What you can do to help the environment

Our everyday lives and activities have an impact on the environment.  We can determine how much of an impact we have by being responsible in the way we do things!  Here are some of the simple things you can do to help our environment...

 

Wash the car on the lawn or at a car wash to stop soapy water going down the drains and into the sea!

 

Put on a jumper to stay warm instead of turning on extra heating. This helps to save energy!

 

 

Plant a native tree at home or in the community. These absorb CO2 and help to protect biodiversity!

 

 

Turn off the tap while washing teeth your to save water!

 

Start a worm bin or compost for food scraps and garden clippings. This reduces the amount of waste going to landfill and will provide nutrients for the garden!
