This week, we’re exploring how generations can come together to protect the planet. Whether it’s through sharing wisdom, taking collective action, or learning from each other’s experiences, every generation has a vital role to play in creating a sustainable future. Let’s dive into climate action and start making a difference—together!
Activities for the Week:
✅ Generational Green Ideas: Ask someone from a different generation how they approached sustainability in the past, and how they approach it now. What eco-friendly habits did they practice years ago that might be different from today’s practices? Then, compare these practices to current sustainability habits and reflect on how attitudes toward the environment have changed.
Example: “I asked my grandmother how she approached sustainability when she was younger, and she told me how she would grow her own vegetables in the backyard to avoid waste. Now, my younger cousin is all about plant-based diets and supporting sustainable farming practices. It’s amazing to see how different generations are still focused on sustainable living, but in their own unique ways.”
🔹 What sustainability habits from the past have you learned from someone older, and how do they compare to current practices? Share your insights and how different generations are contributing to a more sustainable future.
✅ Eco-Challenge: Pick a sustainability action such as reducing waste, planting trees, or making eco-friendly choices and complete it with someone from another generation. Share your challenge and how you’re working together to make a positive impact.
Example: “I teamed up with my younger cousin to start a composting project. It’s been so fun to see her learn about the environment and get involved in something that benefits our community!”
🔹 What eco-challenge are you taking on this week with someone from a different generation? Share how it’s going and the positive impact it’s having.
✅ Intergenerational Earth Stories: Think back to when you were younger, what were the biggest environmental issues you were concerned about? Now, reflect on what’s changed and how the focus on sustainability has evolved. Share these stories of past and present environmental efforts and discuss how different generations have contributed to environmental progress.
Example: “When I was a child, my family would plant a tree every year, but it was mostly for fun. Now, as an adult, I realise the significance of that action in supporting our planet’s health and combating climate change.”
🔹 Share your personal Earth story, highlighting past and present environmental efforts, and reflect on how different generations have shaped sustainability over time.
