EcoHome [Pty] Ltd
EcoHome is a unique Environmental Education program for young learners, empowering them with the knowledge and values that are necessary to become caretakers of our planet, Earth. EcoHome’s activities allow the learners to assemble an eco-house as well as 16 eco-friendly items. Each of the items represents sustainable living. There are nine exciting and fun lessons and stories with characters that are EcoHome warriors and superheroes. The EcoHome’s family narrates the stories. As they assemble each item, the item becomes part of their EcoHome and garden, achieving an example of an environmentally friendly home and lifestyle. The 16 items comprise nine lessons which correspond with the nine stories. The lessons teach the young learners important information such as the different types of energy and how all living things need the energy to move, think and jump and so much more; what it means when we talk about renewable and non-renewable resources; what the outcome is if we do not preserve these resources; how life on Earth would cease to exist if we destroy trees and diminish our water resources; without bees, we have no pollination, therefore no plants can grow, and, how frogs consume billions of insects and flies each year, making them valuable to agriculture and pest control and essential to the environment. The EcoHome program assists educators with the advancement of Environmental Education by addressing the challenges of limited resources, teacher training, as well as awareness and prioritisation.
