Hi, I'm Juan. I live in the ourskirts of a big city in South America. My country used to have large rainforests, which cleaned our air, but most of the forest is gone now. The trees that have been chopped down and they don't clean the air any more.
Do you have trees to clean the air around you?
What can you do to protect the forest?

My father works for a forest protection group. We have to take care of all the forest, and it's good to plant new trees. [Kilian - Germany]
Hi, I'm Juan. I live in the ourskirts of a big city in South America. We have problems here with water: sometimes it comes from our taps, sometimes it doesn't. It's really bad when we don't have water, because then we have to go and buy bottled water and that costs a lot. We don't have much money, and we already have to pay for the water in our apartment. We can't really afford to buy bottled water.
Do you always have tap water?
Do you have to pay for it?
Can you buy bottled water if you need it?

Hi, I'm Juan. I live in the ourskirts of a big city in South America. Near to our city we have a large landfill. Some of us, kids, used to go there to pick out things. It is really stinky there. My mom forbids us to go there, because she thinks its dangerous.
Do you have a landfill where you live?
Do you think it can be dangerous?

We don't have landfills, but I've heard that a school needed to close down because there was a landfill leaking near to it. [Thea - England]

Hi, I'm Juan. I live in the ourskirts of a big city in South America. The place where I live has a lot of poor people. My family struggles a lot, too. But in our city there are many rich people. But we never see them, because they live elsewhere, they work elsewhere, they eat elsewhere from where we do. They travel only by car. Their children don't go to the same schools with us.
Do you have rich people and poor people where you live?
Do they ever meet?
How do you help the poor?
