Year 10 student: Miss, you inspired me to start reading on the train on the way to school.

Me: Wow! That's great! Do you have the book in your bag?

Student: *laughs*

Student: Ummm no... I'd look like a complete weirdo reading an actual book on the train. It's on my phone.

@Newsela you've always been my favourite non-fiction resource platform but your new PRO system is terrible - my school can't afford it so now I have to go without. No option for teachers to pay for one user...

Absolutely awful! No balloons are 100% biodegradable - completely stunned by this ridiculous idea!

[Plasticisntfantastic @Plasticisntfan1]

Is @Plymouth_Live serious about this being an “amazing” idea? I don’t believe that the balloons will be “fully biodegradable”..... just another example of greenwashing. https://t.co/KI44PbDgVS. #pointlessplastic

@triplejHack Cadbury's should seek to source alternatives to palm oil in their gooey centers rather than using unsustainable sources and saying "well that's all we can do right now". @cadbury #sustainablepalmoil

Atrocious! We need to fight to end this 21st century linear production system and enter into a cycle of reusing, recycling, repurposing! #ethicalfashion #zerowaste

[Fashion Revolution @Fash_Rev]

Almost one in 10 UK shoppers admit to buying clothing only to take a photo on social media and then they will return it back to the store.

We need to change the mentality from consumption to durability, care, re-wear and repair!

Modern education is premised strongly on materialistic values. It is vital that when educating our children’s brains that we do not neglect to educate their hearts, a key element of which has to be the nurturing of our compassionate nature.
