Planning a Junior Landcare-Friendly Event
Celebrations are a time for joy and fun, but they can also have a negative impact on our environment, land, water, native flora and fauna. Junior Landcarers have the opportunity to take charge and make their celebrations more eco-friendly and sustainable. With their friends, they can come up with innovative ideas to reduce waste and promote environmental responsibility.
As teachers, you can encourage your students to take an active role in researching waste reduction solutions and monitoring bin stations. They can also use their creativity to design informative graphics and share their knowledge with others. This will not only help them understand the impact of their actions on the environment, but it will also help them develop critical thinking skills and problem-solving abilities.
By promoting sustainable practices, Junior Landcarers can have fun and enjoy their celebrations while also contributing to the preservation of our planet. This teacher resource is a great way to engage students in hands-on learning and inspire them to make a positive difference.
For students to:
• imagine new possibilities when planning an environmentally friendly event
• understand how decisions we make impact the environment positively or negatively
• seek sustainable solutions to reducing waste and put ideas into action.
