Oh boy, seems I've not posted for close to two years. Let's reset the clock.I'm happy to present everyone with some notes you can use for Environmental Conservation Basic. This can be used by any BB company/entity. No permission or acknowledgement is necessary.
It is a short four week course (excluding time needed for practicals and the written exam).
Week 1 - Our trash
Week 2- What we can reuse, recycle and throw away
Week 3 - Composting
Week 4 - Minimum Impact Code
The idea of this course is to instill the right mindset for environmental sustainability and to create some new habits in young people to proactively be involved in the waste reduction process.
Please note that there are FOUR assignments. Three are clearly listed among the slides. Another assignment is a Company-level (or limited to members taking the badge) "gotong royong" where members will clean up a public area (perhaps the neighborhood surrounding the Sponsoring Body or school) together. Please apply the recycling measures taught, which means rubbish should be separated and classified by plastic, paper, metals, and general waste. You may also want to go one step further by soliciting support from your local town council in these efforts.
These materials can be tweaked and improved to suit your teaching requirements.
Hope this helps! God bless.
