Today, we are going to talk about a topic that concerns not only us but also the generations to come - Sustainability. As the world is moving forward, we must realize that it is essential to preserve and protect our environment and natural resources for future generations.

Warm-Up Activity: Sustainability Storytelling

Let us start with a warm-up activity to get us in the mood for the day's lesson. We will do a Sustainability Storytelling activity. In this activity, each student will tell a story about how they or someone they know takes care of the environment.

Make sure to emphasize the following points while telling your stories:

• The problem that your story addresses
• The solution used to address the problem
• The result of the solution used

Group Discussion: Why is Sustainability Important?

Now that we have heard a few stories about sustainability, let us move on to a group discussion.

In groups of four, discuss the following questions:

1. Why do you think sustainability is important?
2. Name a few examples of actions that individuals or communities can take to promote sustainability?

After discussing within your group, one person from each group will share the group's thoughts with the whole class.

Conclusion: Our Role in Sustainable Future

Sustainability is a responsibility that falls on the shoulders of every individual. As we come to the end of our lesson, I want you to reflect upon your role in creating a sustainable future.

Remember, every little step counts, and by doing our bit, we can make the world a greener place.
