Systems thinking: Students will select an environmental issue related to a local waterway and use a systems thinking tool to explore how different aspects of sustainability, such as nature, economy, society and personal wellbeing, are interconnected and affect the environment around us. At the end of the activity, students reflect on what actions can be taken to promote sustainable behaviour toward their chosen waterway.
