Environment and Sustainability

Environment is everything around us, like the trees, animals, air, and water. Sustainability means taking care of our environment so it can stay nice for a long time. We can help the environment in many ways. We can recycle things like paper and plastic. This means we use them again instead of making new ones. This is good because it saves trees and reduces waste. We can also save energy by turning off lights when we do not need them. This helps reduce pollution from power plants. Another way to help the environment is to save water. We can do this by taking shorter showers and not letting the tap run. This is important because clean water is not always easy to get. We can also plant trees and make gardens. This gives a home to birds and bugs and makes our air cleaner. Taking care of the environment is important for everyone. It helps us stay healthy and makes the world a nice place to live.
