Sustainability – Where will we be by 2030?, Watch these two videos Sustainability Masterclass 1 Sustainability masterclass 2 Activity 1 (3:54) What’s the design criteria? Choose two of the same products, where one is marketed as more sustainable than the other. For example, bamboo toothbrush vs plastic, plastic drinks bottle vs reusable, socks made with organic cotton vs no organic. Put yourself in the position of the designer and company who developed the two products. Then decide, what was the likely design criteria they used for the two products? Make a list for...
Activity One, Activity 1 Take a minute to think about why technology in general (think computers, machines etc) is important. What are the advantages (and disadvantages) of technology. You may want to consider different people / situations to help you with your answer. You may have come up with things such as: Efficiency – doing tasks quicker and easier (think vacuum cleaning, microwaves etc) Doing tasks that are dull, dirty, difficult and dangerous jobs (think landmine clearance, dishwashers etc) Open up opportunities to do new things – allow people...

Climate change and sustainability education in England, A new report highlights the importance of addressing the climate and nature crises in schools as the world faces unprecedented environmental challenges. Leading climate scientists have warned that many of Earth’s “vital signs” are at record-breaking extremes, with global warming projections for 2100 still pointing to a dangerous 2.7°C increase. This path threatens to exacerbate extreme weather events, including increased flooding risks for over 10,000 English primary and secondary schools – a number expected to rise significantly by 2050. Adding to the urgency...
