Pete妈妈

4月22日是世界地球日，带着孩子一起学习、了解如何保护地球、保护我们的家园🌍。

世界地球日是为了保护世界环境而设立的节日，起源于美国。1970年的4月22日，美国第一次举行了大规模的‘地球日’活动，人们通过集会、游行、宣讲等方式，呼吁所有人都行动起来，保护地球。这次活动促使美国政府采取了一些治理环境污染的措施。到了1990年4月22日，全世界有140多个国家开始举行多种多样的环境保护宣传活动，从此‘地球日’成为了‘世界地球日’。

每年的4月22日是世界地球日（Earth Day），世界地球日是一个专为世界环境保护而设立的节日，旨在提高民众对于现有环境问题的意识，并动员民众参与到环保运动中，通过绿色低碳生活，改善地球的整体环境。

April 22 is World Earth Day。The first World Earth Day was establishde in 1970. Since then, our population has grown by more than 4 billion. 38% of the earth's surface is used to produce food. However, the distribution of food is uneven. 10% of the world's people are still hungry. According to the report of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, 17-18 million tons of food was wasted, which is the food for 30-50 million people. Food will be wasted in transportation, processing and sales. Sustainable development is essential to our action. Reasonable order and the rational shopping. You can eat leftovers that don't affect your health. There are eight billion people in the world. If each of us can make it. What will happen to the world？

Care of the Earth

The Earth is our home. We must take care of it. We care for our homes by keeping them clean.

So, how do we keep them clean? We have to deal with our waste in a wise way.

Waste is everything that we can't use. we throw it away. Plastic bottles, soda cans, banana peels are all waste.

What can we do about them? There are three things we can do about them, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.

Reduce means to make less.

We can use less of the things that don't break down easily and quickly. We can borrow something that we need for a short time, we don't have to buy it. We can walk or ride a bus instead of going in a car. Or we can ride with someone else. We can use regular plates and cups. We can avoid using paper and plastic ones. We can use our own shopping bags. We don't have to use plastic. Plastic bags take hundreds of years to break down.

Reuse means to use again.

We can fix things instead of throwing them away. If we are using something, we can alway give it to someone else. We can give away our old toys and clothes. Cans, boxes and plastic containers can be reused. We can use them to keep things in. We can put our lunches in containers, not plastic bags.

Recycle means to use something old to make someting else.

Old cans make new cans. Old papers make new papers. Old plastic make new toys. We can buy things that made of recycle materials.

Let us now drag these waste to their suitable containers.

Recycling Bin, the trash can or the compost bin.

The rotten fruits and tomato should be taken into the compost bin.

The diaper and pen go to the trash can.

Newspaper, bottle and soda can go to the recycling bin.

接着放松一下，玩一下迷宫和控笔

活动3: 来看一下我们还可以做什么帮助保护地球？

What are other ways to care of our earth?

We can save our natural resources.

These are the things that nature we use. We use water, food, air, plants, and energy. What are the ways we can save them? You can save water when you take a shower. Try to use less water. Turn the water off when you are not using it. You can collect the rain water with rain buckets. Use it for watering a garden. Use it for washing things outside.

We can plant a garden to help the earth.

We can make compost for our gardens. That means collecting the plant materials you don't use. Compost help your garden soil. You can collect banana peels, apple cores and other things in a bucket, and mix it into the soil. Worms will help break these things down. Worms are nature's recyclers.

Did you know that trees help clean the air?

Trees give us oxygen the gas we need to breathe. Trees take carbon dioxide which is not good for us. Paper comes from trees. We can use less paper. We can use both sides of a paper. This will help save some trees.

We can save energy in many ways.

We can turn off lights when not needed.

We can turn off TVs and computers when no one is using them.

There are many ways you can help to take care of the earth.

You are the earth most important natural resource.
