We were given the perfect home.
So why are we killing it?
“He has given the earth to people.” It’s our home, yet 100% of our mess comes from us. People destroy natural habitats, but it doesn’t have to stay this way.


Hectares of forests have been lost so far in 2026.

Trees are the “lungs of the planet”
- Breathing in and out: Just as human lungs take in air to absorb oxygen and get rid of carbon dioxide, trees do the reverse.
- Absorbing carbon dioxide: Trees (and large forest areas like the Amazon Rainforest) take in harmful carbon dioxide from the air.
- Releasing oxygen: Through a process called photosynthesis (using sunlight to make food), trees release fresh oxygen back into the atmosphere for humans and animals to breathe.
- Cleaning the air: Trees act as natural air filters by trapping dust, smoke, and other pollutants to keep our air clean and safe
air pollution
Global air pollution causes approximately 6.6 to 7.9 million premature deaths annually.
- Exposure: 99% of the global population breathes air that exceeds World Health Organisation (WHO) quality limits.
- Mortality: Ambient and household pollution leads to millions of deaths yearly, with about 90% of outdoor air pollution deaths occurring in low- and middle-income countries.
- Life Expectancy: Global average life expectancy is shortened by roughly 2.2 years due to toxic air exposure.

River Pollution
Over 80% of world wastewater flows untreated into rivers. High pollution levels affect 30% of river stretches, threatening millions of people.
Globally, over 2 billion tonnes of unsustainable waste are thrown away every year.
Dumping rubbish is the most common waste system—landfills that lack basic safeguards to stop rubbish from leaking into the surrounding environment. It accounts for about 40% of waste across the world. While it’s cheaper to set up, open dumping speeds up climate change as toxins seep out of garbage and wash into soil, groundwater, and local waterways.

ocean pollution
Globally, over 400 million tonnes of plastic are produced each year. Between 8 million and 11 million metric tonnes of plastic enter the world’s oceans every year.
