Healthy Environment
Understand how to keep the environment healthy
Keeping Our Environment Healthy
A healthy environment has clean air, clean water, and land that is free of rubbish. When people litter, burn waste, or pollute rivers, it harms plants, animals, and people. We all have a duty to look after the environment.
Example
What You Can Do
Pick up litter at school and put it in the bin. Save water by turning off the tap while brushing your teeth. Plant a tree or start a small garden. Use both sides of paper before recycling it.
Note
Remember
South Africa faces challenges like water shortages and air pollution. Every small action counts — if every learner picks up one piece of litter a day, our schools and communities will be much cleaner.
