Where did we begin and where do we want to go? How do we work together to celebrate our shared stories? What can we imagine for our future? As we all share this wonderful planet, how can we work together to look after it?

  • Here’s the science:

    Many animals and plants are threatened by human actions, such as deforestation, hunting, pollution, climate change and disease. Acting now can protect them and help make sure they don’t disappear forever. Humans create a lot of waste! Reduce, reuse, and recycle – these are ways we can help towards a sustainable future. Reducing waste, reusing items, and recycling materials lessens the strain on natural resources, reduces pollution, and combats climate change. 

The Future of Our Planet

We need to think about how we can treat the planet better by changing how we live. After all, we depend on our planet for everything. Scientists call this sustainable living. This picture shows you how a sustainable home may look.
