Come to an adventure with the Little Penguin and Giraffina and know more about how to help our Earth Mother! 

Climate Change

The little penguin is raising her hands highly! She is really excited to share her ideas to protect mother Earth. There are many things that little penguin feels she could do.

"We can remember to off the lights when leaving a room, " says the little penguin, "same for the fan, air-conditioner, and the water tap could waste many resources as well if we keep it opened."

On their way to school, Giraffina sees a little boy planting a tree with his parents. Giraffina asks her mom, "Mummy, does planting trees help with climate change too?" Mummy giraffe nods, "yes darling, definitely. Trees are important soldiers in fighting climate change. They take in many bad gases like Carbon Dioxide, the main cause of climate change. The more trees we plant, more harmful gases are absorbed. We can find a day to go plant a tree together with daddy and your friends." Giraffina is really happy to hear that, doing something useful to the environment with her loved ones.

I should have said that in little penguin's house!

This poster makes Giraffina think of Mummy Polar Bear's question. She starts to think: hmm... Recycling is another way to help our Earth mother, with climate change! Same as switching off lights, recycling saves energy and lesser fossil fuel is needed!

The video is OVER ! Do you find it interesting? Now, here comes the mummy polar bear, she wants to ask you a question:

From the video by Dr. Salad, we know that many challenges are faced by the Earth. So, Is there anything that you can do to help our Earth Mother?

Mummy Bear found a Youtube channel By Dr. Salad, a famous scientist, talking about the environment. She then calls little penguin and her friends to watch it together, to know more about the climate. Now children, let's watch this interesting video with them together!

One day, a little penguin asks her polar bear mother a question, "Mummy, what is Climate Change?" She remembers Teacher talking about it during swimming class, but she could not understand the meaning of it.

After saying 'bye-bye' to the little penguin, Giraffina is on her way home. She has a habit to look at the notice board every day to check the launch time of her favorite carrot cake by Mama's Bakery.

But today, on the notice board, she sees another poster that attracts her attention:

The next day, Giraffina is going to school with her mom for a parents' meeting. They walk to the garage and mummy giraffe says, "Today, we will take the bus to school. " Giraffina is confused. "But mummy, our car is right here."

Mummy giraffe looks down at her, "baby, because taking public transportation helps our environment. With lesser energy used, lesser carbon dioxide and pollution are produced, meaning it helps with the climate change happening to our Earth. Or, if you want, we can go to school by bicycle! We can do something to help the Earth and get to exercise at the same time, isn't that great? "

Now, the adventure with the Little Penguin and Giraffina has come to the end. Children, let's all do our part and make our Earth a better place !

CO  , is another way to call "Carbon Dioxide", which is one of the bad greenhouse gases that make our Earth warmer and warmer

"Well done little penguin! " Mummy bear says, "switching off things that we don't use is a way good way to save energy. Remember what Dr. Salad said? Climate Change is caused by more harmful greenhouse gases coming to the Earth and changing the temperature here. Saving up energy helps our Earth to reduce these bad gases !"

Mummy Bear is very happy seeing little penguin is willing to learn something about the Earth. As you can see, their house is getting smaller and smaller!

She wants the little penguin and all their friends to know the importance of Earth protection, she throws a bubble and puts the meaning of Climate Change inside:

Climate change is the long-term changes in temperatures of the whole world.

On the playground beside her house, Giraffina sees some human friends are picking up trash. This makes her think of saving the Earth. "I can do that together with my friends too. Oh! I can call mummy and daddy to join us! "

Giraffina is right! Picking up trash in our community not only helps clean up our environment but also, it is helpful in climate change. For example, with every metal can that we pick up and recycle, the amount of energy produced is able to run our television for three hours! That is a lot!
