Do you want to get involved, and work to save the rainforest? Many kids have done just that! The most important step is to learn about the rainforest, the people and animals that live there, and the threats to their survival. If you are learning about the rainforest and you want to take action, here are some ideas.
Everyone bakes something with a rainforest theme! Did you know that chocolate comes from cacao (cuh-cow), which comes from the rainforest?
If you live in a state where you can turn in empty bottles or cans for money, get all your friends to help you for one week. Many places let you recycle inkjet cartridges for $1 apiece.
Every classroom has a large jar to collect pennies. The classroom with the most pennies wins. It's a contest for the whole school!
