A christmas gift for the world
Christmas is the time we find joy in giving.
1. Discuss: Describe some problems you notice in our world that bother you.
2. Pick: one problem that really bothers you and how it impacts our world. Your gift to the world is your wish to eradicate this problem.
3. Write: Your suggestions on how the world could be freed from this problem.
"My gift to the world is....."
Example:
My gift to the world is to MAKE ALL THE PLASTIC DISAPPEAR.
What bad things will go
Plastic was never invented. Everything plastic in landfills will completely disappear. There will be no more plastic in the ocean and no more animals will die. Bad chemicals in the water and toxic fumes in the air will disappear and nobody will get sick. No water will be wasted due to recycling plastic.
What good things will come
Everyone will use reusable bags and reusable water containers. Packaging will be biodegradable. There will be more animals, less pollution and people on earth will be much healthier.
