Kids' Environmental Tips

These great environmental tips and thoughts were sent in by kids around Victoria for Gould Group's World Environment Day Celebrations at Federation Square in Melbourne. The tips were displayed on the scrolling coloured electronic Optus Messageboards on the East Shard for all of Melbourne to see.

We were really impressed and inspired by these clever and creative tips!

Eltham East Primary School

I like how our trees have homes for little animals and to keep it that way try not to scare them out of the trees.

Alison

You're special, the environment is special. You look after yourself, so look after the environment

Olivia

The environment is special and people should treat it nicely. How you should look after the environment; pick up papers and do not step on the plants

Maddy

The environment is a wonderful calm place. You can enjoy it. It has animals in it and it has you

Sarah

In the environment there are amazing birds, peaceful trees and other great things. You can help to improve the environment by picking up rubbish watering the flowers and feeding the animals

Martha

Do not throw rubbish in the environment. It will not be healthy if animals eat it and if they do eat it they will get sick and die

Ellie

We can help the environment by not littering.

Peaceful, soft, sharing, calming, all those things that I described the environment are all true

We can help the environment by recycling and composting. A good way to reduce, rubbish at your school is to have a decent number of bins around the yards.

In your school you can help by saving water by putting an ice-cream container under your taps.

If you have cargo on a ship, don't go too fast because the cargo load will fall off and pollute the sea.

You should never litter on the ground because it goes in the drain and goes in the sea and then kills the sea creatures.

Water is health
and health is wealth,
Water is verve
It really makes us serve,
Water is zeal
Provided fresh it feels,
So let's not waste it

Rather save it and preserve it,

RESPECT WATER - WATER IS OUR SOURCE

Prevent taps from leaking by turning taps off lightly and replace washers as soon as they begin to leak.

Don't drip Australia dry

Set yourself a target save 50% a day

Plant drought resistant shrubs instead of lawn-Garden Wisely!!!!!!!

Water, water everywhere up above you, down below you everywhere you go, water is always there.

It might not be important now but imagine yourself without water,
without water you will be dry, i will be dry, australia would be dry

Save water!!! When you hear a drop, make sure you fix it...

Place a bucket in the shower to catch excess water and use this to water plants. The same technique can be used when washing dishes or vegetable s in the sink

Save Water Don't Drip Australia Dry

A cutoff valve may be installed on the faucet.

Do not let the water run when washing hands. Water should be turned off while washing and scrubbing and be turned on again to rinse.

Take a shower instead of taking a bath. Showers with low-flow showerheads often use less water than taking a bath

When you are washing your hands, don't let the water run while you lather.

Water is our most precious natural resource.lets protect it

thirsty plants drink more,so grow cactus.

dont be a "drip", fix your leaks.

water turn it OFF and keep it OFF

SAVE WATER ITS NOT JUST FOR YOU!!!!!

dont start your washing and dishwasher before they are full. wait until they are both full then start them.


St. Joseph's Beechworth

Please save water by turning the tap off when you are cleaning your teeth.

If you are driving a short way walk instead.

When there are lots of leaves on the ground you should put them in a bucket then put them in a compost bin. Wait a couple of days and you will find soil.
Then you can put it on your vegetable garden.

Please put your rubbish in the bin because the animals can get plastic stuck in their throats.
