Popsicle Partnered with National Geographic Kids To Help Slow the Melt

Hey kids, here are ten simple things you can do every day to help slow the melt of the polar ice caps! These tips were created just for kids like you by National Geographic Kids™.

Here's 10 Things You Can Do To Help Too

  • Switch off the light every time you leave a room.

  • Turn off the TV or video game and play outside.

  • Ride a bike or walk instead of using the car.

  • Take short showers instead of baths. Aim for five minutes-but still get clean!

  • Turn over used paper and use it for artwork or scrap paper.

  • Turn off the water while brushing your teeth.

  • Participate in clean up days at a beach or park.

  • Scrape leftovers off dishes and into the trash instead of rinsing the food off. Then wash them.

  • Drink from a reusable water bottle. All those single-serve bottles create waste in production and pollution with delivery.

  • Place your desk next to a window and use natural light instead of a lamp.
