Lesson 2: Geography
Last week for Geography, we looked at ways in which to save the rainforest. Today, we are going to build on this and think about how we can show awareness. Watch the clip below on how you can change the world.

Did you know that Fair Trade and climate change are connected? In developing countries, climate change can affect crops produced by small-sized farmers. Having a Fair Trade Co-operative helps to ensure these farmers get the best price for their goods. Also, Fair Trade discourages mass farming and encourages more products to be made by hand. Therefore, creating less of an impact on the carbon footprint. This is one way to show awareness and help save the world.
Your mission!
Think of some ways on what you can do to save the world. It could be recycling, using less electricity or turning the tap off. Your task is to create a poster showing awareness to others but remember to explain closely what you can do to help.
