Answer 1

Actions for a greener lifestyle

• At home: Save water and electricity; switch off unused lights and appliances; reuse bags and containers; separate recyclable waste; avoid single-use plastics; and grow plants.
• At school: Use both sides of paper; keep classrooms and grounds litter-free; use dustbins and recycling bins; avoid wasting water and electricity; and take part in tree-planting and cleanliness activities.

Review: Keep a weekly checklist of these habits. Note which ones you follow regularly and choose one or two to improve. For example, check whether you switch off lights, avoid plastic bags and sort waste.

Motivate others: Share practical ideas with family, friends and classmates, set a good example, and invite them to join school or neighbourhood activities that care for the environment.
