This goal is all about being environmentally-friendly while still making enough products for everyone! Think about how much waste people have from Fast Fashion, how much food people throw away and how toxic the fossil fuels they use are for the environment around you.
The United Nations has set the goal that all countries must achieve sound management of chemicals and waste by 2030. This means that people should be more careful with the places wthey throw toxic substances in, because it might end up polluting oceans and lakes (think about oil spills), the air (think about energy plants that still use coal as fuel) or the soil (because of the use of heavy fertilizers and pesticides).
But all of this wouldn’t be so relevant if we also weren't educating people. Think about school. Did anyone teach you how important taking care of the environment is? Did you learn why is it so important to recycle and not litter?
Now that you know about these things, try to explain them to a friend or to a family member. It’s important to spread awareness. We’re stronger together! Let’s all contribute to a better future!
