How to Explain His Impact to Kids: Imagine if some neighborhoods had clean parks and fresh air, but others had trash everywhere and dirty water to drink. That wouldn’t be fair, right? Everyone deserves a safe and clean place to live.
Dr. Robert Bullard works to make sure that ALL people, no matter where they live, have clean air and water. He noticed that some communities—especially Black and low-income neighborhoods—had more pollution, making people sick. So, he spoke up and worked with leaders to make laws that protect those communities.
How Kids Can Learn from Dr. Bullard Today:
Pick up litter when you see it.
Ask questions about how we can keep our air and water clean.
Speak up when you see something unfair!
Every year on December 11, people around the world celebrate International Mountain Day, a time to learn how mountains shape our planet and support life in incredible ways. Even if you do not live anywhere near a mountain, these towering natural wonders affect the water you drink, the animals you love, and the adventures you dream about.
Soil might look like simple brown dirt, but it is one of the most alive and important parts of our planet. World Soil Day is a chance to explore the tiny world hidden beneath our feet, a world filled with creatures, nutrients, and natural systems that help plants grow, clean our water, and even protect the climate. When we understand how soil works, we can appreciate this incredible resource and learn how to protect it.
World Wildlife Conservation Day takes place every year on December 4, and it reminds us how important it is to protect the amazing animals we share our planet with. Many species are endangered because of wildlife crime, which includes poaching, the illegal pet trade, and the destruction of habitats.
