Ways you can help the environment!!

1. Save electricity as much as possible You can do this by : - Turning off the lights when you don't need to use them - Unplug or turn off electronic devices when you are not using them - Change your light bulb to a LED one because they are cheaper in the long run and use up to 80% less energy

ENVIRONMENTAL WAYS

Electricity comes from the power plant. Most of the electricity generated by the power plants is from burning coal and fuel. When burning coal and fuel, it emits carbon dioxide which is one of the greenhouse gases and this causes pollution and increases global warming. So, by using less electricity means that the power plant make less electricity for us to use

SOCIAL WAYS

3. Spread it on social media Social media is a place where you can spread information to a lot of people quickly and easily. - Share articles to educate your friends - Tell your followers to reshare so that it will reach more people You can use social media to make friends with other kids with similar goal as you to help prevent climate change

1. Tell your friends and family. LET THEM KNOW!! Spread the word so that more people are more aware of it and take part to help prevent climate change. Climate change is getting worse and we need to take action now before it is too late.

Telling someone close to you like your friends and family is one of the ways to spread the word quickly.

RECYCLE MORE!! You can do this by: - Sort out your garbage - Separate your garbage into 3 sections. Plastic, Paper, and Metal - Throw your plastic bottles into a recycle bin if you see one

You can save around 2,400 pounds of carbon dioxide by recycling your waste at home. Recycling helps the environment because we are not using new materials to create new products, but instead, we are re-using something that we don't need anymore to make a new product. This also means that there is less waste around the world.

2. Start a recycling program at school to raise awareness You can start a group or make a club to do events and spread it around the school so more people will be more interested and join you to help you. Ways you can let people know about recycling is to hang posters around the school to raise awareness and also ask the school to build recycling bins if your school don't have one.

2. Reduce water waste You can do this by: - taking short showers - use less hot water - turn off the water when not using like turn off the tap while brushing your teeth

It is important to save water because it saves energy. It takes a lot of energy to pump, heat, filter, and pump water to your home. Reducing the use of water also reduces your carbon footprint. This also helps with saving the animals because animals like otters, water voles, herons and fish have fresh water to live in.
