everywhere... all over our planet. It makes people, other
animals and plants sick or even kills them. It's even making

11. WHAT YOU CAN DO？
 Join a group who are trying to stop
pollution
 Recycle as much 'waste' as you
can. Or don't buy stuff which
becomes waste (like packaging
from takeaway food). You can use
real plates made of china and forks
made of steel thousands of times.
Plastic plates and cutlery last once
and then become waste

12. WHAT YOU CAN DO？
 If you want to go somewhere, try and
walk or use a bicycle. Cars are big
polluters.

transport is needed .

food does not contain any kind of
pesticide or use chemicals that harm
the land, air or water. Animals raised
in organic farms are treated more
kindly than in factory farms

Use fresh food whenever you can and
don't eat out so much.

need much space. You can even grow
things in pots on the window ledge or in
a sunny spot inside

14. WHAT YOU CAN DO？
 If you have space, make compost from waste food
(vegetable peelings and so on). Worms eat all this
rotting stuff and make it into a sort of rich soil, very
good for plants

15. WHAT YOU CAN DO？
 Don't buy things that you don't need or that you end
up throwing away in a couple of weeks
