Support the birds, insects, reptiles, mammals, and plants that live in your neighborhood. You can also attract more wild species by providing water, food, shelter, and privacy.   Explore habitats in your area. Help clean up and protect beaches, parks, reserves, and fields where wild plants and animals live.   Find out about environmental organizations in your area. Maybe you can help care for injured animals, clean up a habitat, or even answer the phone!   If your house pet runs loose, it can take a toll on wildlife. In the United States alone, it is estimated that 44 million free-roaming cats kill 4.4 million songbirds every day.   Buy things you really need-not just want-so you don't waste Earth's resources on unnecessary items. Shop for good quality, so you can use toys, clothes- and supplies many times- then pass them on to someone else. When you travel, avoid buying souvenirs that cost an animal its life or might have harmed a habitat.   If you choose not to turn on a light,you save energy. If you reuse a jacket handed down by a brother or sister,you've saved all the resources that would have gone into a new jacket. When you recycle,you save energy, electricity, water, and many other resources, too. Earth-keepers always remember the 3 Rs!   Watch wild things, but don't bring them home. Plants and animals often die outside their habitats. Even if they live, they can't reproduce or do their "jobs" in the natural world.   What you do and what you buy can affect other people around the world. Learn about other cultures to discover some new ways to help biodiversity.   Kindly show your friends and family how to take care of the Earth. Soon, they'll want to be like you!
