Why Sustainability Matters?

Sustainability means taking care of our planet so it stays healthy for plants, animals, and people. When we make eco-friendly choices, we help keep Earth happy and strong for many years to come.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of 17 global goals created by the United Nations. They act like a big plan to make the world safer, cleaner, kinder, and fair for everyone. From ending poverty to protecting oceans, the SDGs show us what we can do to build a better future for all.

SDG 1: No Poverty – Everyone should have enough money, food, and safety to live a good life.

SDG 2: Zero Hunger – No one in the world should go to bed hungry.

SDG 3: Good Health & Well-Being – Everyone deserves to be healthy and get the care they need.

SDG 4: Quality Education – All children should go to school and learn new things.

SDG 5: Gender Equality – Boys and girls should have the same rights and opportunities.

SDG 6: Clean Water & Sanitation – All people should have clean water to drink and stay clean.

SDG 7: Affordable & Clean Energy – We need safe, clean energy like sunlight and wind to power our world.

SDG 8: Decent Work & Economic Growth – Grown-ups should have good jobs so families can live happily.

SDG 9: Industry, Innovation & Infrastructure – Build better roads, bridges, and technology to help communities grow.

SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities – Everyone should be treated fairly no matter who they are or where they come from.

SDG 11: Sustainable Cities & Communities – Make cities cleaner, safer, and more fun to live in.

SDG 12: Responsible Consumption & Production – Use things wisely and avoid wasting materials, food, or energy.

SDG 13: Climate Action – Protect our planet by taking action against climate change.

SDG 14: Life Below Water – Keep oceans clean and protect sea animals.

SDG 15: Life on Land – Care for forests, plants, and animals living on land.

SDG 16: Peace, Justice & Strong Institutions – Everyone should feel safe, and all countries should be fair and peaceful.

SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals – Countries and people must work together to make all these goals come true.

Did You Know? Sustainability & Recycling Facts

Earth is our only home.
If we pollute soil, air, or water, it can take decades to recover — which is why caring for it now is so important!

Recycling saves energy!
Did you know recycling one aluminum can saves enough energy to run a TV for 3 hours?

Trees are Earth’s superheroes.
One big tree can clean hundreds of gallons of water and produce enough oxygen for 4 people each day.

Plastic takes a long time to disappear.
Some plastic bottles can take up to 450 years to break down in nature!

Food waste is a hidden problem.
If we threw away less food, we could save enough water and energy to help millions of people.

Pollution hurts animals too.
Sea turtles often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish, which can make them very sick.

Paper can be recycled many times.
Recycling just one ton of paper saves 17 trees, 380 gallons of oil, and 7,000 gallons of water!

Every little action counts.
Turning off lights, carrying a reusable water bottle, and planting a small tree can all help protect our planet.

Join Me on My Green Journey with Tawazoun!

Hi Earth Heroes! I’m super excited to share that I am a Green Champion at Tawazoun, where we learn how to sow the seeds of sustainability every single day.

At Tawazoun, I discovered that caring for our planet is just like growing a plant
you water it with kindness, protect it with responsibility,
and watch it grow into a greener, safer, happier world.

Everything we do helps bring balance to Earth —
saving water keeps rivers alive,
recycling gives old things a new life,
and being kind to animals keeps nature strong.

As a Green Champion, I’ve learned that even small actions from kids like us can create BIG changes. And the best part? You can join me!

Become a Green Champion with Tawazoun too!
