People are throwing rubbish on beaches and roads so basically treat our world like a rubbish tip - but they don’t realise that animals could get injured by rubbish. For example, plastic can holders that are in the oceans could strangle sea creatures, and also cats and dogs could get their heads stuck in cardboard tubes (like a pringles tube!) or anything else that we casually throw away.

We live in a world where we want to constantly share images on social media – wouldn’t it be great if we were sharing pictures of a lovely clean planet! So if you want to save the world, and make it a better place for us all to live, and save animals from getting hurt, start by upcycling and putting rubbish in bins and recycling!

Up-Cycling

If you’re feeling creative, you could start by upcycling things to decorate your room or house.

Here is a list of ideas that you could try…

1.5-minute Baby and Toddler Leggings

3.Create a Sewing Kit from a glasses Case

4.Reinvent Toilet Paper Rolls as Art

How I feel about the environment……

The way I feel about the environment is that I don’t like it when people chuck rubbish on beaches or on roads like they a rubbish tips - use your bins people! Or recycle! Or do something creative like up cycling. I also think the world could be a good and safer place without rubbish and animals getting hurt.
