The Secret life of Plants
In collaboration with Qatar National Museum, Grade 6 students at Swiss International School Qatar have produced a magazine to preserve oral medical traditions and cultural practices. They also create ethical cosmetics and explore how football stadiums could feed hungry people. We are only young scientists so we do welcome feedback. This is a magazine written by children for children so there will be mistakes. Errata: Zaid's name is misspelled. The author is named Zade.

Toxic cosmetics are a really big problem in the world. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
have impacted so many people and animals. Hidden<br />
chemicals in cosmetics take lives and cause alot <strong>of</strong> cancer.<br />
About a year ago, I switched to using only vegan cosmetics<br />
because I wanted to stop killing and do the right thing for<br />
others. This is our planet and we need to take care <strong>of</strong> it.<br />
Harmful toxins cause so much damage to animals and<br />
people alike. WE alone can stop this issue by stopping the<br />
usage <strong>of</strong> these chemicals. Instead, animals are used to test<br />
these chemicals, but even if they seem safe on animals<br />
they still are dangerous for humans.<br />
Toxic!<br />
Most popular makeup brands contain a chemical called<br />
phthalates. This chemical is very dangerous and causes<br />
cancer and hormone disruptors. 1oo,ooo people die from<br />
hormone disruptors in the USA alone. Around 1o million<br />
people died from cancer in 2020 and it's getting<br />
worse.Every 6th person who dies, dies <strong>of</strong> cancer and it<br />
hurts to realize how many people are dying from this. An<br />
average woman in the USA uses 12 different chemicals per<br />
day containing 168 toxic chemicals inside. We are<br />
voluntarily putting cancer causing chemicals in the body.<br />
One <strong>of</strong> the main reasons people use makeup is to look<br />
better than they actually are. Social media filters are the<br />
same problem. People use toxic makeup to look good on<br />
social media, but this is very bad for your mental and<br />
physical health. It's natural for people to want to present<br />
themselves in the best light, but 94 % <strong>of</strong> people feel<br />
pressured to look better than they are on social media.<br />
For over half <strong>of</strong> those people, the pressure is enormous.<br />
Social media lies about our appearance but also our <strong>life</strong>.<br />
70% percent <strong>of</strong> people feel pressured to showcase a<br />
better <strong>life</strong> they actually have and 86% <strong>of</strong> people's lives are<br />
different than described on social media. Filters can make<br />
you depressed, lower your respect for yourself and<br />
confuse your body image.<br />
