RESPECTING THE
COUNTRYSIDE
Spring is here! We start
to enjoy warm weather and blooming flowers… we can also
There are many changes around us that tell us
GET INVOLVED!
You too can help:
- Look for upcoming clean-up events and you too can be part of a team to help clean our beautiful countryside.
The countryside is there for everyone to enjoy !
Treat it with CARE & RESPECT and it will be around forever !
Once we lose our countryside, we lose it forever !
notice animals coming out of their long, winter sleep and their babies exploring
the world for the first time.
The
countryside is at its best during this time of the year. Experience our
countryside and enjoy nature’s wonderful gift to the senses of things to
see, do, touch, smell and taste!
Enjoying the countryside means
also respecting the environment!
Respecting the countryside...
•
Enjoying yourself does not mean that you have the right to cross any fields;
A closed gate should remain like that and while some fields may seem empty, more often than not some of them would already have been sowed.
•
Leave the place as you have found it. Do not leave any littering around –
find a bin for your rubbish, or take it home. Moreover, the litter left behind can also be a danger to children or other people’s pets.
•
Flowers are there to be enjoyed by everyone. Do not pick wild flowers –
wild flowers provide seeds for birds and pollen for butterflies and bees. Where they grow is where they belong!
•
Only light a small fire where it is permissible, away from trees and under
adult supervision. If a fire is out of control, everything and everyone is at risk.
•
Do not collect insects or frogs, or catch butterflies. Insects play many important roles in nature. The most important of which is the pollination
(sprinkle with pollen) of flowering plants. Moreover, certain insects also
provide important products such as honey, silk and wax, all of which can
be of direct benefit to humans.

Facts & figures
Clean-up the world campaign
Last year 116 countries across the world took part in the
clean-up the world campaign involving 27 million volunteers
who made our planet that little bit cleaner!

Spring,
the season of new beginnings...
Many things happen in spring. Flowers bloom, families enjoy
the countryside having picnics and the days start getting
longer and warmer. The nature will be at its best! In the
animal world, new life begins…

Chicks are born
Spring is also the time that birds build their
nests and have their chicks. The mother and
father bird know that the days are beginning to
get warmer and longer and that there will be
plenty of food for their young. As the days get
longer the parent birds have more time to hunt
for food for their growing chicks.
Out of Hibernation
With the warmer days of spring, animals,
which have been in hibernation over the
long winter, begin to wake up. Hedgehogs
are animals which hibernate in nesting sites
made of grass and leaves. In April, the males
are thought to wake up first. Hedgehogs can
be difficult to see as they are almost entirely
nocturnal, which means they come out at night.

Go Green
What will you do this Earth Day,
and every day, to help our environment?
AND CELEBRATE EARTH DAY EVERY DAY
Start recycling !!!
On 22 April we will be celebrating Earth Day. It is a day to
remember our amazing planet Earth and the plants and
animals that live here with us.
175 countries celebrate Earth Day
Earth Day began to be celebrated on 22 April 1970 and has been an important day
ever since. It's a day to reflect on our planet and our environment and what we can
do to help keep them healthy.
From the beginning, children and schools were approached to support and continue this
special day. And this makes sense! You, like many other children, have the best interest
in keeping the planet healthy.
STOP & THINK...
What if we threw our garbage in the countryside and in the sea...? What if we turned
on our water and let it run all day long...? What if we left our lights on all day and
night...? What do you think would happen to our environment...?
Let’s make EVERY day Earth Day!
Take the Earth day quiz and see how much you know about caring
for Mother Earth
1. Glass decomposes in landfills
after how many years?
3. What are the three R’s of
the environment
-5
- 20 000
- 1 million
- Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
- Read, Reuse, Recycle
- Ready, Read, Recycle
2. In your house, where is the
most water used?
4. How many containers are
found in Bring-in sites?
-Kitchen
- The laundry room
-Bathroom
What’s your score?
-3
-4
-7
Check your answers below and if you got at least 3 correct answers you are doing your part
on saving our planet. Work harder and teach others so that they too can make a difference!
What can you do?
Just a few small things can make a difference
Use recycled items in your crafts and in your everyday life as much as possible Learn what items can be recycled and where is the area in your village or town where you can take them
Do the same thing at school, clubs and anywhere else you spend time
Turn out the lights when you leave a room
14
Answers:
1. Million: It takes a million years for glass to decompose in a landfill. You
can help by recycling your glass bottles and jars at home and at school.
2. Bathroom: On average we use the most water in the bathroom. Cut
down on some of the water wasted by turning off the tap while you brush
your teeth 3. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: It's time to learn the three R's of the
environment. Then practice what you preach: don't buy things you don't
need or items that come in wasteful packaging or that cannot be recycled.
Reuse and recycle whatever you can. 4. 4: Blue for plastic, white for paper,
brown for glass and black for metal.
Encourage your parents to recycle and help them sort the waste into the right bins
