You
have seen from the shelter
pages all the types of home that people
live in around the world. Some people, like
Ben
are trying to make their homes more environmentally
friendly. Why do you think this is important?
Why
don’t you design your own sustainable
home to live in? Think about how your house
would look and which parts would be environmentally
friendly. If you get stuck for ideas you could
look at what Ben
did to his home to make it sustainable.

Does
your home have a garden? You could have a
compost bin to put all garden rubbish and
vegetable peelings. Find out how to make a
compost bin at www.globalgang.org.uk/games/diy/compost.htm
On your design of your
sustainable
home, remember to do the following:

Write
where you think your house is located
Label
the parts of your house which are sustainable
