If being climate-friendly were a sport, plastic would be off the team! Earth Rangers has launched a NEW Project 2050<\/a> climate-friendly Challenge and the focus this time is on plastic. We know plastic can be found in the water we drink, the food we eat, and even the air we breathe! It\u2019s time to kick plastic waste out of the game for good!<\/p>\n\n\n

The goal of every Challenge is to empower kids to make small changes in their daily routine. We encourage Earth Rangers to start new HABITS and make them stick \u2013 like putting gum in the penalty box for starters!  Most gum has something called \u201cgum base\u201d. It\u2019s made from a mix of plastic and chemicals. It\u2019s the secret behind gum\u2019s chewiness. The problem is that we spit our gum out into the environment A LOT! It\u2019s the second most common type of litter, after cigarette butts. In the app, kids can log each day they go without chewing gum and they\u2019re off to the finish line. This is just one example of the climate-friendly habits featured in our new Challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might have guessed by now; we\u2019re running with a sports theme! We\u2019re convinced it\u2019s a slam dunk that Earth Rangers will emerge victorious. So find out more about how your kids can avoid a plastic bag foul<\/em> and red card for lunchtime litter<\/em> by encouraging them to join the Rangers vs Plastics Challenge in the app<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project 2050<\/a> is named after Canada\u2019s climate goal of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
