Rights, Needs, and Wants

Our planet has provided us with an abundance of natural resources. We need to utilize them responsibly and currently consume far beyond what our planet can provide. This chapter tackles SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) and SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) to invite children to develop global citizenship by understanding how they can make a difference with their actions. Our actions in an interconnected world have effects and mark our footprint. SDG 12 explores how we can help our environment by changing our consumption and production action patterns. Two main ways that every one of us can help is by reducing waste and being thoughtful about where we buy our food and clothes. Simple changes can have a big impact on our society.
