We have a uniquely beautiful world, thus surely it would make sense to preserve it for future generations to enjoy as we do. Landfill sites that are used for dumping ever increasing amounts of domestic rubbish cannot last forever...and nobody wants such a site on their backdoor.
Consider how much rubbish your household produces in one week.
Pollution causes unexpected and sometimes serious and devastating changes in our land, river and sea environments. Pollution can kill animals and plants and it probably kills us too. We know that pollution can cause health problems such as respiratory illnesses.
Let's stop polluting and clean up our world.
Help to reduce pollution and waste by:
Reusing things that are still good to use. Fix things or get things fixed. Learn how things are made to help you to do this. It's informative, interesting and it can be a lot of fun!
Recyle your unwanted phones and gadgets. There are websites that allow you to recycle your mobile phone and you can even receive money for doing so! Recycling saves natural resources, reduces land pollution and also air pollution as many products require more energy to produce them than to recycle them. This energy is often provided by carbon-emitting fossil fuels so by using less of those there is an indirect benefit in acting to prevent global warming.
Most of us like computer games and own a computer console. We all like to upgrade sometimes too. If you have an old gaming console and games that you no longer use then why not see if you can recycle your gaming console and games for cash payments, and allow it to be reused and recyled. Receiving a fee or recycling seems a very good incentive to not throw away something valuable and still usable.
