Ultimate Guide: Waste Reduction with a Baby!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
When a new baby arrives in the house, so many things change. Your routine turns into what routine? Your total outlook on life changes because you have a little person to love and protect. And your waste increases by about 50% because of all of the disposable products we tend to use for babies.Over the following years, the baby grows and so do the things we waste. Disposable nappies, single use products, food scraps from half eaten foods, plastic and packaging from toys… the list goes on.One of

What is Project-Based Learning?

Project-Based Learning (PBL) is a dynamic approach to teaching in which students explore real-world problems and challenges. With this type of active and engaged learning, students are inspired to obtain a deeper knowledge of the subjects they're studying.

PBL could be the key to engagement. This is the same as 'intrinsic motivation' that Maria Montessori refers to when students are offered meaningful elements of choice they are more likely to be motivated. Montessori advocates relevant real world content, student choice, student voice, self management, opportunities for collaboration, peer review and discussion and challenge at the correct level (Goldilocks observation). Montessori was the first to advocate this type of real world project learning.

Te Kete Ipurangi puts PBL within its ' enabling e-learning' advice for teachers. We would argue that PBL is not confined to e-learning but can and should be practical hands-on learning that combines building a three-dimensional product, field trips, collaboration with industry and expert mentors.

It should span multiple subjects and curricular elements. Why can't students choose to dramatise the Krebs cycle in a short play or use mud and straw models to explore green building technologies?

PBL involves students solving real problems for an actual public audience, expert mentor or client. It allows students to find their own way to reach a set of learning goals and potentially continue on in the learning journey. Students research, innovate, design, gather data, present and review their work and build up to a public finale where final products are presented in a public event.

We're spotlighting incredible activists creating a brighter future. This is Casey Camp's story of the Ponca people and fighting to protect the Rights of Nature.

Making Change Together

We make movies that make a difference

Our first movie, The Story of Stuff, started it all, launching an honest conversation about our consumption-crazed culture. Since then, we've produced dozens more animated shorts and documentaries that chart a path to a more just and sustainable future.

Want to help write the next chapter in the Story of Stuff? Whatever you have to offer, a better future needs it! Take our Changemaker Personality Quiz to see what role you can play in the movement.

We're part of a global movement working to hold polluters accountable and put people over profit. Join the movement for a future free from plastic pollution by taking action with us today.

How to run your own clean up.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
If you're keen to run a clean-up with your family, school or community group or a team from work, we can help you out. We've put together the resources you need to do it yourself.

We will provide you with how-to guides for planning clean-up events. You can also find information about this on our resources page. Depending on your location and our availability, we may be able to deliver our awareness presentation to your group before the event.

Our DIY kits include reusable sacks, gloves, hand sanitiser, sharps container, auditing tarpaulin and data collection sheet, and safety briefing. These are free for families, community groups, non-profits and educational institutions. For use by for-profit organisations we ask for a minimum contribution of $230 to cover administration and equipment costs.

Please request your kit with at least five working days prior to your clean-up for Auckland-based clean-ups. Requests outside of Auckland require 10 working days' notice and a $25 courier fee to be paid.

This DIY option is for groups handling their event self-sufficiently - from selecting a site to rubbish disposal. If you are interested in a tailored event with support from our staff, please visit our 'book an event' page.

To request your kit or ask any questions, please contact the team on .
