PROTECT OUR PLANET

Waste, and how we choose to handle it affects to our world's environment, that is YOUR environment, everything that sorrounds you, including the air, water, land, plants and man-made things. And since by now you probably know that you need a healthy environment for your own health and happiness, you can understand why effective waste management is so important to you and everyone else. The waste we create has to be carefully controlled to be sure that it does not harm your environment and your health.

But, what exactly is "waste"? Simply speaking, waste is anything discarded, rejected, abandoned or otherwise released in the environment in a manner (or quantity) that could have an impact on that environment.

How can you help?

You can help by learning about practicing THE THREE R's of waste management.

So, now investigate and tell me:

1. What are those 3 R's?

2. What do they consist of?

3. Make a list of waste products that can be recycled. Sort them by categories: organic, paper, glass...

Natural Disasters

THE POWERFUL FORCES OF NATURE

A natural disaster is the consequence of the combination of a natural hazard (a physical event like a volcanic eruption, an earthquake, a landslide...) and human activities. Only if humans are there where the hazard happens and they have no sufficient emergency management, there will be human losses.

Natural disasters come in many shapes and sizes. Most are related to the weather. Some are predictable, like a hurricane. Some like an earthquake, surprise us. Although disasters themselves aren't fun, learning about them is!
