This waste audit toolkit from the Waste Wise Schools Program gives you step by step details on how to complete a waste audit in your school! 🗑️♻️See how easy it is at the link below #UonTeach #wasteaudit #reducewaste

What a great video from #behindthenews that showcases the amazing work of two schools to #reducereuserecycle using a #wasteaudit! I love using BTN videos to initiate our own students action in the community. #UonTeach https://t.co/nzVMjvUCoI

[Sophie Ryan @Sophielryan3]

I often think about this as well! Not only Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures, but also #sustainability and Asia and Australia's engagement with Asia. How many teachers actually embed these cross-curriculum 'priorities' into their learning? #UonTeach https://t.co/0jsNXLjzSG

[Lucy Hunt @_Lucy_Hunt]

Although Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures are identified as one of the cross-curriculum priorities in both the @ACARAeduau Australian and @NewsAtNESA NSW curriculum, I wonder in reality how often we as teachers will make it a 'priority' #UoNTeach

#TheLostPlot Community Garden is such a valuable resource in our local community. I would love for my students to be able to attend one of their "Scraps to Soil Composting & Worm-Farming Workshops"! 👩‍🌾 #UonTeach #sustainability #composting #wormfarm

Making junk sculptures is a great way to re-purpose rubbish. I think it would be a great, open-ended challenge for students to create a new product out of rubbish that would usually end up in the bin! #UonTeach #reducereuserecycle #sustainability https://t.co/sOWUAnqkqd

One mans trash is another man treasure! Junk sculpture projects! @ZegaRobert #reducereuserecycle @1Mawbey

Not only are these children reducing their waste by donating their old clothing and textiles to be re-purposed, they are also raising money for their school! What an amazing initiative. #UoNTeach #Bags2School #reducereuserecycle #sustainability https://t.co/Vq4IAS6aW7

[Sophie Ryan @Sophielryan3]

An open night showcases our students ability to take action for #sustainability. What a great way to share our students knowledge with an authentic audience- their own #community! Check out Engadine High School's open night below! 🌏 #UoNTeach

Check out these engaging educational apps on #wastemanagement! I particularly like "recycle paradise" as it lets you sort different types of waste into the correct bins! ♻️ #UoNTeach #reducereuserecycle #sustainability https://t.co/z0IUaCX8xj

[Sophie Ryan @Sophielryan3]

Making labelled bins readily available is such a simple way that schools can make sustainable #wastemanagement easy for students and help reduce their impact on the #enviroment! You can get free displays and stickers from https://t.co/ELObp9VVmG #UoNTeach https://t.co/XxAPRRHfIn

Monday Motivation = The Next Generation. Let's build #sustainableschools #compost #foodwaste https://t.co/rYJDS2Otew

[Sophie Ryan @Sophielryan3]

@Jade_uon This is such a great idea! Children often don't think about what happens before or after they use different products. TED-ed has a really engaging video about plastic bottle that is a similar concept to a journey map except in a multi-modal form! https://t.co/QPfO6PPBI7

[Sophie Ryan @Sophielryan3]

School-community partnerships are key to providing transformative learning experiences about the environment, but are currently under utilised (Flowers, 2009). Learn about how to utilise the local community in the article below! 🤝#UoNteach #sustainability

Eltham North Primary School have implemented an amazing #sustainableschools program and believe that little changes can make a big difference! Have a look at all the amazing initiatives that can be implemented into your schools #UoNTeach #sustainability https://t.co/pk3CAGXOIt

[Sophie Ryan @Sophielryan3]

This is a great poster about the big ideas in #sustainability! So many important concepts can be understood when learning about our environment🌏 #UoNTeach #bigideas #sustainableschools

[Sophie Ryan @Sophielryan3]

These look great @Indiana_Steel! I love using literature as a way to engage students in new ideas and these look like a great way for students to visualise issues related to sustainability. https://t.co/K72XxhvEkh

[Sophie Ryan @Sophielryan3]

Some great ideas on the Plastic Free July website, including a pesky plastics quiz to see where your plastic is coming from. We can stop waste before it starts if we #choosetorefuse plastics! #UoNTeach #sustainability #plasticfreejuly https://t.co/QEyhQ8Scwj

[Sophie Ryan @Sophielryan3]

@uon_jo Isn't it great to see some initiatives in the local community! Hopefully with a weekly green bin pick up people will find it easier to dispose of food waste correctly. I hope local schools get on board and encourage students to dispose of their food scraps thoughtfully!

[Sophie Ryan @Sophielryan3]

@JacobTFryer This is really important @JacobTFryer! Often the focus is on recycling, however reducing our waste in the first place or reusing products ourselves are so important and easy to do. Thanks for sharing 😀

[Sophie Ryan @Sophielryan3]

Why is the world generating so much waste? This would be a great topic of inquiry for students and would help develop their research skills. There is a lot to learn from the zero-waste community! 🚯♻️ #PlanetorPlastic #UONteach https://t.co/uBxLYZW5z4

[National Geographic @NatGeo]

The world generates 10 times more waste than it did a century ago, but here's how the zero-waste community is cutting down on that #PlanetOrPlastic https://t.co/RaN94CdVK2

[Sophie Ryan @Sophielryan3]

A great step-by-step guide on completing a waste audit in your classroom. What a great, hands on way to get students to understand their impact on the environment!🌏🗑️♻️ #Wasteaudit #sustainableschools #UONTeach

Arlian is a great role-model for his peers and his films on recycling are a great resource for the classroom. As educators, Arlian's films can show children that they CAN make a difference if they choose to take action! #UONTeach #recycling https://t.co/z3YZkgkiMC

[Jacob Fryer @JacobTFryer]

Arlian makes a great statement when referring to people who make fun of him for his passion for #recycling by saying, "They're not educated as much as they could be". Education leads to understanding, which leads to action. Especially in areas of #sustainability. #UoNTeach https://t.co/XZzlCWwzgV
