There are heaps of things, big and little, that we can all do every day to make a difference to our environment.
Like the coach says - just take it one day at a time.

Home
Going green at home isn't about ditching the telly, living in the dark, or going without a shower. It's about a smarter, simpler way of life. Cutting back on the junk in your house and get back to nature in your own backyard. We've found all sorts of things you can do to make your home greener.
Need some more ideas for your Enviroweek challenge. Why not create your own?
- Make a games arcade from pre-loved cardboard and invite family and friend to play. Brilliant for fundraising, education and entertainment.
- Pick up all the litter from your school yard and recycle/compost what you can.
- Have a nude food lunch or wrapper free festival all week.
- Plant trees or a veggie garden at school or at home.
- Give meat a miss, you may not even miss it.
- You can turn off all the class lights and equipment every night… or take the fuses home in your pocket.
- Start a compost or worm farm (mind you they’re a bugger to milk)
- Catch public transport or start a walking bus.
- Ride your bike or walk everywhere with or without lycra, up to you.
- Grab an outfit from your local op shop and show off your style. Have a fashion parade and invite parents and friends to buy a ticket to attend.
You can auction off the outfits afterwards. - Live rubbish free.
Or you can create your own challenge:
- Example: To save water, shower with pets and loved ones (good luck if you own a cat)
You can be as creative as you like and inspire the rest of your school to do the same!
