  1. Recycling THE CONVERSION OF WASTE PRODUCTS INTO NEW MATERIALS

  2. Plastic bags: petroleum/toxic/non- renewable Not BIO DEGRADABLE REDUCE USAGE , OR FIND ALTERNATIVES/RECYCLE OR REUSE

  3. STOP USING PLASTIC BAGS FOR GROCERY SHOPPING! If we did not use so many, manufacturers would not make them. IN SOME COUNTRIES THEY HAVE BEEN BANNED ALTOGETHER! FIND ALTERNATIVES!!!

  4. Find Alternatives Jute bags Jute is a plant with many uses

  5. PETROLEUM IS A FOSSIL FUEL. THE SUPPLIES OF PETROLEUM WILL NOT LAST FOREVER IF WE CANNOT FIND A COMPLETELY NEW SOURCE OF ENERGY THEN AT LEAST WE CAN REDUCE THE AMOUNT THAT WE USE because fossil fuels pollute the environment and cause global warming. • We need to look for SUSTAINABLE ALTERNATIVES TO FOSSIL FUEL TO SUPPLY OUR ENERGY NEEDS. FOR EXAMPLE SOLAR ENERGY, WIND ENERGY………….

  6. WE CAN USE ENERGY FROM THE SUN AND WIND WIND TURBINES SOLAR PANELS

  7. WE CAN GET MAKE FUELS FROM VETETABLES AND PLANTS

  8. THERE ARE ALTERNATIVES TO PETROLEUM

  9. Biofuels can be made from Soya and Corn Biofuels do not release TOXINS INTO THE ENVIRONMENT LIKE PETROLEUM

  10. Stop Using Fossil fuels like Petroleum Use BIOFUELS instead WASTE VEGETABLE OIL CAN BE USED AS FUEL FOR CARS • Biofuels do not harm the environent • They are renewable • They are cheaper • They are made from vegetables and plants

  11. FOSSIL FUELS

  12. GLOBAL WARMING

  13. THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT

  14. DEFORESTATION

  15. LITTER/PLASTIC

  16. THE USE OF FOSSIL FUELS

  17. WATER POLLUTION

  18. COASTAL POLLUTION

  19. TRASH!!!

  20. Land Degradation
