Earth Day is coming, said Miss Winkle. How can we keep the Earth green?

We can paint it green, said Katie Woo. But we will need lots of paint.

That is not what I mean, said Miss Winkle. I want to keep the Earth green by taking care of the plants and trees. They need clean air and water.

I know what to do, said JoJo. We can fix leaks in our sinks. Then we won’t waste water.

That’s a great idea, said Miss Winkle.
