Overview
The case for kerbside waste education in early childhood education.
Sarah Grixti, Cleanaway
Details
Kerbside waste and recycling education is frequently focussed on household residents and strategies developed ignore the needs of future generations of householders in the community. Schools based education has a long history of application to support household resident education strategies. The missing link in developing a cultural change in kerbside waste education stems from a focus on early childhood education.
In 2006 Cleanaway developed as part of the kNOw waste education program an early childhood and preschools based program to engage with their Council’s youngest residents. A decade after program development and through adherence to development of national quality sustainability frameworks for early childhood education, waste education for preschools is more relevant than ever and provides a considered aspect of delivering education for sustainability.
