English PT3 Part 2 – Theme: Environment

The first activity is to learn more about the environment. Earth Day is a good
time to make a commitment to learn more about the environment and how we can
help to protect it. Read up on an issue such as pollution, endangered species, water
shortages, recycling and climate change. Alternatively, learn about a region you have
never encountered before, like the Arctic, the desert or the rainforest. Then give a
short presentation to your class to share what you have learnt.
The next activity is to cook a special Earth Day meal. Plan a menu that introduces
locally produced food which is healthy and has minimal impact on the environment.
Use vegetable and bean products as these use less resources to grow. If you would
like to eat meat, look for locally-produced organic meat.
Lastly, look into your closets and cupboards, and remove the things that are
no longer useful to you. By giving away your old toys to younger children, you will
learn two lessons. One is about giving to others and the second is about reusing and
recycling instead of discarding things. Encourage your parents to do the same with
their clothes, electrical appliances and books.
Every one of us can do something to help the planet on Earth Day. Although our
individual efforts may seem like a drop in the ocean, everything we do to help the
planet counts, such as opting to walk to school or helping to clean up litter from our
neighbourhood park! Thank you.
