Vocabulary

Name Class

Campaign

A campaign is a set of actions or activities that are planned and carried out to achieve a goal or spread a message. For example, students can create a campaign to encourage people to stop littering at their local park.


Environment

The environment is the natural world around us, including the air, water, plants, animals and land. For example, if litter gets into a creek, it can harm the plants and animals that live there.


Litter

Litter is any rubbish or waste that is left in public places instead of being put in a bin. For example, a plastic bag left on the footpath is litter.


Recycle

To recycle means to turn old materials or items into something new instead of throwing them away. For example, used paper can be recycled to make new paper, which helps reduce waste.


Single-use plastic

Single-use plastics are items made from plastic that are used only once and then thrown away, like plastic straws, bags, or bottles. For example, bringing your own reusable water bottle to school instead of using a single-use plastic bottle helps reduce litter.
