Do you know what a mobilization campaign is?

We have talked about water waste in your house and at school, observed different points of water consumption, created maps, and realized that we can improve the way we use water.

Now it’s time to act and put what we have learned into practice. But not just by ourselves! We are going to create a campaign involving as many people as possible (students, teachers, school staff, family). Let's work together to promote conscious water consumption at school!

WWF France, for example, created a video showing that even a baby knows that water is too important to waste.

The campaign, World’s Largest Lesson, is an initiative from Project Everyone delivered in partnership with many other organizations to mobilize teachers and students around the world to contribute to achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals set by the United Nations. This campaign has produced various videos and supporting materials.

So there it is... We create a campaign when we want to change a situation and need to bring together as many people as possible to help!

How’s about creating a campaign to reduce waste and improve the use of water in your school?

Bring your team together to think about ideas for the campaign. Then it’s time to decide how to draw people’s attention and get other students, teachers, and school staff involved. Finally, carefully plan each of the actions saying how and where they will occur – remember to share tasks among the team. Here are some questions that might help:

• Who are we going to ask to help?

• What can we do for the people who agree to help?

• How are we going organize everything and who’s going to do what?

After you have thought of everything, tell us your campaign plans! You can write in the writing space below, make a video, create an image, song, or even a comic strip.

A new group challenge: organizing a swap meet!

There must be loads of stuff in good condition in your house that you don’t use anymore, right? Clothes, shoes, electronics, games, decorative objects, books... we accumulate all sorts of things over time.

Have you ever stopped to think that they may still be useful to someone? Why not organize a swap meet with your friends, neighbors, and even your family!This way, you can REUSE things you don’t use anymore that are still in good condition.

To find out more about this idea, search the web for examples of swap meets held in your country or around the world. What do you think?

Let’s organize a swap meet! Post in the writing space below your class’ ideas and what you have planned.

We are all connected! Our actions affect not only the lives of people who live close to us, but also those of people who are thousands of kilometers away.

To minimize negative impacts, everyone must do their part and consume consciously.

Challenge: Go through the trash bins in your house and separate items that can be recycled; then think about how to reduce your household waste and research the best way of separating it. Talk to your family about the changes you can adopt. Together you can come up with some great ideas!

In the writing space below, tell us what you came up with and what you are going to do to reduce your household waste and dispose of it properly:

Everyone knows that water is a very precious resource! But... how long do you spend in the shower? It might be nice to sing or play in the shower, but there are much more inspiring places to unleash your voice and imagination, don’t you think? How's about becoming a water detective and discovering where your family can reduce water waste in your house?

1. Observe your household water consumption and note down the activities that use most water (for example, observe how your family washes the dishes, cleans the yard, takes showers, and brushes their teeth).

2. Explain to your family what you learned from the water video and talk about where care can be taken to use only what is really needed, avoiding excessive consumption and waste.

3. Write below: in what ways do you think your family could consume water more consciously? Remember to say what YOU can do too!

4. You can also post a picture or a drawing of your activity! Just click on "Escolher arquivo" and upload it.
