Partnerships for the goals
wow that's a lot each goal has specific
targets to reach by year 2030.
to achieve these goals we all have to do
our part
governments businesses
and Society too
in other words each and every one of us
and how can we incorporate these
objectives into our daily lives
well we should try to live in a more
sustainable way at school work and home
for example by improving our consumption
habits saving energy or
caring for the Flora and Fauna
don't worry if you don't know where to
start
it happened to me too
luckily the UN made a very easy guide
called saving the world a guide for
slackers
isn't that a funny name
let's look at some of its points
turn off the lights if you don't need
them and talk to your family about
unplugging appliances when they're not
using them
you'll save a lot of energy
take quick showers instead of taking a
bath
that way you won't waste water
[Music]
recycle as many materials as possible
this helps to conserve natural resources
use public transportation or ride a bike
this will reduce pollution
donate things you don't use
they'll get a second life and will be a
great resource for people in need
I'm sure they'll appreciate it
use a refillable water bottle
you'll reduce your plastic usage
learn about the sustainable development
goals in reliable media but also talk
about it with your family and friends
I'm sure that in this talk we'll come up
with ideas to improve things
as you can see it's everyone's
responsibility to respect the planet
and each one of us can do something
it doesn't matter how small
as long as we help preserve it don't
forget that this planet is our home and
its inhabitants are our neighbors by
taking care of it we'll ensure our
well-being and our future
shall we try together
