WHAT YOU CAN DO？

Join a group who are trying to stop pollution

Recycle as much 'waste' as you can. Or don't buy stuff which becomes waste (like packaging from takeaway food). You can use real plates made of china and forks made of steel thousands of times. Plastic plates and cutlery last once and then become waste

WHAT YOU CAN DO？ If you want to go somewhere, try

and walk or use a bicycle. Cars are big polluters.

Buying local foods means almost no transport is needed .

Try and get organic food. Organic food does not contain any kind of pesticide or use chemicals that harm the land, air or water. Animals raised in organic farms are treated more kindly than in factory farms

WHAT YOU CAN DO？ Try and avoid processed food and

drink. Use fresh food whenever you can and don't eat out so much.

Grow your own vegetables. You don't need much space. You can even grow things in pots on the window ledge or in a sunny spot inside

WHAT YOU CAN DO？

If you have space, make compost from waste food (vegetable peelings and so on). Worms eat all this rotting stuff and make it into a sort of rich soil, very good for plants

WHAT YOU CAN DO？

Don't buy things that you don't need or that you end up throwing away in a couple of weeks
