Earth Defenders

One of the ways I spend my time is with children. On Earth Day, I was helping a student with English. We started talking about Earth Day and he asked me, "what do people do on Earth Day?" He is in grade 3, by the way.

I told him that on Earth Day, people are extra nice to the Earth. For example, they might take special care to turn off unnecessary lights. Immediately he said, "I do that! My Mom is so wasteful! I'm always following her and turning lights off!"

I told him, "you're an Earth Protector!" He sat up straight and said very seriously, "I'm not just an Earth Protector, I'm an Earth DEFENDER!"

​Thought it was too good a story not to share. =)
