"It takes a village to raise a child"
When schools form partnerships with the broader community, it teaches students the importance of their community and allows them to have the best education possible.

Composting can take all different shapes and sizes. From small counter top compost bins to massive industrial compost bins. There is no better time than now to start composting, so go find a bin that works for you!

What interesting points! Who knew that gardening could have so many benefits for children with disabilities?
Working in a garden has physical benefits, but it can help strengthen cognitive and social skills whilst meeting sensory needs

Great idea Eliza! Imagine how much plastic waste could be avoided by such a simple idea.
Best part about it is that wax wraps can be composted at the end of their life.

This is a great guide for what you can and can't compost!
Could be really helpful for teaching kids what to put in the compost and what to throw in the bin.

This shines a spotlight on the process of garbage disposal and shows us where our waste really ends up.
Now more than ever we need to be responsible for the waste we produce and how we dispose of it.

A huge rubbish dump in Bogota, Columbia has collapsed in a landslide.

Local residents have complained about the strong smells emitted, but authorities say the odours pose no health risk.

Some great ideas on how to keep students with learning disabilities motivated.
Having a space for students to go to, like a nature walk or garden, can assist with keeping students on task and ready to learn. #UoNTeach

A step-by-step process for how to focus intently on a task will be useful to many students.

With all the craziness that has been going on recently, I think we all need to spend a bit of time with nature. Go out and smell the roses to help lower stress and improve your emotional well-being! #UoNTeach

What a great example of a community garden!
Community gardens not only make a school more pleasant and relaxing, it will provide the school with fresh fruit and vegetables, improve the environment, and enrich students with a sense of community. #UoNTeach

With around a third of all food produced being wasted, it is important that schools take a proactive approach in teaching students the impact that food wastage has on the environment and how to reduce their impact. #UoNteach

@abcnews reporter Nick Kilvert is going to be living off the land for the next month. Eating and drinking only what he can catch, grow or forage! Not only will he be avoiding wasting food, but think of all the packaging waste that will be avoided. Love it @nkilvert!

Students are reducing, reusing and recycling at home, but teachers and students need to take proactive approaches to apply this at school.
Composting can reduce the amount of waste produced by a school and it can support the school garden as well!

[Isaac Stephens @isaacstephens96]

Wonderful idea on how to keep track of the produce you're growing!
I'm sure primary age students would think it's a great way to add some personality to a school garden. #UoNTeach

We have more ways to recycle than ever before, but over the last few years Australia has only been recycling about 10% of our plastics, showing we have too much of a reliance on waste. ♻️♻️♻️ #uonteach

This year's Earth Day theme is climate action. We encourage you to stay home and learn to recycle correctly if you do not know how to. This will help slow down the effects we humans have on the planet's climate.
