The sustainable decisions when buying a product group learnt about the three pillars of sustainability. They also looked at how to create a graph to evaluate the sustainability of a product before buying it.
The second group read case studies of children from different parts of the world and used the ecological footprint calculator to analyse daily lifestyles and see how they affect our planet.
The third group is inquiring into how the climate is changing and steps we need to take to create a sustainable future.
