Small Green Steps to embed sustainable practices
This article has been provided by sustainability expert and Tony Innes the managing director of Sustainable Directions, the company which created Small Green Steps an online sustainability resource specifically developed for the education and care sector.
Most early learning and care services around Australia embrace the concept of sustainability in some shape or form. This generally entails the employment of basic recycling practices or teaching children the joys of keeping chickens. However the National Quality Framework requires a great deal more and requires evidence that "sustainable practices are embedded in service operations."
So how do you embed sustainable practices throughout your service? By taking the following small green steps, you will go a long way to ensuring that sustainability becomes second nature for educators and children at your centre.
