PROPOSED PROJECT NAME:
Nurture The Nature Project
SUMMARY / BRIEF DESCRIPTION ABOUT THE PROPOSED PROJECT
Nature is God’s gift to us. Trees, plants are very precious to us. They give us vegetables, fruits, shelter and clothes. They also give us fresh air to breathe. We should look after them. Animals are God’s creation too. They give us milk, wool, eggs and many more things. We firmly believe that one of the best things we can do is help shape the attitudes of the next generation of citizens so that the human race can reach a state of sustainable harmony with nature.
When you recycle paper, trees are saved. They really are! Whether you are in school or working in an office, we all can participate in preserving forests by recycling paper and being aware of our use of paper products. Because of this, our project focuses on finding the method to preserve nature for our own well being and save the earth for future generations.
