2. Each group will organize a leaflet about recycling program , and eco-promise for other students at school to compromise on a change in their actions.
3. Each group will write an article about the school eco-footprint.
4. Each group will presents the chant “Respect the Earth”, creatively to the class.
5. Finally, the students will present their project at a school presentation

But we can’t afford to pollute any more.

Pesticides and open mines

I strongly believe will destroy us in time.

Be sure to recycle, wherever you are,

And use your bike instead of a car.

Sign a petition in this magazine,

To conserve biodiversity.

Save energy to be green! …

We must protect our habitat.

We need conservation, and that´s a fact.

Deforestation means losing our trees,

Water pollution’s destroying our seas.

Believe in the cause and join a campaign.

Ask your friends to do the same.

Have no doubt and cooperate.

Make a change, before it’s too late!
