What this lesson teaches

We can do little things every day to keep the land, water, and air clean.

Worked examples

Example 1

We put our trash in the bin instead of on the ground so the park stays clean.

Example 2

We turn off the water while brushing our teeth so we do not waste it.

Example 3

We reuse a shopping bag instead of taking a new one each time. Using less means throwing less away.

Practice questions

  1. Pick up one piece of trash and put it where it belongs.
  2. Turn off the water while you brush so you do not waste it.
  3. Name one way you can help keep your yard or park clean.

Cuidamos la Tierra

Podemos hacer cositas cada día para mantener la tierra, el agua y el aire limpios.

Ejemplo 1: Ponemos la basura en el bote y no en el suelo para que el parque quede limpio.

Ejemplo 2: Cerramos el agua mientras nos lavamos los dientes para no desperdiciarla.

Ejemplo 3: Reusamos una bolsa del mandado en vez de tomar una nueva cada vez. Usar menos significa tirar menos.
