The latest episode of Take Care with Peanuts, titled “Choose to Reuse,” depicts Snoopy collecting recyclable household items to build Woodstock a new birdhouse as an Earth Day celebration.
Now streaming on GoNoodle.com, “Choose to Reuse” is the fourth episode of the Take Care with Peanuts series and starts with Woodstock realizing his nest has gotten too crowded, leaving him with no room to sit down and chill with his friends. Throughout the mini-episode, his friend Snoopy goes around collecting various recyclable items from Charlie Brown and friends, such as a cookie box from Violet, a plastic bottle from Peppermint Patty, a juice carton from Linus and a popcorn bag from Sally, Charlie Brown’s little sister.

The last item Snoopy collects is Lucy’s milk carton, before the latter has finished drinking her milk. In true Lucy fashion, she gets annoyed with Charlie Brown’s famous beagle and asks, “Charlie Brown, what is that dog of yours doing with all that garbage?” Charlie Brown very calmly replies, “He’s helping the environment and making a difference.” To the pleasant surprise of both, Snoopy has created a small birdhouse with individual apartments for Woodstock and friends.
Consistent with the Take Care with Peanuts initiative that offers creative ideas for people to “reuse, reduce and recycle,” the episode was made as part of the upcoming Earth Day celebration on April 22 with the overarching message, “Take care of yourself, take care of your friends and take care of the Earth.”
Accompanying the video is a fun family activity that encourages children to “reduce waste and conserve nature” by repurposing various recyclable household items into something useful such as a birdhouse for backyard birds. The activity includes a list of items needed, as well as a set of instructions for how to make a birdhouse with these items. The activity is available for free download in the US on the GoNoodle website.
Following the US release, “Choose to Reuse” will also be released worldwide on Peanuts’ international YouTube channels in 10 different languages. The family activity sheet will also be available for free download in 11 different languages, including English.
Take Care with Peanuts is a sponsored monthly web series that showcases themes of wellness, community and environmental engagement from Charles Schulz’s famous comic strip and comes with educational activities that follow the philanthropic outreach and social messaging of the comic. All episodes and related activities are available for free on GoNoodle.com.
