Have you ever had a toy break on you? A soccer ball that sprung a leak, an action figure that lost a limb, or a tear in your favorite plushie? Don\u2019t throw it away. Fix it!\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

When we throw things away, we\u2019re not only creating more trash going to the landfill \u2013 we\u2019re wasting all of the precious resources and energy that it took to make them. But what if, instead of buying things, using them, and then throwing them in the trash\u2026 we looked at new ways of making, using, and reusing them? This system is called the circular economy, <\/strong>and it\u2019s a way to turn things around in our homes and planet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can fix things instead of trashing them<\/strong>.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Join the \u201cI CAN FIX IT!\u201d Mission to find out how!<\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This brand-new Mission will show you how the Reduce-Repair-Reuse-Recycle system of the circular economy works, and how we can take care of the Earth by using things wisely. Instead of throwing stuff away, we’ll fix them. By doing this, we can help protect the Earth’s resources and avoid waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To complete this Mission, you must\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Learn about the circular economy and how it benefits our planet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Find something you no longer use because it\u2019s damaged or broken.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Use your instructions (and a grownup\u2019s help) to repair your item.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Open the Mission in the app. When you\u2019re done, let us know how you did \u2013 and don\u2019t forget to share a photo of you doing your Mission!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    A Trashy Truth<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    We have something called a \u201clinear economy\u201d. That means we use up resources to make things, and then we throw them away. People buy new cellphones almost every year, but what about the old ones? Sadly, many of them end up being thrown away, and that’s not good for the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    But there\u2019s a way to do things that\u2019s much better for our planet! It\u2019s called the circular economy<\/strong>, and it’s really cool! It’s about four special words: Reduce, Repair, Reuse, and Recycle. In this system, everything is important, and we try not to waste anything, just like how nature works!”<\/p>\n\n\n
