Tu B'Shevat is an important time to discuss how we as individuals, friends, and families can help
care for the Earth. This Ecology List includes many of the things people do to care for the Earth.
Read
though the list and describe how each item takes care of the Earth. Next, put a
check next to all of the things that you already do. Finally put a star next to
things that your family can begin to do as a Tu B'Shevat resolution this year,
5778.
And of course, Close/Conclude by singing "Happy Birthday" to the trees.
