Think global, act local
Every year, more and more people share our world. We all need to use the same resources. We all need some land to live on, to grow food on and to keep our animals on. We all need water to drink, to wash with and to grow our crops. We all need fuel to cook with, to keep us warm and to power our factories.
It is therefore very important that the world's resources are used carefully. It is something that we can all help with. We can make a difference to world's problems if we are careful in our own lives- to think global but act local.
One way to do this is to follow the 3Rs approach. The 3Rs are reduce, reuse and recycle.
1- Reduce (to use less)
We can reduce the amount of water we use by turning off the tap when we are not using it. We can reduce the amount of electricity we use by turning off the light when we go out of the room. When we go shopping we can ask to buy things without plastic containers – this will reduce the amount of plastic used.
2- Reuse (to use again without changing)
After we have used water to wash our hands it can be used for the toilet or to water plants. We can take plastic bags back to the shop to be used again.
3- Recycle: (to use again by changing)
In many countries paper, glass and drink cans are collected and made into a new paper, glass and cans. In Palestine iron is recycled in Nablus and Gaza.
