My own learning cycle would not have progressed as it has if I kept inside a vacuum, unwilling to change as a reflection of the students I’ve met, the teachers I’ve worked with or the professional development I’ve taken part in. Likewise, life cycles, of any animal, do not occur without influence from outside forces.
If sustainability practices are taught as expected behaviors, similar to the way we teach students to mute their cellphones, raise their hand before speaking and to write their name and date on every paper they turn in, then every subject, every teacher, every grade and every school can play an important role in waste reduction.
"…you do have control over your own waste habits and a summer at home is a terrific time to start planning and practicing your own waste-less lifestyle so when school does open in the fall, you have already re-imagined your low-er waste classroom, have put structures into place and through classroom management, you will positively influence the waste habits of your students certainly while at school and arguably outside of school also. What power you hold!”
