WASTE MANAGEMENT

A Chinese proverb says waste is just a resource in the wrong place. What if we could learn that most of the things we throw away can be turned into useful things? That if we recycle we all bring our small contribution to making the earth cleaner. Here is a look at the waste management situation and at what we can do about it.

The trees around us are not just the backdrop of landscape, but out ticket to clean air and the home of so many living things. What if we could all make a small effort and plant the seeds for new trees to make our planet a greener, better place? Here is a look at the trees that are part of our life and what we can do about them.

DEFORESTATION

AIR AND WATER POLLUTION

We use our cars, we burn out coal and petrol as if it had no impact on our lives. We don't even wonder where our sewege goes or how much waste there is in the water that we swim in, we wash with or we even drink. What if we could make wiser choices so the air we breathe could be fresher and the water we use cleaner? Here is a look at air and water pollution and what we could do to reduce it.

We buy all kinds of products without taking a moment to read the label or without thinking about the conditions in which they were produced. What if we could make a more informed choice about the things we buy and use? Here is a look at how many toxic substances there are in the products we buy and how we can find out the truth and take a stand.
