Earth Rangers brothers Brady and Jacob have worked together to complete 11 Missions and Bring Back the Wild campaigns!<\/p>\n

Brady, age 5, and Jacob (almost 8 years old!) make eco-friendly choices every day and have shared their enthusiasm for protecting the earth by completing Earth Rangers Missions and raising funds to protect their favourite animals through their Bring Back the Wild campaigns! They both became Earth Rangers in February 2017 after their mom heard about Earth Rangers from a friend at work \u2013 she was excited to show Brady and Jacob a Canadian organization that taught them how to take care of the environment and help animals!<\/p>\n

Since then, the brothers have completed almost all of the Earth Rangers Missions which they find a lot of fun! Jacob\u2019s favourite Mission was Toxic Takedown: \u201cIt was so cool making plastic from milk and vinegar. It was also really neat to see the baking soda and vinegar drainer cleaner work!\u201d<\/em> Brady\u2019s favourite Mission was Shoreline Saver: \u201cWe were saving the earth by cleaning up all of the yucky garbage. We filled lots of garbage bags\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Brady and Jacob have also completed Outdoor Explorer, ATK in Action, Back to Nature, Spring Green-Up and Pollinator Power, just to name a few! These Missions have helped them put their eco-friendly choices into practice, at home and within their community: \u201cAt home, we recycle everything that we can. Mom always tells us Earth Rangers to check for lights and turn the ones off we aren\u2019t using (she actually calls us Earth Rangers when we are making earth-friendly decisions!). Now that it\u2019s nice outside, we walk\/bike to and from school as many days as we can,\u201d<\/em> says Jacob.<\/p>\n

\u201cI pick up the garbage I see at the parks to help keep it clean. Here\u2019s a picture of me picking up some garbage at my brother\u2019s baseball game,\u201d<\/em> shares Brady.<\/p>\n

The brothers have not only been working hard on their Missions, but they\u2019ve also held their own Bring Back the Wild fundraising campaigns, raising over $300 each towards their Midland Painted Turtles and Bees & Other Pollinators campaigns! To exceed their fundraising goals, they created and sold postcards with funny sayings! Jacob brought his fundraising to his school, and actually started the process in getting Earth Rangers to present on April 26 where Jacob was asked to be part of the presentation!<\/p>\n

Jacob: \u201cI chose to help the Bees & Other Pollinators because they are important for helping food and plants grow\u201d<\/em>
\nBrady: \u201cTurtles are my favourite! I wanted to save the Midland Painted Turtles\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Most of all, the brothers are super passionate about protecting the environment and are really happy to continue sharing their love for animals and the world. Let\u2019s hear about why they think it\u2019s important to make earth-saving choices every day:<\/p>\n

Jacob: \u201cIt\u2019s important to protect animals and the environment because the earth could get sick and die if we don\u2019t take care of it. We only have one earth and we need to take care of it and the animals that live here. The future of the environment and wildlife depends on how we treat them now\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Brady: \u201cIt\u2019s important to protect animals and the environment because the earth needs to be save and taken care of for future kids\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Thank you to Ranger Brady and Ranger Jacob on their creative and thoughtful work!<\/h2>\n
