Stay safe and have a great week!

#EXPLORE: Be inspired by "Guardians of the Planet: 16 Women Environmentalists You Should Know" on amightygirl.com blog, then use recycled materials to make this cute Grass Head project from homemade-gifts-made-easy.com!

Grass Head Project

Celebrate sixteen incredible women who are working to protect the environment and all of the creatures which share our planet. From groundbreaking primatologists to deep-sea explorers to determined activists, each of them has changed the way that we see the world — and our role in protecting it. Equally importantly, these women have shown all of us that we have an effect on the health of our plant: from the smallest decisions of our day-to-day lives to international policy — each of us can make a difference.
