Create a poster to give a message ‘How to Conserve Natural Resources’.

Create attractive posters on each of the following topics.
1. Save the common sparrow. These are disappearing at an alarming rate because of the
unplanned and the rampant urbanisation in our country. Loss of habitat, pollution, climatic
change, etc. all add up to this unfortunate situation. Urge people to plant a few trees and
bushes—even if on their windowsills. Ask them to make birdhouses out of discarded boxes
and cans. Appeal them not to frighten the timid birds.
2. Each one teach one: appeal to people to take the responsibility of making at least one
person literate—be it a child or an adult. The person may be your cook, maid, driver or
even sweeper.
3. Water is precious. Every drop needs to be saved. Create a poster outlining the various
ways in which the common man can save water.
