Zero Carbs member, Stephen, lives and works in a large city (Inner West Sydney on Gadigal country). Watching his children grow up in this urban landscape, Stephen was inspired to help his kids’ local government primary school become an eco oasis.
Children from four years up are immersed in sustainability every school day. They learn that this way of living is easy, kind and fun!
These children grow up valuing the natural world and learning how to protect it.
See, below, how entirely replicable features are incorporated day-to-day.
