Early Childhood Environmentalists:shared responsibily for the environment

Children can contribute to saving the planet against climate change. A research student from Stellenbosch University explained this recently at a seminar on exploring ecological learning in early childhood development.
Here in Australia, in the field of early childhood, we already appreciate this and incorporate much outdoor learning and love of nature in our days with young children.
