World Environment Day

Alan Reid, a professor in Monash's School of Curriculum, Teaching and Inclusive Education, called on Australian schools to engage students in 2023's World Environment Day theme of #BeatPlasticPollution and suggested a range of innovative resources to support this engagement.  Prof Reid concluded that "by learning about the causes and consequences of plastic pollution in the ocean, students can develop understandings of how various actions and initiatives can have a range of impacts on the environment and on society as a whole. And by participating in #BeatPlasticPollution, schools can help foster a sense of environmental stewardship and contribute to ensuring that future generations have access to healthy and thriving oceans."
