Sustainability
What is sustainability?
Sustainability includes economics, ecology, politics and
culture.
Our next
generation must have a healthy ecological, social and economic world.
Therefore
we have to sustain and take care of our surrounding and treat each other with
respect.
We
always try to improve the world for example with new technologies and forget
that our actions effect the environment.
If we don’t watch out we won’t have
resources in the future and animals and humans won’t survive anymore.
In
school we have to teach the children to take care of the world.
I
think the best ways to make them understand how sustainability works are
projects and independent actions. It’s very difficult to explain sustainability
to children, so they should figure it out in projects to understand why we
should not use too much water and electricity, why we should not take the car
for short distances, why we should buy local food, why we should seperate waste etc.
It
is a huge topic because it includes so many other things.
I found a nice video that sums up sustainability in a short way:

Thank you for your answer. You are right, that theaching this is very complex and the teaching will never end. It is, or shoul be at least, a underlying thinking of most of the teaching in the school.
