Kids in Action

One thing that kids have in common is that we all share Mother Earth as our place to live! More and more, children are discovering how everything is connected in our world.

Global Friends Foundation promotes friendship among young people as well as friendship with the animals who share our habitat.

Friends of the Sea™ is a book series that tells the story of four animal friends who depend on the sea and why it’s important for all of us to take care of the environment. Friends of the Land™ is a similar series of animal friends who depend on the land.

What You Can Do Can Do To Help Our Friends of the Sea & Land

You or your class can brainstorm how to help the Environment in your area. Be Creative!

How do you, your family, your classroom, or your school help Mother Earth? Write to us so we can share your ideas so others may also join in to help our environment. Only the most creative ideas will be highlighted—so be creative!

Here are just a few suggestions. We know you will have many more creative ideas!

• Make a class mural of what your class did to help the environment in your community or school. Take a picture of the mural and write about the actions you took to help Mother Earth.
• In your classroom, make team posters of what each team did to help make our world a better place to live. Take a picture of your poster close up. And, you can take a picture of your poster with the kids who worked on each poster as well. Send the photos to us, and be sure to include a caption in your e-mail to explain what the photo is about and how we can get in touch with you. Make sure the teams put into practice what their posters show on how they are helping their environment.
• If you have a fabulous idea to help the environment and make Mother Earth a better place to live but are too young right now to make this happen, write about your idea or invention as best you can. Send illustrations or photos – and be sure to include a caption.
• How did you help your family change some habits to help our environment?

Travis, whom you may have met in one of our videos or books, will be reading your suggestions about the environment along with a team of educators. You never know if Travis and his camera crew will show up at your school to highlight your idea in an upcoming book or video!
