Global Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production 

Global Goal 12 is important in our Global Goals Book Club as it educates children about the importance of mindful consumption and sustainable practices. Through books like ‘The Lorax’, we look at the consequences of overconsumption and environmental degradation. This can inspire young readers to consider the impact of their choices on the environment. By holding discussions and activities in your classroom around reducing waste, conserving resources and promoting recycling, we empower children to become responsible global citizens. These lessons encourage critical thinking about consumption habits and introduce a commitment to preserving our natural resources for future generations.
