Let’s Learn About it!
Why Re-Invent the Wheel? When we can learn from it! There are so many great websites about Reducing, Reusing, and Recycling already – that the Helping Ninjas think are very helpful and key to helping us educate our children on important topics such as reusing, recycling and reducing. There are so many cool things for children (and some adults too) to see, and contain oodles and oodles of facts, articles, photos and videos – all of which are great tools to learn from and very much needed to teach!! Let’s take advantage of the available information!
The following are videos and links to sites with information that the Helping Ninjas think are worth visiting and will help aide you in completing Helping Ninja Missions or hosting Helping Ninja Socials!
