other natural resourses had steadily increased.
Conquest of Nature
Слайд 8air pollution
ozone depletion
deforestation
water pollution
overpopulation
Слайд 9The majority of people are beginning to understand that. It will
take them working together to solve these problems.
Слайд 10 Start with yourself
I wonder if my classmates are concerned
about the problem of the environment.
So I decided to make a small investigation on this problem. I ask pupils and teachers of my school 13 questions about how ecologically- friendly they are.
Слайд 11
Test yourself
«How ecologically- friendly am I?»
1)Do you turn off the light
when you leave the room?
2)Do you take a shower instead of bath?
3)Do you take your own shopping bags (not plastic) to the store?
4)Have you ever donated old clothes?
5)Do you reuse old plastic containers?
6)Do you use rechargeable batteries?
7)You don’t buy aerosols at all, do you?
8)You are a non- smoker, don’t you?
9)Coming back from the forest or from the beach, do you always take your litter with you?
10)Have you planted at least one tree?
11)Do you collect paper for recycling ?
12)Do you use energy saving bulbs at home?
13)Are you concerned about ecological problems?
Key
The results help you to see how important the environment for you and how well informed you are about it.
Score one point for every “yes” answer
Scores under 5 –There is a whole green world awaiting for you. Do not be indifferent to the place where you live!
Scores 6-9 – you are already begin to notice that some parts of you lifestyle aren't very environmental friendly. Read on and go “greener”.
Scores 10-13 – you take environmental issues very seriously and try to live in a way that doesn't damage the environment. You are really frustrated with the lack of recycling facilities in your area. You like to plant trees and do your best to help the planet!
Слайд 13This diagram shows that:
the most of students and teachers (74 %) are thinking
about the way the planet operates and understand that everything they do – good or bad – will rebound on us sooner or later.
To my regret 14% of answerers aren't concerned about saving the environment.
But 12% - do their best to safe Nature. What you do does count!

Слайд 17Conclusions
It can be easily noticed that adults are much more concerned
about ecological problems than pupils. But it is pleasant to see that there are no smokers (8 question) in my class at all. So, I hope if everyone think about their health, they will take care about the environment.
All teachers say “yes” on the 7,9,10, 13 questions. And even 2 of them collect paper, although there is no facilities for recycling in our area. The rest of respondents are also eager to do it.
As the teachers so the pupils often buy plastic shopping bags and just some of them use rechargeable batteries and don't forget to switch off the light.
Слайд 1810 important tips
how to help our planet
1)Reuse! Reduce! Recycle! (RRR)
Try
to choose goods with a green mark on the product.
This mark shows that
a product can be recycle
one more time.
Слайд 192)Go to the store with your own shopping bag!
150 plastic bags
=
multi ton mass of
litter
Слайд 203) Safe energy!
Use energy saving light bulbs and save up to
80% energy over standard bulbs.
And, please, don’t forget to switch off the light when you leave the room!
Слайд 214) Clean in a “green” style
Use natural cleaners such as lemons
and baking soda. It is healthier for environment as well as for your family.
Слайд 225)Wash in a right way!
Wash in low temperature
Think properly, do you
really need a conditioner for laundry or not.
Слайд 236)Low the pressure of your jet!
Take shower instead of bath
close
the water when you clean your teeth.
Set the water counter!
Слайд 247)Grow your garden!
Thanks to it we help the environment, have healthy
(without chemicals) food for dinner and save money.
Слайд 258) Don’t turn our planet into a huge dump!

the forest or from the beach take your litter with you!

Present your lady- love or friends with live flowers
in the pot. They will stay alive for much longer time and refresh your room in a natural way.
