Sustainable Development
A project about sustainable development and our modern world or a tale of two worlds – the haves and have-nots.
Sustainable Development
The world moves at an incredible rate; we are interconnected and interdependent in ways we could never have imagined.
Our rate of consumption seems to grow exponentially; we must have the latest phone; the latest trends.
Our demand seems to never end and creates an unjust world.
In this cross-curricular project we look at how we might be able to reduce unfairness and reduce our burden on the planet;
How can we live more sustainable lives?
