As Earthlings we should be celebrating the wonders of our planet - not just on Earth Day, but everyday!

If you're looking for some fresh ideas for exploring sustainability and celebrating all the amazing things about our Earth in your setting - download the Earth Day Ideas Book and investigate, explore, design and experience sustainability themes and concepts with children of all ages.  It's also a great way to start engaging with your team about embedding sustainability in your program and practice.

These simple and practical ideas will help you create opportunities for discussion and build momentum for your sustainability initiatives, bringing sustainability to life in ways you might not have thought about before.

But what if I can't do it right now?

If celebrating Earth Day doesn't fit in with your program or the children's interests right now,  download and keep the Ideas Book handy for another time.  Or, use it as a discussion starter for some team professional development. 

Brainstorm how you could respond to the ideas. What resources could you use? Are there books in your library you could incorporate?  Songs you know? Resources available?  How could you take the ideas presented and extend the learning?  Do any of these suggestions spark an idea 💥 for a Project or investigation?

It's a great tool to use to challenge your team and bring a bit of interest to your next team meeting!

How will celebrating Earth Day help me embed sustainability?

By engaging your team, children and families in conversations and experiences based on sustainability concepts - such as connecting with nature, biodiversity, buying local, reusing, growing food, minimising resource use, etc. you are developing mindsets, skills and knowledge that will support further  engagement, discussion and action towards embedding sustainability (and they might not even realise! Shhh I won't tell....🤫) 

These ideas are a fun way to start conversations you can build on.  It gives you opportunities to suss out who's interested in sustainability, who's keen to get involved, and what skills your team, families and community could bring to the table for future sustainability projects... All useful intelligence my Dear Watson! 🕵️‍♀️

Hi, I'm Bron.

Fellow Earthling, environmental educator and scientist passionate about all things sustainability.  I have specialised in working with early years services for the past 10 years, after discovering the power of little people in changing the world!  I had this revelation when my son asked for a water tank for his 4th birthday - they are hard to wrap, let me tell you! 🎁

I love supporting educators to build their knowledge, develop their skills and fill their toolboxes with practical things they can do to make the world a more sustainable place - and pass on that knowledge and develop the skills of the next generation of sustainability leaders and change makers!
