Climate Change and Sustainability

Think Globally, Act Locally
Our class has been asked to help the Deputy Principle with the SEMP process. SEMP stands for School Environmental Mangement Plan which means we need to make sure our school is an environmentally friendly place to be.

This blog is a document of our learing journey about climate change and sustainability. So far we have been learning about what sustainability is and why it is important and you can find out more about it by reading on...

What is Sustainability?
Sustainable means to keep something going forever. Sustainability refers to ensuring that planet EARTH and all of its resources can continue to provide a home for humans and all other species (animals and plants) forever.


Since our grandparents were born, humans recognize that we have created some problems on Earth. These include loss of animal’s homes, air and water pollution, decreasing resources, climate changes and many other factors affecting our environment and living communities. When we find “sustainable” solutions to problems it means we find solutions that work well now and for the long term.


Thinking about Sustainability
When you think about sustainability, it is helpful to think about where the products and services that you buy or use come from, where the waste goes, and what impact your consumption of products and services has on other humans and other species.
