- Family Time Correspond­ent Sign up at cartoonnet­work climatecha­mpions.com/engb/ and become a Cartoon Network climate champion

COULD you be a climate superhero? Join your favourite characters and take some Cartoon Network Climate Champions challenges.

There are lots to choose from and every task you complete will help the planet. You’ll have plenty of fun, too.

The specially designed daily challenges, tested by kids for kids, are crafted to motivate young people to make changes at home, at school and in their local communitie­s, positively impacting the environmen­t.

Challenges include Bag Up Your Bags which inspires kids to craft a plastic bag holder to ensure they are re-used rather than thrown away, and Make it Rain!, encouragin­g them to take a shower instead of a bath.

To date, over 1.5 million climate challenges have been accepted! Here are a few of our favourites…

VEGGIE DAY

Speak to your parents or guardians and see if you can have a meat-free meal this week and enjoy some delicious veggies.

Did you know that some vegetables are a higher source of protein per calorie than meat?

LIBRARIES RULE

Find your local library and sign up to borrow books instead of buying new.

The more we can reuse instead of buying new things, the better for the planet.

DRAW YOUR OWN EARTH HERO

Why not design your own eco-superhero? Be sure to include their planetfrie­ndly superpower­s. Then ask your friends to do the same and create a superhero team focused on saving the planet.

UNPLUG ON SATURDAYS

Can you challenge yourself to only use your electronic­s for one hour on Saturday? You’ll save energy and find new ways to have fun at the same time.

HAPPY FEET

Feel even better about the difference you’re making to the planet by inventing a dance to celebrate. Dancing helps your body release feel-good endorphins into your bloodstrea­m, making you feel even happier. It’s good exercise too.

STAYCATION TIME

There are loads of amazing places to explore where you live and you don’t need a plane to get there!

Look up some interestin­g places in your local area that you can get to by walking, cycling or public transport.

ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE

List all of the reasons you’re grateful for the planet and what it provides for you.

Decorate your list and put it somewhere in your room as a reminder to complete more challenges.
