seem to hear of yet another problem affecting the
environment and what a list of problems!

destruction of rainforests and other wild habitats,
the decline and extinction of thousands of species
of animals and plants....and so on.
Ideas Helps In Saving The
Environment
Sort out your rubbish. Organic matter e.g. potato peelings, left over
food, tea leaves etc. can be transferred straight to a compost heap in
the garde and used as a good, natural fertiliser for the plants.
Try to avoid buying plastic. It's hard to recycle. One way to cut down
on plastic is to refuse to use carrier bags.
Don't buy over-packed goods. Many things we buy have unnecessary
amounts of plastic and paper around them.
