RAINFOREST ACTION: What you can do!


http://www.ran.org/fileadmin/materials/grassroots/pdf/Kids_Action_Toolkit.pdf


Write on both sides of every piece of
paper, and try to use scratch paper
whenever possible. Recycle when done!

Use cloth napkins and towels
whenever possible.

Take a canvas bag to the grocery
store instead of getting a paper bag
from the store.

When you buy paper, try to buy
100% post-consumer recycled
paper. ! at means it’s made from
paper that we’ve already used.

Or better yet, buy 100% tree-free
paper. Tree-free paper can be made
from plants like kenaf, hemp, bamboo,
cotton, fl ax or even banana stalks.

Ask your teacher or principal to help
you make sure the whole school
starts buying only 50-100% postconsumer
waste recycled paper. Let
us know if your classroom or school
decides to switch! We will announce
your success on our website.

Ask your parents to help save ancient
forests by avoiding mahogany, ebony,
rosewood and zebrawood—all of
which come from rainforests! ese
woods are beautiful but quickly
disappearing.

We can build our homes out of
things besides wood! How about
bamboo, brick or adobe?
