The concept of sustainable living gained traction in the last decade and was increasingly recognized in the mainstream media.
People are now more used to reading product information and began to pay more attention to what they ate, wore, and how their activities impacted the world. This has also promoted ESG investments among corporations.
Although it may seem to be a costly trend, sustainable living is simply a wise use of resources that can help mitigate the harm we have already done. While much is undertaken for public consciousness about the significance and importance of sustainability, there is still much more to be addressed.
Our offspring will carry on where we leave behind, so we must teach them about sustainable living and dispel the myth that it costs a fortune. Let us start with the importance of ESG education that benefits students.
Improves Academic Performance
ESG education raises test scores by teaching pupils about the natural world in stimulating lessons that can be extended to all areas of study and levels.
Busting the Bubble of Staying Indoors
Sustainable education is an alternative to today’s gen’s lifestyles since they are the first to grow up indoors. Children who have access to school grounds or play areas with various natural settings are more physically active, nutritionally conscious, imaginative, and civil to each other.
Improving Students’ Lives
ESG education is important because it brings students outside and keeps them engaged while also preventing common childhood health problems, including obesity, attention deficit disorder, and loneliness.
Meeting the Demands of Modern Times
Teaching sustainability promotes skills like asking, researching, identifying problems, evaluating, understanding, reasoning, developing assumptions, and coming up with solutions necessary for success in today’s world.
Nurturing Leadership Skills
When students are aware of ESG practices, they cultivate leadership qualities in them. It is a process where students take part in group activities by working with each other in collaboration. They develop critical thought and debate, emphasising action plans with practical uses, which sustainability emphasizes.
Conclusion
Since ESG or sustainability is not confined to these benefits to kids only, it is also a major phenomenon in the real world.
Corporations these days are putting extra efforts to implement ESG standards to promote their products or services and contribute to a better, greener world. So, teaching students about sustainability will also enable them to be responsible adult when they grow up.
