LINKING GLOBAL IMPACTS
AND SUSTAINABILITY
Local impacts refer to the things that happen in the places around us, like our neighborhoods,
parks, and cities. Global sustainability means taking care of the Earth so that we can keep living
on it happily for a long time without hurting it.
The link between local impacts and global sustainability is important because the things we do
in our own neighborhoods can afect the whole Earth. For example, if we throw trash on the
ground instead of in a trash can, it can make the Earth dirty and hurt the animals that live there.
But if we all work together to pick up our trash and put it in the right place, we can help keep
the Earth clean and healthy for everyone.
WHY IS THE AMAZON RAINFOREST IMPORTANT ?
?
The Amazon rainforest is a big, important
forest in South America. It's really special
because it's home to lots of animals and
plants that we don't fnd anywhere else. The
trees in the Amazon help to keep the air and
water clean, and they store a lot of a gas
called carbon which helps to stop the Earth
from getting too hot. But some people are
cutting down the trees in the Amazon, and
this is causing big problems for the Earth. We

need to help protect the Amazon so that it can keep doing its important job of helping us
and the planet stay healthy.
