Environmental Awareness
 

In this unit you will learn how to respect your environment better.
Sometimes when we walk in the street we see garbage on the floor
and we don't care, whereas, we would never throw garbage in our own homes.

We also, are not always aware of the way we abuse our environment.
We should remember that our immediate environment is not only our home,
but it is also our street, neighborhood and city.
 

         

There are many ways to respect our environment.
The simplest way is by throwing garbage in the bin.
At the end of this unit you will learn other ways of respecting our environment.  

In the following link you will play an easy game.
You will learn how to recycle paper, plastic, glass and metal.
