Step 2 Activities
As part of the B the Change Patch Step 2,
please complete both Activities below.Â
Be creative.
Activity 3 - Think About How to Solve the Problem
Choose one of the problems that your group identified – how can you improve the situation or make it better? Create a chart/poster to help define the problems and/or obstacles, including how to improve the situation or find a solution.
Activity 4 - Do Good in your Community
Now that your group has identified a problem in the community – take action! For example, you can partner with a local pet store to hold a pet food drive to support your local animal shelter, participate in a local Walk-A-Thon to help support a medical or community need, or collect clothing and other household items to donate to a local thrift store. Any small action you take can have a big impact on your community. Don’t forget to share your good work on social media using #BTheChangePatch after you get your parent’s permission.
Activity 4 Applied to Unite for Earth Day 2022 -
Let's do a Spring Clean-up at the Orono Nature Center
After the cold weather, the Orono Nature Center is in need of a Spring Clean-up. Our community uses it for classes, activities, sports, and leisure. Some areas we could do for cleanup during Unite for Earth Day 2022 include:
​
• Pick up trash
• Clear pathways of debris and brush
• Tighten bolts and ropes on benches and railings
• Pick up downed limbs, but leave the ones animals may use
• Stack appropriate limbs/sticks for using during classes for shelters
• Stack firewood for the firepit at the learning circle
• Remove invasive Buckthorn plants
• Appropriately clear areas for viewing and observation areas
• Adults may carefully remove dangerous limbs which could fall on people & animals
