You!!!!!
• list of 3 things you do that have a negative impact on the environment
• For each thing you do, how does it impact environment and what can you do to reduce the impact on the environment (make it more sustainable)
For example:
1. I throw out all of my rubbish instead of recycling.
2. The negative impact on the environment this has is that a lot of landfill is created. To reduce this impact I could start to recycle.
