United Kingdom : Environmental issues and solving these problems

United Kingdom : Environmental issues and solving these problems Sept 2013

Some pupils looked at various environmental issues and problems which ranged from river pollution, dumping rubbish in the canals, endangered species and animals losing their habitat, deforestation, littering and pollution from cars and factories.

The pupils presented their findings to the rest of the school and produced display boards to show their work to everyone.

A display about river pollution and deforestation

A display about endangered animals

How to solve these problems is a very difficult concept for some of our students and they can only answer from a simplistic level. They understand not to litter and to help in recycling when they can and also encourage their families to do the same. They can help clean areas and keep them tidy and look after their immediate environment. It is not reasonable for them to be expected to find a solution to global pollution, drought, deforestation and other such issues.
