I chose this picture of a dog with care instructions on his collar because it really made me think about how there are many people who do not know how to properly care for animals and how animal care is so closely connected to care and respect for our environment. It is so important for children to learn how to care for animals at a young age because it helps to teach them respect and empathy. It also teaches them how to respect and care for the environment because animals are a part of nature and teaches children how to nurture and help nature grow. I incorporated plants into the remix because plants also need care and nurturing and it is important that children learn how to grow plants and vegetables so they can see that they are a part of nature and they can help make things grow in their environment.
