How we are damaging our planet. How different materials are recycled or reused. How at local, national and international level, we are taking steps to look after our planet. What will happen to our planet if we don’t look after it. How will I learn?

Make contact with my local council to find out how they encourage citizens to look after our environment. Invite contact to my school to talk to pupils at our school assembly. Interview contact to find out their views on the success of the approaches taken. Carry out a survey of local residents to find out how involved they are in looking after their environment.
