In this episode, Simon emphasized the importance of caring for our environment and to do our part to help preserve it for future generations. We thought a great challenge for you Big Dreamers this week would be a trash clean-up. Each day this week, my parents and I will be going outside and picking up at least 10 pieces of trash each. That’s 30 pieces of trash and 210 total for the entire week that we’ll be removing from our streets. To inspire you to complete this challenge, we even created this fun download that you can customize with your face and name, and it is 100% free to download. Click here to claim you free download.

If you complete this challenge, please let Olga know by emailing her at [email protected]. You will be entered into a drawing for a $50 Amazon Gift card and 1-month free membership in Post Pal Club.  Winners are selected monthly and contacted by email (as well as announced on our show!).
