Climate Survivor

Small World 4

Climate change is causing problems globally, and the Pacific is no exception. Some of our Pacifika neighbours, maybe even our family and friends, are facing the threat of being forced to leave their homes as the earth heats up and sea levels rise. This issue of Small World will help you to understand what climate change is. It explores how young people are fighting climate change in the Pacific, and what you can do to take action, right here in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Rubbish

Small World 1

Rubbish is piling up all over the world but what ends up in our bins might not even be rubbish! It is plastic bags from our shopping; left over food scraps; unwanted toys or even mobile phones, hardly used before they’re tossed out to make way for the latest model. The more stuff people buy, the more they throw away. We all need to stop and think about why we’re throwing things out and where itmight end up.

This first issue of Small World looks at these questions: what exactly is rubbish and where is it going? How are people around the world turning trash into treasure? What can we do to change the way we buy and what we throw away?
