Preschool Grade Talking Points

- "PJ Masks are superheroes who protect their city from villains, but did you know they can also help protect the environment?"
- "Recycling is an important way to take care of the environment. When we recycle, we give old things new life instead of throwing them away."
- "You can help protect the environment too! Simple things like turning off lights when you leave a room or picking up litter can make a big difference."
- "Just like PJ Masks work together as a team, we can work together to take care of our environment and make the world a better place."
