THE MONARCH BUTTERFLY GIRLS

ACTION PROJECT

IDENTIFY A PROBLEM: The problem is that many monarch butterflies are dying and there aren't as many butterflies anymore.

BRAINSTORM A SOLUTION: The solution is to plant seeds for milkweed plants so the butterflies have somewhere to lay eggs.

TAKE ACTION THAT WILL LAST: Send out seeds to people to plant and share information about monarch butterflies. If everyone plants seeds, the butterflies will have a lot of choices but if just we plant the seeds, there aren't as many choices.
