Turn your book landscape and split your page into 4 as seen below… What can individuals do?What can the government do? What can businesses do? What can scientists do? POLLUTION Think – Pair – Share… Use the coloured card to help you with ideas for ONE of these sections and then feed back to the rest of the group

Use the following clip for ideas... Ri6Q

What can individuals do?What can the government do? What can businesses do?What can scientists do? POLLUTION Create less waste (REDUCE) REUSE items RECYCLE Buy products with less packaging Don’t waste energy (lights, heating etc..) Make recycling compulsory Make recycling easier (more bins etc…) Make strict anti-pollution laws (the UK have these) Severe penalties for people who pollute Support organisations like WWF Raise awareness Create less waste (REDUCE) Make company and employees energy efficient Use renewable energy resources Use cleaner fuels RECYCLE REUSE items Research ways of creating less waste Create ways of getting rid of waste more efficiently Research renewable energy resources.
