Goal 12 was drawn/created by IES Bernardo de Balbuena. 

The logo of a project is the instant visual identity and as such it is important that our project also has a logo that represents the main goals of the project.

• TASK:  To prepare a project logo in any creative form they wish (drawing or digital). 

• TEAM: Jorge

Our logo proposal. This time our artist, chose digital media.

In 2015, leaders from over 190 different countries agreed on 17 global goals they felt the world needed to achieve by 2030. Sustainable Development Goal 12 is Responsible Consumption and Production which considers the way the Earth’s resources are used.

The main goals of SDG 12 are to ensure consumers move towards responsible consumption, to move away from current and unsustainable production practices, and to foster a culture of awareness when it comes to our use of resources.

Our world today increasingly revolves around our consumption. From the products we buy (and the ease with which we throw them away), to the natural resources that we exploit. Unfortunately much of our planet has come to revolve around consumption and consumerism. Globally, we consume much more resources than our planet can produce. In fact, every 7 months we are consuming what it takes the Earth 1 year to produce.

Responsible consumption refers to using products and services which address basic needs and bring a better quality of life, while minimising the use of natural resources and emissions of waste and pollutants. It means taking stock of our consumption habits, and changing them to more conscious choices that take the health of people and the planet into account. 

Every day should be Planet Earth Day. 

• TASK:

Think about the importance of waste reduction and sustainable behaviour.In this challenge you will monitor your consumption and work to reduce waste in your lives.

1. Set measurable goals for reducing waste.

 Examples of goals include:

• • • Reducing the amount of waste by a certain percentage (eg 20% ​​less waste compared to the previous month).

    • Reduction of energy consumption (eg, reduction of time spent using electronic devices).

    • Increasing recycling (eg, increasing the number of recycled items).

2. Monitoring and recording of data:

• You need to track your consumption and waste over some time (eg, a month).

• Data recording should include the weight of waste, amount of energy consumption or other relevant information.

• At the end of the period, you need to calculate the percentage of waste reduction or change in energy consumption.

• You can use mathematical calculations to track progress, such as calculating percentages and creating charts, 

or graphs that show changes.

3. Prepare a report on their achievements. The report should include:

• • •  Initial and final data on consumption and waste.

    •  Calculations of percentages or other relevant mathematical analyses.

    • Conclusions and proposals for maintaining a reduced level of waste and consumption.
