Our immediate priority is to prevent the spread of #COVID19. In the long-term, important to tackle habitat and #biodiversity loss.
Never before have so many opportunities existed for pathogens to pass from animals to people.

@TIAscience @MadForMaple@TeachSDGs Happy to! I knew being a Shanghai resident this would resonate with you! I’m curious to see what happens with central/ municipal Gov plans for wet waste disposal from this May ... community composting projects - fingers crossed!
Plastic bags to be banned in all major Chinese cities by end of 2020, says state planner. #smallacts#bigchange ... the power of 1.4 billion people! #teachSDGs @TIAscience @MadForMaple https://t.co/nj1ocT8Omy
When life gives you lemons, you make:
🍋 dishwashing detergent tabs
🍋 all purpose cleaner
🍋 garbage disposal cleaner
🍋 wooden cutting board cleaner
...and the list goes on! You can even make lemonade.

Thank you #Nature for the best #provocation ever for my #EarlyYears kids coming back to @BCISonline after the holiday! Most inspiring start to #2020, wishing you all the same!
“I keep the world cool. Well, I used to…”
With reports of melting glaciers and the impact we’re having on our planet, #NatureIsSpeaking and Ice has a message for you.
“I am the forest. I take in your pollution and give you clean air. Purify your water and protect your shores.” We teamed up with @ShaileneWoodley to give a voice to one of our best defenses against #ClimateChange – the forest. #NatureIsSpeaking and it’s time to listen.
Share these #nature facts with those you love, your families, friends or students - sharing knowledge raises curiosity, which leads to awareness, understanding, care + appreciation as precursor to empathy and action. See the beauty of nature around us #LoveNature#EmpathytoAction
If we don’t conserve forests, how will we clear the air, store carbon and purify water – for the entire planet? Share the facts, protect our future. https://t.co/rCXwZ8nidY
#Nature is Speaking - can we, will we listen? Majestic impactful message from @ConservationOrg reminding us our actions matter! Watch the films + take action: https://t.co/VEmKCc8ABY #TeachSDGs#LoveNature#Conservation https://t.co/s7gZAq6S4C
The absolute wonder and beauty of #nature in our own backyard - wow what a wake up! My kids now in deep discussion if it’s the work only of #MotherNature (kid2) or if man (+ his hose-pipe!) had a hand in it (kid1) or if it’s best simply to just lick it!(kid3). He is only 2!
KG #YoungScientists showing Vygotskian learning at its best - last day of term, 1week after visiting high school lab, they arrive with giant smiles + 3 bottles in hand asking to recreate a fair test for our composting experiements! #ZPD#STEM#BCISsustainability#KidsCompost
“The best antidote to helplessness is action!” Awesome initiative for #sustainable Xmas gifts - consider giving to our home planet supporting #nature & #biodiversity protection in the name of someone you love this Xmas! @Patagonia will match donations $-$ https://t.co/vxNe4m5zy6
What makes #EarlyYears educators able to nourish, nurture & empower Ss - Scaffolding, modelling, guidance, love & respect. Great to see these tenets as the pedagogy that supports student agency well beyond our youngest learners! #LifelongLearners#StudentAgency#pypEarlyYears
Amazing exchange of curious minds, research & wonder as KG kids visited G6 science lab @BCISonline to further their shared inquiry into composting! Top quotes “Our minds think the same!” “Together we can all save the earth”💕 #teachSDGs#ResponsibleConsumption#BCISsustainability
Love it! 1st ever BCIS Climate Action Week! Super exciting initiative sponsored by our elementary Eco Warriors student group which aims to spread awareness and encourage action on sustainability within the BCIS community. #BCISspirit#BCISsustainability @MsKelifa11 @KatiePetch1
