How can we be more environmentally friendly? - Presentation

Being more environmentally friendly is an essential consideration for all of us, including children. A presentation designed to explore this topic encourages children to understand what the term 'environmentally friendly' means and how they can actively participate in eco-friendly practices. The aim is to inspire children to make pledges to improve their environmental habits. They are prompted to observe and list activities that may contribute negatively to the environment, whether at home, in school, or in their surrounding community. By identifying these areas, they can then brainstorm and compile a second list of actions they could take to help make their daily lives more sustainable and kinder to the planet.

The presentation also delves into the importance of recycling as a key aspect of being environmentally friendly. Children are encouraged to reflect on their own behaviours and consider how they can make a difference. They are guided to think critically about what they see in their environment that isn't eco-friendly and why certain practices, like recycling, are crucial. By evaluating their own impact at home, at school, and in their local area, children can identify specific steps they can take to reduce their environmental footprint. This educational approach not only raises awareness but also empowers children to become proactive in their efforts to care for the environment.
