Look at these pictures ant think about things we can do to reduce this dirt.
Add the ideas to the padlet wall below.
Remember:

It is the responsibility of every person.
It must be initiated at home and school.
It is also a virtue.

There are a lot of pieces of paper  under the basket.

He said:
"In order to fulfil my solemn duty to protect America and its citizens, the United States will withdraw from the Paris climate accord... but begin negotiations to re-enter either the Paris accord or a really entirely new transaction on terms that are fair to the United States"
We think it's a sad day for our planet.
Donald Trump has pulled US out of Paris Accord unfortunately.
