BE YOU
WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL, I USED TO ALWAYS ARRIVE EARLY BECAUSE I WAS USED TO IT, I ALSO ALWAYS USED TO BE IN A TIGHT UNIFORM AND WALK AROUND WITH MY CAP ON EVEN INSIDE THE CLASSROOM. I LIKED TALKING DURING RECESS WITH MY TEAMMATES AND FRIENDS, AND JUDGING FOOTBALL WITH THEM. WE PLAYED BEFORE EVEN ENTERING THE FIRST CLASS.
ECO ACTIONS TO REDUCE HARMFUL EFFECTS ON THE ENVIRONMENT
IF EVERYONE CUT DOWN ON SINGLE-USE PLASTICS, WE COULD SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE PLASTIC POLLUTION IN OUR OCEANS.
IF MORE PEOPLE PITCHED IN TO CLEAN UP LOCAL PARKS AND BEACHES, WE WOULD HAVE CLEANER AND HEALTHIER OUTDOOR SPACES FOR EVERYONE TO ENJOY.
IF INDIVIDUALS SWITCHED TO RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES
LIKE SOLAR OR WIND POWER, WE COULD REDUCE OUR RELIANCE ON FOSSIL FUELS AND COMBAT CLIMATE CHANGE.
BE GREEN
IF BUSINESSES INVESTED IN GREEN TECHNOLOGIES AND PRACTICES, WE COULD CREATE A MORE SUSTAINABLE ECONOMY THAT PRIORITIZES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION.
IF MORE PEOPLE REUSED AND REPURPOSED ITEMS INSTEAD OF BUYING NEW ONES, WE COULD REDUCE WASTE AND CONSERVE VALUABLE RESOURCES.
IF COMMUNITIES BANDED TOGETHER TO PLANT TREES AND RESTORE NATURAL HABITATS, WE COULD MITIGATE THE EFFECTS OF DEFORESTATION AND BIODIVERSITY LOSS.
