- Talk with your mentee about how some of the earth’s resources are becoming scarce. Some plants and animals are becoming extinct.
- Help your mentee find out which animals are on the list of endangered species. Go to the library or search online to find out more about them.
- Have your mentee reuse items around the house for craft projects. Explain that this cuts down on waste. Decorate grocery bags to use as gift-wrap. Cover cans to turn them into pencil holders.
- Take your mentee shopping to show her how to shop "green." Choose products with less packaging. Buy containers that can be recycled.
- Have your mentee help you recycle. She can sort plastic, paper and cans for recycle bins.
- Plant a tree together. Do this in your backyard or as part of a local program in your town.
