June 5 is designated by the United Nations as World Environment Day. This is an opportunity for us to raise awareness for the community and take active actions to protect our environment.<\/p>\n
Environmental protection is a long journey which cannot be done within one or two days. It requires us to have responsibility, patience and especially understanding so that we can act properly to the surrounding environment.<\/p>\n
How can parents help children understand more about environmental protection and encourage them to take good actions towards sustainability? Let\u2019s have a look at following suggestions from the US Environmental organization (Environment America).<\/p>\n

CREATE A HEALTHIER COMMUNITY<\/strong> June 5 is designated by the United Nations as World Environment Day. This is an opportunity for us to raise awareness for the community and take active actions to protect our environment. Environmental protection is a long journey which cannot be done within one or two days. It requires us to have responsibility, patience and especially understanding so that we can act properly to the surrounding environment. How can parents help children understand more about environmental protection and encourage them to take good actions towards sustainability? Let\u2019s have a look at following suggestions from the US Environmental organization (Environment America). 1. LEARN ABOUT PLANTS \u2013 Explore interesting information about the Earth, plants and animals and their current status through books, television and Youtube videos; \u2013 The whole family can create beaut\u00ecul pictures with dried leaves and flowers; \u2013 Take advantage of the balcony (for high-rise buildings and apartments) and the open space (for ordinary houses) to plant a small garden of lovely flowers and trees; \u2013 Play games to learn the origin of the foods we eat every day and how they are cultivated and harvested. 2. LEARN ABOUT WATERWAYS, PARKS AND CONSERVATION The water, air and land environments are factors that need to be nurtured and preserved. Parents and childredn can research on many issues such as: \u2013 Learn about the system of rivers, lakes, canals and canals in the neighborhood; \u2013 Learn about water pollution and some ways to reduce it; \u2013 Explore the role of parks, forests and tree planting in reducing air pollution and flooding; \u2013 Learn about the role of natural reservation; \u2013 Learn about types of soil in nature and their current condition. 3. LEARN ABOUT WAYS TO REDUCE WASTE Waste is one of the most urgent problems that need to be solved<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12718,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,109],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16465","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-events","category-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/utschool.edu.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16465","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/utschool.edu.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/utschool.edu.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/utschool.edu.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/utschool.edu.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16465"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/utschool.edu.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16465\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16871,"href":"https:\/\/utschool.edu.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16465\/revisions\/16871"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/utschool.edu.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12718"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/utschool.edu.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16465"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/utschool.edu.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16465"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/utschool.edu.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16465"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\n\u2013 Explore interesting information about the Earth, plants and animals and their current status through books, television and Youtube videos;
\n\u2013 The whole family can create beaut\u00ecul pictures with dried leaves and flowers;
\n\u2013 Take advantage of the balcony (for high-rise buildings and apartments) and the open space (for ordinary houses) to plant a small garden of lovely flowers and trees;
\n\u2013 Play games to learn the origin of the foods we eat every day and how they are cultivated and harvested.<\/p>\n
\nThe water, air and land environments are factors that need to be nurtured and preserved. Parents and childredn can research on many issues such as:
\n\u2013 Learn about the system of rivers, lakes, canals and canals in the neighborhood;
\n\u2013 Learn about water pollution and some ways to reduce it;
\n\u2013 Explore the role of parks, forests and tree planting in reducing air pollution and flooding;
\n\u2013 Learn about the role of natural reservation;
\n\u2013 Learn about types of soil in nature and their current condition.<\/p>\n
\nWaste is one of the most urgent problems that need to be solved at the moment. Within the framework of a family, parents and children can do the following simple methods to limit the overload of waste:
\n\u2013 Reorganize items in the refrigerator to minimize food waste;
\n\u2013 Reuse plastic bags obtained from supermarkets, stores, and grocery stores, then gradually switch to use environmentally-friendly shopping bags;
\n\u2013 Repair broken items if possible instead of throwing them away and buying too many new products;
\n\u2013 Use paper, newspapers, glass, plastic bottles to make decorative items in the house.<\/p>\n
\nThe contribution of an individual or a family cannot completely improve the serious status of our environment. However, with the support of the entire society, environmental problems can be improved and become better. Each family can:
\n\u2013 Post the above meaningful activities on social media to inspire people to protect the environment;
\n\u2013 Walk or use bicycles, public transport in short commute;
\n\u2013 Support funds of afforestation, environmental protection and natural conservation construction launched by trustworthy organizations;
\n\u2013 Participate in running, walking, climbing tournaments to discover the natural world and environmental activities after the epidemic becomes better. Children may that realize the responsibility to protect the environment is not only for themselves, parents, but also the whole community!<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
