Environment

We live in a consumer society. We do not maintain


our things. We throw them and replace them with
brand new ones. The over-consumption leads to
the depletion of natural resources
● The ever increasing industrial activity results in air
pollution and global warming
● Many factories discard their waste in local rivers and
lakes in order to reduce the cost of their products;
as a result the pollute the freshwater resources and
poison all the food chain
● We need to take action from an early age to raise
young people's awareness of environmental
issues
● We have to organise local actions so as to have as
more citizens as possible involved
● Think globally, act locally!
● Schools can organise 'plant a tree campaigns'
● People of all ages can participate in a beach
cleaning event
● Carpooling brings neighbours together and
strengthens their social bonds
● Public transportation is the most cost effective way to
commute
● Small everyday green habits (like walking to school,
or recycling all the paper we use) can have a huge
beneficial impact on the environment
● Follow the three 'R” advice: Recycle, Reuse,
Reduce
