<p><span><span><span><span><span><span>If each generation has a greater understanding of environmental issues, we will see more and more positive change and sustainable lifestyles in the future.&nbsp; We wanted to share some of Skateistan’s lesson plans here, which could be adapted and incorporated into your own sessions:</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>

</ul>

<p><span><span><span><span><span><span>It’s also important that we are talking about how our projects’ operations can be more green.&nbsp; We don’t have the answers here, but would love to be a part of the conversation.&nbsp; Some things which would be good to discuss are:</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>

<ul>
	<li>
	<p><span><span><span><span><span><span>Is there a more eco-friendly way to run international volunteer schemes that minimizes flights?</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>

	<li>
	<p><span><span><span><span><span><span>Can gear donations be arranged with a lower carbon footprint?</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>

	<p><span><span><span><span><span><span>Are there nifty ways of recycling and reusing old skateboarding parts which we haven’t thought about?</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
	</li>
</ul>

<p><span><span><span><span><span><span>We’d love to hear from Goodpushers on this topic.&nbsp; If you have any ideas about this, or any suggestions then please feel free to contribute to <a href="https://www.goodpush.org/node/676">this</a> forum topic.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
