What does it mean to be green? “Green” is more than just a color. It also means taking special steps to protect the environment—the water, the land, and the air we breathe. Why green? Plants are green, and without them the earth wouldn’t be such a lovely home for us human beings.

Sometimes people call ours a “throwaway society”. That means we are always throwing away old things and buying new ones. Many times, if you no longer need something, someone else just might need it.

And one less large plastic toy doesn’t need to be produced.
