Biodiversity is the difference between all living things on earth.  When you look around you at the natural world; you will find that very few things are EXACTLY alike.

But, biodiversity is being threatened.  You can help by:

• saving energy
• recycling and reusing
• being a smart shopper
• investigating your area
• using efficient transportation
• don't buy things made from endangered animals
