Comment on this resource
This section of the children's page of the United Nations Environmental Programme contains essays, poems, and art by young people from around the globe, with a focus on environmental preservation. In the 'Our Earth' section are works about pollution and problems with deforestation, biodiversity, and urbanization. The second section, 'Our Future', concentrates on what the future holds if no actions are taken. The final section is a call to action and is called 'What We Can Do'. There is also a list of contributors, a glossary, and a maze game that includes an interactive quiz. This material is also available as a book.
