@RobdogRodDog96 This is great! Using De Bono’s Thinking Hats, you could form the students into groups with different hats to discuss a range of perspectives in Australia’s food production, in relation to SDG 12.
@RobdogRodDog96@rose_emerton This looks like so much fun! This could be a great way to get the students thinking about sustainability by having them create something on their farm that links to sustainability each time they play.
@RobdogRodDog96@ReduceWasteNow_ Wow, I never knew this! Did you know that if you wash strawberries in a water/vinegar solution, dry them, then store them in a mason jar in the fridge, they can last up to 3 weeks!
This is a great opportunity for the school community to reduce litter & encourage recycling, while raising funds for school/community projects that promote #sdg12 such as worm farms, edible gardens & compost bins. Thanks for sharing @chelsharrisonn! #UoNTeach#educ4750
Return and Earn! Schools can collect recyclable bottles at school from the canteen and return them! Schools can use this money to buy resources or to fundraise for school events. What other ways could this be used in schools? ♻️🌏🌞#EDUC4750#UoNTeach#SDG13
What a fun & engaging way to support #sdg12 in the classroom! @OzHarvestEdu have a FEAST program that focuses on creating student change makers within the community by bringing awareness to food waste & healthy eating. Learn more here:

What a powerful image! How can we stop plastic from endangering our wildlife? @bags2benches have a program where schools can recycle soft plastics, so they don't end up in our oceans or landfill. Watch the initiative here: https://t.co/RW9lhi3cH0 #UoNTeach#sdg12#educ4750
Thanks for sharing! Worm farms are a great way to support #sdg12 in schools by organically recycling food scraps. Check out the Central Coast Council, as they offer free Green Living workshops & worm farm guides like the one below! #UoNTeach#educ4750

Students learn how they can contribute to a healthy planet by recycling scraps in a worm farm. Do you think learning this skill early will help continue responsible recycling habits into adulthood?

It's amazing to see schools #StepUpToCleanUp! However, #CleanUpAustraliaDay shouldn't be the only day we take action. Recykool is a program that helps schools manage rubbish all year round! This is a great initiative to support #sdg12. #UoNTeach#educ4750 https://t.co/HwsNe2aZ9i
There are some incredible workshops @kab_nsw where schools work with the local community to become #EnviroMentors. They support #sdg12 through hands on learning activities such as worm farming, school waste audits & a schoolyard harvest #UoNTeach#educ4750

The Gift of Our World by @Suma_Din, centres on caring for the environment as a part of a Muslim child’s faith. It brings Muslim representation into the classroom & advocates how we can look after our planet everyday! Link your #sdg12 literature below 🌏#UoNTeach#educ4750
This ABC episode is on our #CarbonFootprint and how food dictates it. Before watching, students could order foods from least to most carbon intensive, justify & then watch to see if they're right! #sdg12#UoNTeach#educ4750

Talk about change! This school has dedicated a whole month to supporting #sustainability in their school! Making students aware of the small changes they can make has a great impact on the environment. What can you implement in your school? #sdg12#UoNTeach#educ4750
Each year, in the weeks leading up to Earth Day, we encourage action & participation in initiatives that focus on the urgent need for environmental justice, sustainability, & climate solution. Help us celebrate & learn through lots of environmental fun during the month of April!
It's estimated that Australia wastes 7.6 million tonnes of food each year! This resource can be used to introduce food production waste, linking to the science and technology syllabus. What else are we wasting? #sdg12#UoNTeach#educ4750 https://t.co/BAbT7pyoXg
This resource from Love Food Hate Waste is a great way to get students to begin thinking about the food they're wasting and identify strategies to reduce their waste. This could be linked to healthy eating in the PDHPE syllabus #sdg12#UoNTeach#educ4750
Erskine Park High School are taking some major steps against the war on waste. After 2hrs of sorting through rubbish, they found that 87% of the rubbish could be recycled! How can we stop recyclables from going in the wrong bin? #sdg12#UoNTeach#educ4750 https://t.co/hxkhFyYcdl
How awesome is this school! Terara Public School has a waste free Wednesday where they reduce single use soft plastics in their lunchbox. How can we encourage all schools to get behind this initiative for #sdg12? #UoNTeach#educ4750 https://t.co/k2YggXM5yb
Love this poster by Margreet De Heer that educates us on #sdg12! Students could create their own posters to inform their peers about #sdg12 and hang them up around the school. This would work perfectly in a persuasive English lesson #UoNTeach#educ4750
