The document discusses six things the author learned from an environmental educational adventure. They learned about their ecological footprint and how much of the Earth's resources they use individually; about invasive species and how to prevent their spread; and that water resources are limited and conservation is important. The author also discusses the potential of wind power as an energy source and current oil reserves. They provide six ways for readers to help the environment, such as using energy-efficient light bulbs, conserving resources, recycling, stopping mountain-top removal, reducing gasoline use, and educating others.
