cient, that it takes itself very
seriously in a world that falls
around it, it survives storms
Tsunamis and the beating we
humans give it.

by products, the most versa-
tile tree in the world.

Recycle bank
Black bins are everywhere
doing a great job for sepa-
ration, garbage bins such as
these on display are them-
selves recycled from previous
plastic items.
What matters the most is we
try and take the time to
separate our garbage.

These small things we do, matter!

Children showing their
creativity, getting to
grips with nature and
what they see in front of
them, in today's world its
very important, they em-
brace the changes today
for the better of tomor-
row.
We have damaged so
much, and must take a
step back to learn from
our children, that its for
them we need to em-
brace change!
