The Habitat Song Food water shelter space (sung to the tune of Old Mother Leary) A habitat is where a critter gets to live and thrive, and every living creature needs these four things to survive… Chorus: Food! Food! Food! Water! Water! Water! Shelter! Shelter! Shelter! Space! Space! Space! Deer eat the berries and the birds eat the bugs. Foxes eat the chipmunks and the lizards eat the slugs. Bees eat the pollen and the owl eats the rat… What were those four things that make a habitat? chorus Everything needs a place where it can take a drink, fish get it from the ocean. We get it from the sink. Some critters need a little. Some critters need a lot…What were those four things that make a habitat? chorus A bird makes a nest. A bee makes a hive. A human makes a house that will help it stay alive. A tunnel for an ant and a cave for a bat…What were those four things that make a habitat?

9 Cosas Que Puedes Hacer Para Dar Ayuda a la Tierra 1. Quitar los Luzes y Aparatos Cuando no Estan en Uso Quitar las luzes y aparatos cuando no estan en uso ayuda a conserver recursos naturales y ahorra dinero. 2. Utilizar Ambos Lados del Papel Si utilize ambos lados del papel, use menos papel y conserve la energia y los arboles 3. Recoger Basura Alrededor de tú Casa y Escuela Con frequencia, animales comen la basura y despues los pueden enfermar. Recoge basura en tu comunidad para ayudar a los animales y mantener una vecindad sana. 4. Cerrar la Llave Mientras que Lava los Dientes Usemos más o menos cinco galones de agua cuando dejemos la llave abierta mientras que lavamos los dientes. Es como 3650 galones en un año! Si cerramos la llave, solomente usemos un mitad de un galόn. 5. Ayudar tus Padres Lavar el Coche en el Túnel de Lavado Las cunetas en un pueblo usualmente desembocan en un arroyo o rio. Pues cuando utilize jabόn para lavar su coche en el calle, el jabόn entra al arroyo y afecta los animales en el agua. Pescado no le gustan agua jabonoso. El agua jabonoso puede quitar el aceite de sus escamas y despues los no pueden nadar. Cuanda lava el coche en el tunél de lavado, está conectado al alcantarilla, pues el agua jabonoso no entra a los arroyos. 6. Caminar, Montar Bicicleta o Utilizar el Transporte Público Más que 25% de viajes en auto duran menos que una milla. Si monte bicicleta en lugar de manejar el auto, puede conservar el petroleo. 7. Utilizar Bolsas de Tela Para los Provisiones, y una Lonchera Para tú Almuerzo Si utiliza bolsas de tela y una lonchera, puede conservar millones de arboles cada año y reducir la basura en el basurero. 8. Plantar las Plantas Nativas Cuando planta las plantas nativas, ayuda a reducir el diόxido de carbono (CO2) en la atmόsfera, y mantuviera la comida y refugio para los animales. Tambien plantas nativas requieren poco agua. 9. Empezar Abono a tu Casa o Escuela Una familia en los EEUU produce 1,200 libras de basura de comida, madera, y el jardín cada año. Estas materias vegetales transformaran en tierra en un montόn de abono, y nosotros podemos usar la tierra en el jardín. Si vive en el Condado de Sonoma, usted puede poner sus desechos de comida en el bote de reciclaje del jardín y Sonoma Compost lo reciclara por usted.

9 Ways You Can Help the Earth 1. Turn Off Lights and Appliances When They Are Not in Use Turning off lights and appliances when they are not being used helps conserve natural resources and saves money. 2. Use Both Sides of the Paper Using both sides of the paper means you use less paper and help reduce energy and trees used in paper production. 3. Pick Up Trash Around Your School or Home Animals frequently eat garbage lying on the ground and can become sick or even die as a result. Pick up trash to keep your community clean and to help animals stay healthy. 4. Turn Off the Faucet When you Brush Your Teeth You use about 5 gallons of water if you leave the water on while you brush your teeth. That’s about 3650 gallons in a year! If you turn the water off between wetting and rinsing your brush, you only use about 1/2 a gallon. 5. Help Your Parents Wash the Car at a Carwash or on the Lawn Storm drains usually drain straight to a creek or waterway, which means any soap you use to wash your car goes right into the creek and affects the fish and other aquatic life. Fish don’t like soapy water, it takes the oil off their scales which helps them swim. Washing your car at a carwash or on the lawn will keep the soapy water from going into the creeks. 6. Walk, Ride a Bike, Carpool, or Take Public Transportation More than 25 percent of car trips are less than one mile. Using one of these alternatives is a good way to conserve resources. Walking or riding a bike is also good for your health and fun. 7. Use Cloth Bags for Groceries or a Lunch Box for Your Lunch Using cloth bags or a lunch box can help save millions of trees each year and send less trash to landfills. 8. Plant Native Plants Planting plants helps reduce the carbon dioxide (CO2) gas in the atmosphere, and provides homes and food for animals. Native plants also require little if any water once they are established, since they are adapted to this area, which helps to conserve water. 9. Compost at Your Home or School The average American family produces more than 1,200 pounds of food waste, wood, paper and yard scraps each year. These can be turned into garden soil with a compost pile or worm bin. If you live in Sonoma County you can put your food scraps in your yard waste 30 bin and Sonoma Compost will compost it for you.
