            #Waste Management!

              If we want to live on a sustainable planet we need to comply with the 3R’s rule
              (Reduce-Reuse-Recycle) to save the environment.

                  Reduce : cut down the trash we generate

                  Reuse: use things that would have been thrown out
                  Recycle : turn something old and useless into something useful

              A.   Activity 1
                  Dry waste is a waste that does not decay, such as paper, glass, thermocol, rubber, metal, cloth,
                  empty bottles, stationeries, cardboard, food packaging material, etc.
                    Do not throw any dry waste into the dustbin, but instead store it for a week. You may store it in
                  a designated box or bin. At the end of the week, measure the amount of waste stored by each
                  student or each classroom.

              B.   Activity 2
                    Composting is a simple and effective way to recycle food and other organic waste. It provides a
                  range of environmental benefits: strengthens soil and promotes healthy plant growth, feeds the
                  tiny plants with essential nutrients, reduces soil erosion, etc.
                  Set-up a compost pit.

                  1.   Dig a hole (about 1 ft) for your compost pit. You may also
                     use a big container.
                  2.  Chop your compost materials finely.
                  3.   Make sure your carbon-rich  materials (like  paper and
                     dried leaves) are mixed thoroughly with your nitrogen-rich
                     materials (like vegetable scraps).
                  4.  Cover the hole with a board if you plan to add more to it.
                  5.  Cover your compost with soil when full.

              C.   Write two ways you think can reduce waste.




                 What is Sustainable Development?
                    The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted by all United Nations Member States in
                2015 to end poverty, reduce inequality and build more peaceful, prosperous societies by 2030 are there to
                empower globally.
                    Practicing sustainability empowers children to explore values and develop respect towards Nature, laying
                the foundation for an environmentally responsible adulthood in the next future.
