Here is a link to the 3 minute video Nathan made: Plastic pollution is one of the biggest threats to our planet, but we can all be part of the solution! In this video, Nathan takes us on a journey to show how we can break free from single-use plastic in our daily lives. Instead of plastic bags, he suggests using reusable cloth bags. Nathan also highlights the importance of carrying a refillable water bottle and choosing products with minimal or eco-friendly packaging. Every small change we make adds up to a big difference! Let’s follow Nathan’s lead and take action to reduce plastic waste for a cleaner, healthier planet.

As cities expand, more buildings rise, but at what cost? Excessive construction leads to air pollution, and the destruction of natural habitats. With fewer trees to absorb carbon dioxide and filter pollutants, the air we breathe becomes filled with dust, smoke, and harmful emissions from heavy machinery. We all deserve to breathe clean, fresh air—not air choked with pollution. Sustainable urban planning, greener building practices, and preserving green spaces can help us balance development with nature. Let’s build responsibly and ensure a healthier future for both people and the planet!

Today is Thursday. This black bag has to remain outside for two days because the black garbage bags will be collected next Saturday. Cats and dogs can easily tear this bag, which will result in waste scattered everywhere. This leaves a negative impact on the environment around us! For a sustainable and environmentally-friendly future, people must ensure to follow the waste collection schedule.

As a resident in an area where excessive construction is becoming a problem, I can underline the issues that residents nearby experience: Noise: People nearby are experiencing a lot of noise that can start as early as 6am in the morning till late in the afternoon. Pollution: Construction sites generate air pollution which can trigger allergies and respiratory problems. Dust can easily enter people’s houses. Rubbish: Another problem is the rubbish, which increases with the number of residents. Parking: When increasing the number of properties, more parking will be needed, and fewer green spaces will remain

We should recycle plastic more, as people are polluting the earth with plastic. Plastic never disappears; it just breaks down into very small pieces and sometimes it takes 20 to 500 years to break down to a certain level. Turtles are getting caught in this plastic, so I suggest not to throw any plastic, neither at the beach nor anywhere! When people burn plastic, it produces very bad smoke that can be dangerous for people, especially for those who are asthmatic. I hope more people learn not to litter so the air will be cleaner!
