a sash for my pins!
Amazing Mya! When we last spoke with Mya she was working on the Battery Blitz Mission and had this to say, “Try and recycle as much as possible so there will be less garbage ruining the Earth!”
Thank you Mya for sharing your story and for helping to protect our planet.

Meet Rosie. She wrote to us to tell us about how she was inspired to help protect animals after Earth Rangers visited her school.
Hi, my name is Rosie. A few months ago Earth Rangers visited my school and showed everyone these amazing animals and I decided that I wanted to help them.
I told my mom about Earth Rangers and she told me that there was a church bazaar being held where my nana lives and that we could sell stuff and collect money to help Earth Rangers save the bees. Well, after that we pretty much turned my basement upside down, looking for toys we did not need anymore. Some of those toys were great for my brother, but he wanted to help save the bees too. Soon we had books, DVD’s, toys and more to bring. We even had a bike! We headed to my nana’s with a FULL car.
When we got there, my nana was waiting for us at her house. We used up a whole afternoon making signs to put on our booth, but they turned out AMAZING, plus my nana had even more things to sell! She got a bunch of stuff from one of her friends.
The next day was the day of the church bazaar and we got there at seven o’clock. Even though the bazaar wasn’t supposed to start until eight, people were already there at seven buying stuff up like mad! When we passed 100 dollars I freaked out! After the church bazaar we did the final tally, 185 dollars!! I smiled so hard my mouth hurt.
Me and my mom got home and told my dad about our success. I guess he told all of his friends too, because he showed me that he made a final donation to Earth Rangers for 250 dollars. I really hope this money will help you save the bees, and many more people will donate!
Sincerely,
Rosie
After reading Rosie’s letter we were all smiling too! Thank you Rosie. Your donation will help fund important research being done by Dr. Cory Sheffield of the Royal Saskatchewan Museum to help scientists better understand how to help pollinators like bees.
