Caring for Our Environment
The environment provides us with air, water, food, and shelter. Human activities like pollution, deforestation, and littering are damaging the environment. Climate change is causing droughts, floods, and extreme weather.
Example
Taking Action
Reduce: use less electricity and water. Reuse: use containers and bags again. Recycle: separate waste into recyclable materials. Plant trees and start gardens. Report illegal dumping.
Note
Remember
South Africa is one of the most biodiverse countries in the world. We have unique plants and animals found nowhere else. Protecting our environment means protecting our heritage and our future.
