Waterways: behaviour change

We have the power to help keep our coastlines, rivers, lakes, swamps, creeks, floodplains, billabongs and estuaries clean by diverting rubbish from our waterways. We can all be change makers. By altering our everyday habits such as limiting our use of single-use plastic items, we can also inspire others to do the same. This learning activity is part of a sequence of 2 individual learning activities focused on cleaning up our waterways. The order of these learning activities are: clean-up and behaviour change. OUTCOMES of this learning activity are for children to: understand our role as custodians of the land and waterways; look at our behaviours and how they impact our waterways positively or negatively; appreciate that our actions can make a visible difference to the health of our waterways; and value water as a precious asset that sustains us and other living things who share the earth with us; and influence others to change their behaviour to positively impact our waterways.
