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
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
The Death of Planet Earth?
By 2025 half the remaining rainforests will be gone; by 2060 they will have gone forever
We will lose half the plant and animal species on earth
This is the largest mass extinction since the demise of the dinosaurs
