To further help their community, students must be aware of the significant effect their actions have on the planet’s well-being. For this, Sustainability has to be taught from an early age.<\/p>\n

But first…What is Sustainability?<\/b><\/p>\n

The most popular definition of sustainability comes from the United Nations World Commission on Environment and Development:<\/span> “sustainable development is a development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” <\/b>Because resources are not infinite, they must be used conservatively and carefully.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Social responsibility and knowledge are crucial to growing a sustainable society that focuses on environmental protection and maintaining the equilibrium in human and natural systems. Educators plant the seed of sustainability in the future generation’s minds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Elementary school is an excellent time to start working on sustainable projects. Here are three fun ideas!<\/b><\/p>\n

1. Renewable energies.<\/b> Energies of solar, wind, and biomass can meet local energy demands and improve environmental protection. For a more eco-friendly and sustainable future, students must be taught about these. One entertaining project idea is to build “wind cars” that are moved by the wind. This can be used by the teacher as an opening to the theme of renewable energies.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Gardening. <\/b>In the school garden, students can plant vegetables. By doing this, they are both learning about botany and introducing a sustainable habit into their lives! The vegetables can be later used in the school cafeteria. In addition, parents should\u00a0 be encouraged to do this at home.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Reuse items for crafts. <\/b>An essential aspect of sustainability is producing less waste. Teachers could nominate one day of the month, “craft day.” This day students would be invited to bring all the stuff that no longer has use (pieces of cloth, plastic bottles, broken stuff, etc.) and create new items. Besides students having a great time expressing their creativity, teachers can use this project to reinforce the importance of recycling.<\/p>\n

So now, which project are you going to do next?<\/b> Just as these, there are numerous creative and unique projects for you to start at your Elementary school. It is time we realize the importance of Sustainability and that, like in any change, kids will play a crucial role in its development.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
