UP AND AWARE - 7

We can all show our concern for the environment by making an effort to reduce our carbon
footprint in everything we do.

‘Every day is earth day.’ —Anonymous

Exercise:

You don’t need to look far to reduce your carbon footprint. To do this, you need to do an
audit or a check of your carbon footprint.

Pull out your lunch box from your bag. (If you have already finished your lunch, then think
back on the things you carried from home and the food and drink you may have bought

from the canteen.)
• Count the number of boxes, bags and bottle.

_____________________

• Count the number of boxes, bags and bottles that
you will keep to reuse. _____________________

• Count the number of boxes, bags and bottles

you will throw away. _____________________

• Pick one item that you will throw away.
_____________________

• What could you use (in its place) that can be
reused?_____________________

When you reuse things and not throw them in the dustbin after using them only once, you
are not just reducing your footprint but also caring for the environment.

Each time you care for the environment, you help make the planet a better place to live in

for yourself and for all other living beings.

Exercise and Discuss:
In groups of four to six, spread out to different parts of the school to conduct an audit on
how much garbage is produced in a day.

field and other parts of the school.
