What can you do to save water? GO GREEN. TAKE ACTION!!!!

'Water is not a gift from our ancestors but a loan from our descendents'
There is the same amount of water on Earth today as there was when the dinosaurs

roamed. And just less than one percent of the planet's water is available to meet the daily drinking water, sanitation and food needs of nearly 7 billion people and millions of other species. Learn more about water in all its forms and how you can make a difference.



Investigate different ways of saving water through this funny game.


Design a poster to display at least five tips to save water. Remember, water permeates every aspect of our lives. The issues range from rivers and oceans, climate change, pollution, alternative energy to poverty, human rights, gender discrimination and basic, clean, drinking water.
Remember...
That's time for us to do something!!!!!

The other side of globalisation, the invisible children, stop child labour

An estimated 246 million children are engaged in child labour. Nearly 70 per cent of these children work in hazardous conditions – including working in mines, working with chemicals and pesticides in agriculture or with dangerous machinery. They are everywhere, but invisible, toiling as domestic servants in homes, labouring behind the walls of workshops, hidden from view. Millions of girls are especially vulnerable to exploitation and abuse. Millions of others work under horrific circumstances. They may be are trafficked (1.2million), forced into debt bondage or other forms of slavery (5.7 million), forced into prostitution and/or pornography (1.8 million) or recruited as child soldiers in armed conflict (300,000). Carry out a research and design a poster to campaign against child labour, you should include figures or statistics besides a catching slogan and a picture.
