@VictoriaWicks6 Such a harsh reality!! I agree 100% that America needs to step up and provide their citizens with safe drinking water #equality

[rachel fahey @rachelfahey7]

@VictoriaWicks6 @WaterWorld From my experiences kids love a bit of healthy competition! What a great idea to get them involved!

[rachel fahey @rachelfahey7]

@EnviroGirl15 I thought so too - a very creative, but also very overwhelming clip! @EnviroGirl15

[rachel fahey @rachelfahey7]

Harsh Reality! It's necessary to promote #sustainable alternatives to our young students to encourage a positive #future #SDG12 #UONTEACH

[SDG2030 @SDG2030]

#SDG12 Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns

Global domestic material consumption per capita rose by 7 per cent, from 10.8 metric tons per capita in 2010 to 11.7 metric tons in 2017 #Eval4Action

What a great idea to get kids engaged with the topic of #SDG12 and allow them to have an input in the designing component of a veggie garden! #uonteach

[Katelyn Woods @Miss_KWoods]

Minecraft is a great resource to use when planning and creating a school vegetable garden. It promotes problem solving skills, incorporates ICT and allows students to be creative within their design. How else could you use Minecraft for your SDG? #SDG12 #UoNteach #Educ4750

@MrsKingston4 @greeny43387876 @TheGlobalGoals Adorable aren’t they! When I was on my first uni placement our kids made a commitment to protect our earth & we hung it up at the window for everyone to see!! Here are some of their responses ... #loveearth #sustainability

[rachel fahey @rachelfahey7]

Amazing to see! Educating our students on the sustainable development goals is so important! - THEY ARE OUR FUTURE LEADERS 🌿🌼🌏 #UoNTeach #SDGS @TheGlobalGoals

#UoNTeach #SDG12 #reuse #Recycle

[rachel fahey @rachelfahey7]

I remember in high school I was given an assignment where I had to create something useful by #upcycling items that were deemed useless...
I made a cutlery holder out of old tin cans similar to this! This concept is something I’ll definitely incorporate into class activities!

[rachel fahey @rachelfahey7]

@greeny43387876 So simple! I bet they look groovy too! It's a shame you can't recall any lessons or assignments that incorporated #reusing or #upcycling!

[rachel fahey @rachelfahey7]

Will London's campaign reduce plastic waste?

[rachel fahey @rachelfahey7]

Go London! Plastic water bottles make up a huge percentage of #waste! London is encouraging their citizens to reuse their bottles by introducing more water fountains 🐳💦 Do you think this scheme will reduce plastic waste? #SDG12 #UONTEACH #sustainableliving

[Plastics impact campaign @Plasticsimpact]

Drinking water fountains to avoid water bottles

[rachel fahey @rachelfahey7]

@MrsKingston4 Yes, good thought! That way we could assess how much awareness our students have with the topic of #sustainability & gain insight as to why they made those choices!

[rachel fahey @rachelfahey7]

I think it would be a beneficial idea to go through supermarket catalogues with students and identify the most #sustainable choices! It could even be done alongside a Math's lesson discussing prices!! Give them the knowledge they need to better our future! #sgd12 #UoNTeach

[rachel fahey @rachelfahey7]

@MrsKingston4 ABC has such great resources about a range of topics! I'm glad you found this one engaging enough to share in your classroom :)

[rachel fahey @rachelfahey7]

Single use plastic is an ISSUE!! I’d love to see what #sustainableswaps our young students could come up with! #sdg12 #uonteach #Educ4750 https://t.co/CWE4ZI5ut7

[rachel fahey @rachelfahey7]

@greeny43387876 @TheGlobalGoals Go Mum!! It's little things like this that promote a brighter future!

[rachel fahey @rachelfahey7]

If we educate our young people properly they quite literally will have the power to create a more sustainable future & therefore change the world...
@TheGlobalGoals shared how inspired they were by the ideas young people have, let’s encourage these ideas to be practiced 🌱✌🏼

[rachel fahey @rachelfahey7]

@VictoriaWicks6 Great to hear @VictoriaWicks6, let me know which ones you find a easiest to follow & work best!

[rachel fahey @rachelfahey7]

Want to become more sustainable, but don't know how?? Check out this blog for some habits in your daily life that can make a huge difference! #uonteach #educ4750 #sdg12

[rachel fahey @rachelfahey7]

@greeny43387876 @greeny43387876 I think the issue is that not many people know how easy and cheap the #sustainableswap can be! Fancy paying for single-use sandwich bags every week, for your kids just to put them in the bin straight after lunch!!

[rachel fahey @rachelfahey7]

Let's make our students/kids lunch boxes plastic free! What a great campaign to encourage schools to be more sustainable! #plasticfreeschools #uonteach #educ4750 #sdg12

[Surfers Against Sewage @sascampaigns]

[rachel fahey @rachelfahey7]

@greeny43387876 Yes i think so too @greeny43387876! Even getting them to bring along a worksheet so they can record the types of waste & how much! Then we can compare back at school and develop sustainable plans! #sdg12

[rachel fahey @rachelfahey7]

Easter weekend @ Yamba showed debris washed up from the recent floods! I can only imagine how much waste entered our oceans due to this wild weather....
A great opportunity to expose students to the real issue by walking around affected areas & collecting the rubbish! #sdg12

[rachel fahey @rachelfahey7]

Picture books are such a powerful #resource in the classroom! This book highlights environmental issues in a magical, but deep way! It encourages students to use their high order thinking skills to interpret the text and understand the need for a #sustainable world. #SDG12

[rachel fahey @rachelfahey7]

Start a #green team!! “Plastic free Sophia” has great website that outlines how to make your school canteen #plasticfree & talks all things #waste & #renewable- something I would definitely get my students to put forward to the principal ✌🏼🌱#sdg12

[rachel fahey @rachelfahey7]

Wouldn’t it be a great idea to get young students to collectively develop a plan for local businesses to implement into their workplace to create a more #sustainable practice! #sdg12 #UoNTeach 🌏🌏

[Better Blue Planet @betterblueke]

Besides cultivating conscious consumerism, #SDG12 seeks to encourage companies especially large transnational corporations to adopt sustainable business practices & integrate truthful sustainability information in their reporting cycles.
