Polly explained that ‘reducing our carbon footprint’

will reduce global warming and that will help the polar bears.

We can do this by:

1. Turning off lights, computers, TVs

and other electrical equipment when we are not using them.

2. Turning off the water while we’re brushing our teeth.

3. Walking or cycling instead of using the car.

4.  Not wasting paper.

Remember to reduce, reuse and recycle.

5. Growing your own food.

6. Buying food that is grown locally

 

Polly said that you can find your carbon footprint

and how to reduce it by using this

Kids’ Carbon Calculator from Cool The World.com

‘Well,’ said Polly, now you have heard all about Polar Bears

and why they are endangered perhaps you can tell me about bees’.

‘Why certainly,’ said Brigid. ‘That’s what we will do tomorrow’.
