💚 When you help the Earth, you’re also helping your mental health.💚

Here’s how you can take care of the 🌎 and your 🧠 today:
✨ Pick up trash around your school or neighborhood
🌳 Plant something green—even a little flower counts!
🚲 Ride your bike instead of asking for a ride
🌞 Get outside and feel the sunshine
🎧 Take a break from screens and chill with nature sounds or music

This 4/20, remember: Most teens aren’t using weed and you don’t have to either.

Saying no doesn’t have to be a big deal. Try one of these lines:
🙅‍♀️ “Nah, that’s not my thing”
👃 “No thanks, the smell bugs me”
🏀 “I’ve got a game tomorrow”
👍 “I’m good, thanks though”

Whatever your reason, it’s cool to say no.

Edibles can look like regular candy and one small mistake can lead to a medical emergency.

🚨 Keep THC products locked up and out of sight.
🚨 Never store edibles near real snacks.
🚨 Read labels carefully.
🚨 Talk as a family about how to spot lookalike products.

❤ Knowledge = safety. Let’s protect our kids and friends.
