Inside the house, start your own recycling centre, collecting materials that can be recycled. Reuse carrier bags, switch off electrical items when they’re not in use, and don’t leave taps dripping. Outside, get composting, and grow your own organic vegetables.
Amazing! Even an alien would think Earth needs caring for. That’s because there are 100,000 pieces of space junk whizzing around the planet.
What can I do at school?
If your school has a Green Club, join it. If it doesn’t, ask if one can be started. As at home, switch off lights when they’re not in use, and collect paper, cans and glass for recycling. Walk or cycle to school. Try to use cars less.
Is it true? You can make a difference.
Yes. Imagine if everyone in your class, your street, even your town recycled things. What a difference that would make!
How can I find out more?
If you would like to help make the Earth a better, safer place to live, now and in the future, you might like to join groups such as Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth or World Wide Fund for Nature. Your library will have their addresses.
