How Kids Can Help Protect the Great Barrier Reef

Kids can play an important role in helping to protect the Great Barrier Reef and the environment. One way is by reducing plastic use. Using reusable water bottles and bags instead of single-use plastics helps keep the oceans clean. 

 

Saving energy at home by turning off lights and unplugging devices when not in use can help fight climate change. Kids can also learn about the reef and share what they learn with friends and family. This spreads awareness about why the reef is important. Participating in local beach or park clean-ups helps protect all environments. Choosing eco-friendly products and recycling properly are other great ways to help. Even small actions, when done by many people, can make a big difference. By taking these steps, kids can help ensure the Great Barrier Reef remains healthy for future generations to enjoy.
