Conscious Use of Resources
Acting with awareness of the planet's limited natural resources, prioritizing conservation, regeneration, and frugality to avoid harmful consumption.
Dimension Acting — Leading and Enabling Change
For me
- What do I use up in my teaching without thinking about it – paper, electricity, materials?
- Do I talk about sustainability, or is it visible in the classroom too?
For my class
- What ends up in your bin at the end of the day – and where else could it go?
- Of everything you own, what do you really need?
In the classroom
- A waste audit: collect for a week what gets thrown away in the classroom, then sort it and derive rules from it.
- Repair instead of replace: bring broken things from home and mend them together.
