In 2021, we have developed and implemented together with our partners a pilot program – Single-Use Plastic Free School. Single-Use Plastic Free School Pilot Program They also pointed out that the curriculum enhanced their own knowledge and supported them to become green teachers.Įasy-to-carry reusable Tasini bags have been distributed to the 512 children who have completed the first stage of the program enabling them to switch from single-use plastic bags. The first batches of 512 children in these schools have been learning about the problems posed by plastic waste and microplastic to the environment and marine life, taking action to reduce their use of single-use plastic by switching to reusable bags and water bottles, exploring waste separation and bio decomposition of organic waste versus inorganic waste, and linking to local waste banks.Įducators indicated in the post-activity surveys that the program was easy to implement and the children were enthusiastic and inspired by the content and format. Since July 2019, our pilot “Zero Waste School Program” has been adopted by 15 educators and schools across Indonesia – from North Sumatra to Aceh, Jambi, South Sumatra, Central Sulawesi, West Java, Central Java, East Java, North Maluku, Lombok, and Bali. With a deep connection with local nature, they would adopt new behaviors to understand and protect nature.Īs of 2022, we are combining several already developed lessons and updating the biodiversity conservation program to be developed into a comprehensive curriculum, suitable for younger learners (6-10 years old).
OFFICE MAX GREENBOOKS HOW TO
This was achieved through the series of birdwatching and educational activities, which would encourage local children and their parents to long-lasting devotion to nature and the environment, and inspire them through education about how to care for and conserve the limited and unique natural sources.
The goal of the Free as a Bird Project was to inspire and facilitate a mind shift of the local community about the wild bird’s values, from belonging to an important part of the world ecosystem. Mostly because of the high demand for birds as pets, every fifth household keeps caged birds as pets in Indonesia. Indonesia has one of the highest numbers of bird species assessed as threatened, nevertheless, thousands of such endangered species are still being sold in the local markets. In 2018, we implemented the Free as a Bird Project, supported by the World Association of Zoo and Aquariums. The eco-activities include: interactive games, quizzes, storytelling, up-cycling arts & crafts, and Green Desert documentary film watching (watch the video below).
Since 2017, we have started to release individual eco-activities focused on biodiversity conservation, ecosystems and endangered species. Since 2017, we have started delivering educational programs that local educators can implement in their schools and communities across Indonesia.
