Petition Add “Human Impact on Environment” to National Curriculum compulsory subjects
Awareness is a key point when it comes to making long-lasting impact on improving sustainability for the environment. By including this in National Curriculum, the next generation & us would be able to integrate this into the lifestyle.
This is as important as other subjects in National Curriculum.
More details
Opting for unsustainable materials, overconsumption and throwaway lifestyle are a few examples that have caused pollution, animal harm, shrinking biodiversity and other detrimental effects to the environment. Awareness via education is crucial.
Primary school curriculum focusing on raising awareness & encouraging active thinking about how daily activities impact the environment will aid above.
Secondary schools could develop more technical/scientific and socioeconomic factors on this subject.
