At Earth Rangers, we\u2019re gearing up for an epic event that is just around the corner: the Provincial Day of Action on Litter! It happens every year on the second Tuesday in May. This year, it\u2019s on May 14th, and kids all across Ontario will team up to say “NO” to litter bugs, and “YES” to cleaner communities!<\/p>\n\n\n

Ontario\u2019s Provincial Day of Action on Litter is a special day. It\u2019s when we\u2019ll all come together, roll up our sleeves, and jump into the sometimes messy work of cleaning up our planet! We\u2019ll tackle the trash that litters our streets, stopping it from ending up in parks or waterways, where it can harm animals and pollute our water. But it\u2019s not just about cleaning! It\u2019s also about spreading the word on why it\u2019s important to keep our environment clean, and cheering on those who are working hard to clean up litter from nature.<\/p>\n\n\n

What can you do this Provincial Day of Action on Litter?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

At Earth Rangers, we\u2019re all about helping the planet, protecting animals and having fun while doing it! And what better way to celebrate Ontario\u2019s Day of Action on Litter than by completing the Shoreline Saver or Stash the Trash Mission! For a limited time only, you\u2019ll get DOUBLE the points for completing either of these missions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Stash the Trash Mission, you\u2019ll organize your own neighbourhood cleanup to help get rid of litter!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In the Shoreline Saver in the Mission, you\u2019ll focus your clean-up efforts near water, ensuring litter doesn\u2019t end up creeks, rivers, lakes and even the ocean!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s what Earth Rangers who completed these Missions had to say:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI clean up because I like the animals around shorelines and I don’t want them to die.\u201d<\/em> – Earth Ranger Langley<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Langley knew that cleaning up with his friends would be an adventure. So, they formed their own clean-up crew and joined the Shoreline Saver Mission. As they walked around their favourite playing area near the creek, they found lots of plastic packaging. They worked together to remove every last piece!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is important to you to keep your neighbourhood clean so that none of the animals go extinct and it makes a better planet\u201d<\/em>– Earth Ranger Harlow<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harlow and her brother teamed up for the Stash the Trash Mission. Setting out into their neighbourhood, they found lots paper and even a pile of egg cartons along the way. To make their clean-up more fun, they named each piece of trash’s \u2018villain\u2019 name like “Plastosaurus” or “Victoria Baggins”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Grab your gloves, garbage, and recycling bags\u2014it’s time to gear up for action!<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n
