Day 5

Tell us three things that you could do to help save the planet

Activity 1:

• Save electricity

• Save Water

• Children love to draw to make them busy but they waste a lot of papers, and if this continues then trees would be halfway chopped down. Well my solution is if you already drawn a picture and you have another Idea for another paper reuse the previous paper and draw at the back. This makes your parents money more relaxed.

List the three animals that you have chosen and then compare and contrast them

Activity 2:

I would love to adopt a dog or a cat.

3. What is one thing that concerned or upset you? I was upset that our native animals and other are endangered because they are being killed by predators or plastic.

4. What is one thing that you (or your family) can do, moving forward, to help protect our natural environment?

As I heard a loud thump outside my window I rushed down stairs, we lived near a forest so basically we get a lot of loud noises but not like this. As I opened the door my hands was sweaty, my legs turned into jello I thought I was about to see a ghost trying to rome my house but instead there was a acid rain storm as I turned my head to the forest direction I assumed the acid rain was harmful as it destroyed the forest, as the acid rain storm finished there wasn’t even a single tree I was so frightened that I thought our house going to melt down. I even saw a bird flapping for his life.
