@CodyEdstein Definitely! So important to introduce Ss to as many ways to be environmentally conscious as we can.

[Miss Little @MissRLittle]

This is so cool! Using a natural fibre will mean these garments will eventually break down and return to the earth. Great idea for being more responsible consumers #SDG12 #uonteach
Would you wear something like this?

[GREAT Britain and Northern Ireland Campaign @GREATBritain]

From fruit to fabric.

Ananas Anam transforms waste pineapple leaf fibres into @PinatexOfficial, a low-impact textile that’s captured the imaginations of fashion labels around the world.

@mrsperkoteaches What a simple and effective way to incorporate Aboriginal perspectives. Thank you for sharing!

[Miss Little @MissRLittle]

What an incredible image! Great resource to use in a integrated science and art lesson looking at geology. Also opportunity to incorporate First Nations perspectives #generalcapabilities #UoNTeach #educ4750

[NASA Earth @NASAEarth]

Some of the oldest rocks on Earth are found in the Pilbara in northwestern Australia. 🌏

They formed over 3.6 billion years ago, before the presence of atmospheric oxygen — and life itself. https://t.co/PquyIDpZrC

@laura_crerar I had some understanding, but from reading this article I now know Shein has overtaken production statistics of the two biggest fast fashion brands @hmusa and @ZARA. So scary!

[Miss Little @MissRLittle]

Terrifying article on the impacts of fast fashion and clothing manufacturer Shein. CAn link to our global values and what we deem ethical consumption. #Uonteach #SDG12 https://t.co/BL4paIe1Tc

@CodyEdstein Thats so awesome! What an engaging activity, so many benefits for the students and the environment!

[Miss Little @MissRLittle]

According to Suez Waste Management, 1 person consumes 230kg of new paper each year. A shocking statistic. An engaging activity to reuse paper in classroom can be to make our own paper. #SDG12 #UoNteach #educ4750

@mrsperkoteaches Me too! So many ideas sometimes its bit overwhelming!

[Miss Little @MissRLittle]

Thank you for sharing Emily! This is a great infographic to get our brains working #educ4750 #SDG12 #UoNteach

[Emily Rutherford @earutherford01]

Here’s a list of easy ways to involve yourself in sustainable practices to help achieve #SDG12
Raising awareness of the small steps we can take in homes, schools and all different communities. #educ4750 #UoNTeach

[Miss Little @MissRLittle]

@mrsperkoteaches @FRANKiE4SHOE That is excellent I didn't know @FRANKiE4SHOE did that! So great more companies are offering these services, @patagonia has free repairs for all their products!

[Miss Little @MissRLittle]

Do you know where to recycle old clothing/textiles?
Well I've got the website for you! Planet Ark has complied a list of places you can donate or recycle your old textiles #uonteach #educ4750
https://t.co/fSA2ktCRZG

[Miss Little @MissRLittle]

According to Planet Ark (2018-19), only 7% of textile waste is recycled. I like this infographic that helps breakdown where our textile waste actually goes. #Uonteach

[ReClothe with Love @ReclotheL]

Always be aware and recognize the negative consequences of clothing manufacture on our mother nature to address textile waste concerns that have troubled Malaysia for years!

@Brayden07339463 I really like this idea of outdoor learning. Not only is it therapeutic to be in nature, but it definitely forces us to consider our impact on the world. Great connects to #sdg12 too!

[Miss Little @MissRLittle]

@Brayden07339463 So important Ss are given the opportunity to discover what a sustainable community, what it looks like in practice and why it’s important. Great read!

[Miss Little @MissRLittle]

@MKnight826 Such a rich resource! I like how simple and succinctly the activities address #sdg12. Will definitely be keeping this in mind for my unit plan!

[Miss Little @MissRLittle]

Redress is an environmental charity committed to preventing and transforming textile waste. Their mission is directly linked to #SDG12 and on their website have some great resources. I've linked one here to a unit plan #educ4750 #UoNTeach

Have you seen this? War On Waste is a great documentary to watch, examines how our consumption habits are harming the planet. Its free to watch on ABC iView #educ4750 #UoNteach

[Miss Little @MissRLittle]

Sharing this #BTN teacher resource focusing on Fashion Waste. The lesson on upcycling caught my attention. Incorporates #21stcenturylearning to work collaboratively to upcycle unwanted shirts #educ4750 #UoNteach

[Miss Little @MissRLittle]

What I love about #SDG12, is that it relates to so many other #SDGs. If we are not responsible consumers and producers, how can we ensure SDG 1, 2, 3, 6, 14, and 15 for example are achieved? #UoNteach #educ4750
How does your SDG connect?

[Miss Little @MissRLittle]

Love this idea! Would be great to make this even more interactive by using actual items that students could bring in to sort? Cutting down on paper waste and learning how to recycle! #SDG12 #UoNteach #educ4750
