Here's a story for kindergarten students about Ecofriendly Habits:

Bobby's Green Adventure

Bobby the bear loved playing outside in the forest. One day, he noticed that the forest was filled with trash!

Bobby decided to do something to help. He started picking up the trash and putting it into a big bag.

As he was cleaning, his friend Rocky the squirrel came by. "What are you doing, Bobby?" Rocky asked.

"I'm cleaning up the forest," Bobby said. "We need to take care of our home."

Rocky wanted to help, so together they picked up all the trash. Then, they planted some beautiful flowers and trees.

The forest looked amazing! Bobby and Rocky felt proud of themselves for taking care of the Earth.

From that day on, Bobby and Rocky made sure to reduce, reuse, and recycle. They turned off lights and water when not in use, and they walked or biked instead of driving.

Bobby and Rocky proved that even small actions can make a big difference in taking care of our planet!
