yes, she can protect the environment
Oum is a nine-year-old girl living in the beautiful countryside of Cambodia. Every day, she walks to her small village school, surrounded by green fields and clear blue skies. Oum loves her home and wants to keep it clean and healthy for everyone.
Oum learned about pollution at school and decided to do her part to help the environment. She starts by reducing litter. Oum brings a reusable bag when she goes to the market with her mother, avoiding plastic bags. She also uses a metal water bottle, which she fills with clean water from home. This way, she doesn’t need to buy bottled water and creates less plastic waste.
In her village, Oum teaches her friends to keep their surroundings clean. They pick up litter from the ground and put it in the right bins. She tells them how important it is to recycle. Together, they collect old paper and plastic to take to the recycling center.
Oum also loves nature. She plants small trees and flowers around her home and school. These plants help to clean the air and make the village look beautiful. Oum’s efforts inspire others in her village to care for their environment. Her small actions make a big difference in reducing pollution and keeping her countryside home clean and green.
