In our classroom, we can do a lot to help the environment. These small changes not only help the planet
but also teach us to be responsible and aware. Let's look at some examples.
This poster on the wall is made from recycled paper. Using recycled materials is important because it
helps reduce the amount of waste we produce. Additionally, these water bottles are reusable and much
better than disposable plastic bottles. We can fill these bottles over and over, reducing the amount of
plastic we use and throw away.
That light on the ceiling is an LED light. LED lights use less energy than traditional bulbs, which helps
save electricity. When we leave the classroom, we always turn off those lights to avoid wasting energy.
Those bins in the corner are for recycling paper, plastic, and glass. Separating trash and recycling is an
easy way to help the environment. If we all use those bins, we can reduce the amount of waste that goes
to landfills.
These are just a few examples of how we can make our classroom more eco-friendly. Every little effort
counts, and together we can make a big difference.
