From the 23-25th april I helped Clean up around my estate, mowed the lawn for my dad, looked after my neighbours kids in the evening when they went out for a meal & fundraised for friends of londiani by selling pins & keyrings.
If you were the mayor, what changes would you make in your community?
I would like to build all new houses with solar light & heat. Plant more trees in my neighboorhood and encouage everyone to recycle! I would also encouage kids & teens to participate in extra activites such as acting, dancing, sports ouside school to help them achieve their dreams!!
What are the 7 Things or problems in the world you want to help solve?
- Recycling it so easy to do & it helps our world!
- Deforestation for every tree cut down there should be a least one planted
- Poverty by giving time & money to charities you can make a difference!
- Light & Heat Conservation by turning off unneeded lights & turning down the heaters you can save fossil fuels.
- Buying from afar we can grow our own apples, potatoes, herbs etc there is no need to import them from the other side of the world creating more gases in the ozone
- Reusing compost can also be used as a fertilizer whick is very good for plants
- cut down on car use - if you can walk or cycle if not car pool its so easy & effective.
