We live in a wonderful world, full of life, full of color, full of beauty. But, in recent years our world is being devastated by hurricane, earthquakes, floods and droughts.
What does the future hold for planet earth? The place we all call home.
Climate change could destroy the world that we live in. Scientist predicts that within 50 years, many parts of our world will be under 20 cm. of water.
We can prevent these, if we all work together.
There is still time for us to save our world. Solar panels, wind farms, and underwater turbines has been used to produce renewable energy. These resources can be use again and again. And there are still more things that we can be doing. Things that you and your family can do together.
You can reduce the amount of waste you produce. This can be done by being more resourceful with the things that you use and buy. You and your family can recycle many items in your home. Just look at what you can re use: jars, bottle, bags.
Did you know that 100,000 tons of carrier bags are being thrown away every single year. This is the same weight of 70,000 cars. You and your family can put a stop to this by simply re-using your bags rather than just throwing them away. Many items that you use can be recycled. Cans, bottles, paper, even electrical goods, and food can be recycled. It is important that we don’t just throw these items away.
You used can, can easily become part of a new car. And your used glass bottle can be made into new windows to your home. So, make sure you use a recycle bin every time.
There are many simple things that you and your family can do around your home.
Plant a tree on your garden and watch it grow. Make compost for your leftover food and grow new food. When the weather is nice, hang your clothes outside to dry.
All these things could not only save the environment but can also save your family money.
What we have right now is a chance to preserve our future. Tell your parents, your grandparents, and your friends to do these small things that count. We must take it step by step to make sure that you have a future to grow up with, person by person, family by family, community by community.
Together we can make a difference.
