1/2D - Living in a Sustainable World

The Year 1/2s have been learning all about living in a sustainable world to ensure we are treating our Earth respectfully as part of our Inquiry unit. Upon researching single-use plastic around Australia, we found that other states, such as Tasmania and SA, are banning single-use plastics such as cups, straws, plates and cutlery from 2020. In 1/2D, we decided to put our passionate views into action. We thought that it would be a great idea to write letters to the Victorian Premier, Daniel Andrews, urging him to follow suit and ban single-use plastic in Victoria. We have seen the devastating effect plastic has to our wildlife, both on land and in the ocean, and we have simply had enough. We are hoping that our action is the beginning of change in Victoria!
