"TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF AND PLANET EARTH WILL BE SAFE TOO"

Sometimes we do not realize that the actions we do on a daily basis can go against our health, that of our family members and the world in general.

Doing this research, I learned that something that seems insignificant can over time cause damage to the planet, our great house. Therefore, I started collaborating with the good management of solid waste in my home.

For that I prepared three garbage bags and identified them with three colors of foamy and some images so as not to get confused. The gray, to separate paper or cardboard; blue, for plastic; black, for glass. To find out how much waste we have, I did my research during three weeks.

 

        

    
  
              

 

The first week I collected little waste.

In the second one, they were increasing. In this way I realized that we must avoid the use of many of these products that in the long term affect the life of our planet.

My mother explained to me that the work I was doing also helped some people who work collecting waste that is recycled or reused.

 

 

 

 

I felt useful helping to take care of the planet.

 

 

Third Week

By continuing to research on different internet sites about the damage caused to the planet by solid waste that is dumped everywhere, I understood that we can all collaborate. That is why in my school we are working with interdisciplinary projects that aim to encourage everyone to seek daily practices on caring for the planet.

 

 

 

 

This is related to the healthy habits that we must have every day. For example, in this time of a pandemic, I suggest practicing healthy lifestyle habits, such as:

    Staying home so as not to be near crowds that can infect us.

    You can buy fruits to prepare juices and use the containers that we have at home when we have to consume it and not have to be buying juices or in plastic, cardboard or glass.

    In the case of going shopping, our parents can also use ecological covers and avoid plastic covers.

    We can save more energy, water, because even if we are at home and we think that it consumes more, we can be aware of not leaving neither light on unnecessarily, nor open taps when we are using the water.

    During this time that I have not had to go to the classroom, I have taken the opportunity to go to the park by bike or walking. I used to do it in my dad's car. But also, on this issue we must become aware. The main effect on the environment that the use of the car has is the emission of greenhouse gases.

   

Plant in the gardens or plant pots. That helps oxygenate the environment.

OTHER THINGS WE CAN DO TO TAKE CARE OF  THE PLANET  IN ADDITION TO SEPARATING WASTE ARE :

• ·        Clean up our community.
• ·        Use long-lasting light bulbs
• ·        Shop wisely
• ·        Make blogs like this to persuade people in the Earth planet´s caring.
• ·        Getting regular exercises and eat healthy
• ·        In case of adult people, avoid smoking.

            Concluding my research , I can say that , simple everyday actions that we can adopt at home can make the difference and contribute to the safeguard of the Earth.
