@LaurenG68654208 I have also seen it on prac! It's an activity that gets the students so excited. No matter the task, the results seem to display a lot of critical thinking and fantastic responses.

@IsabellaCrowe5 I did this on prac and it worked so well! Great resource for any teacher to use.

To encourage critical thinking about sustainability in the classroom, I will introduce activities using DeBono's thinking hats. Students will be given a statement about sustainability to debate whilst wearing their hats to explore the pros and cons of environmental choices #SDG12

@Sue58196607 Yes exactly. The idea I had in mind was to sell the created products to community members for a very low cost and use the returns to continue making self sufficiency within the school (E.g. putting it into the garden).
English
@IsabellaCrowe5 Up-cycling old clothes and toys that the students had at home is a project I have seen in place. It’s such a good way to limit production of waste. Even better when you can donate the goods to the community.
English
My students will be working on goal 12.5 - reducing waste through prevention and recycling and 12.7 - promote public sustainable practices. Our project will focus on up-cycling old products and creating reusable products and sharing them with the community. #SDG12
English
@Sue58196607 This was exactly where I was aiming to go with a school garden Sue! What better way to eliminate waste and be self-sufficient than to use the garden goods to feed students or other members of the community
English
@IsabellaCrowe5 I have seen school gardens at many of the schools I have done casual work at and it’s amazing to see how involved the students get. They used food from their garden for cooking tech classes and also sold some of the fresh produce at the canteen.
English
As #SDG12 focuses on increasing resource efficiency, a school garden is an incredible thing to implement into schools when aiming to teach students about self-sufficient lifestyles! #SDG12 #Educ4750 #UoNteach

Wouldn't this be an amazing way to explore self-sufficient ecosystems with our students?! We should endeavor to make our school's gardens as self sufficent and #sustainable as possible #SDG12 #UoNTeach #Educ4750

@Christo25141765 That's exactly the point Chris. It wouldn't hurt you at all to make to change, yet it would hurt the planet massively to not.
English
@IsabellaCrowe5 I do love a good steak but there's plenty of other ways to get your protein fix! I don't know if I could ever go vegan but it wouldn't hurt to try I reckon.

The food sector accounts for 30 per cent of the world’s energy consumption. Did you know you can reduce your foodprint by a quarter just by cutting down on red meats. It's time to look at how much you're consuming. #SDG12 #Educ4750 greeneatz.com/foods-carbon-f…

@Charlot30046473 I know people who have used this kidshelpline and have said it made a world of difference. Especially in lower socioeconomics area, sometimes access to psychologists and counsellors can be difficult. This is a tool that can make children feel safe and supported.
English
#Kidshelpline is a free 24/7 call hotline that provides counselling to young people aged 5-25. There website also provides information into different categories in an easy to follow layout, changing for each different age bracket. kidshelpline.com.au/kids SDG3 #MentalHealthMatters

@Charlot30046473 Poor diets, researchers say, play a role in worsening mood disorders, such as anxiety and depression. If lessons are dedicated to teaching students positive dietary habits, students will be healthier in the body and mind and therefore contribute more to learning.
English
This is a perfect tool to use within PDHPE lessons! Not only does it identify what the individual should be eating but as an activity students can research the differences in nutrition value and the reasoning to dietary differences of #ATSI individuals. #SDG3 #HealthyEating
Madison Goddard@madigoddard9
The Australian and Aboriginal guide to Healthy Eating. The Australian poster is a visual representation of the recommended consumptions each day of the five food groups. The Aboriginal version includes traditional Indigenous foods eg. Damper. Would you use this in your classroom?
English
@Charlot30046473 Unfortunately the topics dealt with by Healthy Harold are ones often not addressed by parents home. That's why without Healthy Harold, kids would be greatly uneducated in regards to wellbeing. I think It's such a crucial program in schools!
English
Healthy Harold is a program which uses humour and comfort to discuss issues surrounding health and wellbeing. Their goal is to build awareness, share knowledge, and develop skills and strategies to understand themselves and health issues. #SDG3 lifeeducation.org.au/our-program/

@Charlot30046473 We can never underestimate the importance of #crunchandsip. The way the fruit and veg energises the kids is not only beneficial for obvious nutrition issues, but for their brain and the way they are able to learn for the rest of the day. Every school worldwide needs this!
English
Crunch and Sip is an amazing initiative that is being brought into schools worldwide. This not only helps students with their daily fruit and vegetable intake but re-fuel their bodies. #SDG3 crunchandsip.com.au/teachers/faqs#….

It's true that a lot of the time we don't realise how something so small, can have such large impacts on the environment e.g. 2500 litres of water go into making one beef patty. This video will discuss how responsible consumption and production can make all the difference #SDG12
Lauren@Lauren70523283
An impactful video that discusses how #foodwaste also means waste of water, energy and land. Through the implementation of innovative solutions, responsible production and consumption and techniques such as composting/recycling we can make a big difference! #SDG12 #UoNTeach
English
What an excellent sustainable challenge for the classroom and the community. This will encourage people to make small, everyday changes to the way they live and help them see what a positive influence they can have on the envrionment. #SDG12 #Educ4750

Such a useful resource here. Before delving into sustainable development activities, children need to be introduced to the topic. This is a great way to create a foundation of knowledge that will help students become better creators of sustainability strategies later on. #SDG12
Jessica Hancock@Miss_Jess_H
@MissE_Educ This is a great video @MissE_Educ. This could be easily used in a classroom to start the topic on #SDG12. I recently found this video that could be shared in the classroom youtube.com/watch?v=RYFEL7…. I would use this as a starting point for a #STEM #sustainabilty project.

Below is a video of how to make DIY bees wax wraps - the perfect reusable alternative to plastic food wrapping. This is a great tutorial to introduce as a textiles task in class!youtube.com/watch?v=C83SXk…

The Australian solar schools program is granting up to $50,000 to install commercial-sized solar systems with no out-of-pocket costs! What an excellent way to cut down energy use in your school! Please take a look! energymatters.com.au/solar-for-scho…

Absolutely Jessica. Whilst eliminating the need for plastic altogether would be preferable, it can be quite unrealistic. There will always be plastic materials just lying around which is why I'll definitely be introducing the #plasticchallenge into my classroom. #SDG12 #Educ4750
Jessica Hancock@Miss_Jess_H
#Plasticchallenge practicalaction.org/schools/plasti… This is both a #classroom and #homelearning resource. What a great way to find solutions to reducing plastic waste, and to use this challenge as an at home assessment task. Students can involve the whole family. #sdg12 #globaled #EDUC4750

@mccarter_chad 1 great way to encourage the switch is to educate people on the implications that will arise if we DON'T make the switch (e.g where will we be in 10, 50, 100 years?). When you can see that your switch will completely save the planet from a terrible fate, it's easy to empathise!

It is necessary to each young generations the importance of correctly recycling and disposing rubbish. All schools should have a landfill bin, recycling bin, and compost bin on the playground the encourage proper disposal. What do you think? #SDG12
