Sustainability means taking care of the Earth so that we can keep
living on it for a long time. We can do this by using things wisely, like
turning of the lights when we leave a room or using a reusable
water bottle instead of a plastic one that we throw away. Diferent
people might think that taking care of the Earth is very important,
or they might not think it's as important. It depends on what they
believe is right and good.
GENERATIONAL AND CULTURAL FACTORS INFLUENCE
THE IMPORTANCE GIVEN TO SUSTAINABILITY
THE GENERATION THAT CAN CHANGE THE WORLD
IF WE LET THEM
In the future, the world might not be as good as it is now. There are
problems like climate change, where the weather gets really bad
and causes damage to everything, and not everyone gets treated
fairly. It can be hard to believe that things will get better, but a
report by the United Nations says that young people, like kids your
age, can help make the world a better place when they grow up.
They have new ideas and ways of thinking that can make the world
a happier and safer place for everyone. So, we can be hopeful and
optimistic that the future will be brighter because of these young
people.
THE MOST AND LEAST GREEN COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD
Being 'green' means taking care of the world around us and making sure we
don't hurt the Earth or the things that live on it. Scientists have looked at many
countries to see which ones do a good job of taking care of the environment
and keeping people healthy, and they ranked them from the best to the worst.
IN RESPONSE TO CLIMATE CHANGE, CITIZENS IN
ADVANCED ECONOMIES ARE WILLING TO ALTER
HOW THEY LIVE AND WORK
Some young adults in certain places are more willing than older
adults to change the way they live to help make the planet healthier
and safer for everyone.
