What Will You Do When You Go On Break?

As I mentioned in the previous newsletter, we all do different things to keep our environment safe and clean We have less than a week to go until the break, so we should start to think about the things we can do to help the environment while we are on break I did a survey asking students, "What actions do you plan to take to help the environment over break?"

“As an average-living-standard high school student, I have limited opportunities and chances towards doing so Yet I am still going to try my absolute best with the things I have available. Including gardening plants like fruits, vegetables, and others my father has planted in the past, as well as working on a way that the society around the neighborhood can clean the surroundings. These might seem like silly little things, but don’t forget that an ocean is the accumulation of drops."

"Whoever wants to reach a distant goal must take small steps," said Saul Bellow, and I think, not only for me but for all of us, this break is the time to take small steps, starting with us and our families. As I mentioned before, we can bring a big change to our world by putting in a little bit of effort every time I want everyone to understand that we can do a lot of things during our break in a short amount of time. That is why I am planning to take tiny steps this break by working on creating awareness for those who are around me, and to show them at least one way of managing waste at home. I will also be working on developing plans that I am thinking of doing next season I hope everyone will work on this and make protecting our environment a priority."
