You will have to be a Superhero
Your generation will be the most important ever
In 40 years’ time the world’s oil will have run out
In 60 years, the rainforests - the lungs of the world - will all have been destroyed

134 Bags a Year!
Every person in the country uses an average of 134 plastic bags every year
That’s 8,000,000,000 bags a year in the UK
If Henry VIII put a bag in the soil in 1506 it would just be rotting now.

A Bright Idea
An Energy-Saving Light-Bulb uses just one quarter of the electricity of ordinary light-bulbs.
They also last 10 times longer.
£300 saved by just one light-bulb!

Chewing Gum in the UK
35p to buy a pack, 15p to clear it up
It costs £150 million pounds to clear up all the chewing gum that people don’t put in the bin
£150 million would build 3 new hospitals, or employ 8,500 teachers

Fair Price for a Fair Trade Much of the food we
eat is grown by the poorest people in the world
For every 20p you spend on a banana only 1p goes to the person who grew it
FairTrade ensures that farmers get a fairer price

Brushing Your Teeth Only 3% of the Earth’s
water is drinkable Most of us leave the tap on
whilst cleaning our teeth This wastes 9 litres of water
a minute Many people in poor
countries use only 10 litres in a whole day for all their needs

Future Facts about Water
By 2025, 52 countries, with two-thirds of the world’s population, are likely to have water shortages
It is predicted that most 21st Century wars will be fought over water not oil or religion

Trees One tree provides
enough oxygen for two people
Tropical Rainforests cover just 2% of Earth’s land surface
Every two seconds we lose an area of rainforest the size of a football field

By 2025 half the remaining rainforests will be gone; by 2060 they will have gone forever

This is the largest mass extinction since the demise of the dinosaurs
