Reducing Human Impact
Communicate solutions that will reduce the impact of humans on the land, water, air, and other living things in the local environment
What a learner can do afterwards

- Propose at least three solutions to reduce human impact (recycling, reducing waste, conserving water, planting trees)
- Explain how each solution helps protect land, water, air, or living things
The lesson
People can hurt nature. Litter, dirty air, and cutting trees hurt plants and animals. But people can help fix these problems too.
Mia sees trash at the park. She picks it up. She puts it in the recycling bin. Now the park looks clean and safe.
Turn off the water while you brush your teeth. This saves water for fish and plants. Small actions help our whole earth.
Recycle, save water, and plant trees to help the earth.
