What does World Environment Day mean to you?

How do you try to live sustainably in harmony with nature as the theme states?

What do you think we, as a School, can do to further highlight environmental issues, and the very real concept that there is ‘Only One Earth’?

What do you think are the most important issues? And where do you, as an individual, think that you can have a real impact?

How do you talk about these issues in a way that is hopeful?

Can you tell us any good news about our planet? Are there steps that we, as a society, are starting to take, that are having any impacts yet?

There is no escaping the increasing concern about the impacts of climate change on our planet and of course on our lives, and the many lives around us. Are we doing enough to address its impacts? Or do we feel paralysed by a sense of hopelessness and overwhelm at the sheer magnitude of the problem?

In this episode of Illumine from the Students, host Ms Jacinda Euler, Principal of Brisbane Girls Grammar School, discusses World Environment Day and climate change more generally with Science Teacher, Mrs Chris Woodford and three students from the School's conservation group, Anna (Year 8), Evie (Year 10) and Madison (Year 12).
