Episode 58: How to Incorporate Sustainability and the Environment into Your Lessons Without Boring Your Students with Harry Waters

Do you and your students groan when you reach the ‘environment’ unit in your course book? Well, this cracker of an episode is for you. I spoke to the thoroughly lovely Harry Waters of Renewable English about his career, his passion for the environment and how teachers can approach this topic in a different way to the boring old course book approach of ‘Here’s Our Unit on the Environment’.Forgive us for not always staying on topic. Digressions include: our love of teacher training, mindfulness, our failed attempts at veganism, a shared affinity for charity shops and leopard-print, the lexical chunk and our mutual hatred of ironing....Episode Shownotes:Connect with Harry atwww.renewableenglish.com, @renewableenglish on Insta, @Renewable English on Facebook or @renewableenglish on Twitterwww.eltfootprint.orghttps://www.sustainablefashionmatterz.com/Connect with Vanessa Hartson Walker on @edoandsassy on Insta and her website http://www.kidscan.org.nzTheme music by @sean.cass (Instagram).Join my Breathe Easy, Teacher newsletter community here: http://subscribepage.io/0a49drContact me: ⁠erin@refreshyourteaching.com⁠Like, share, DM me and follow me on Instagram @https://www.instagram.com/everythingeflteacher/ and on Facebook@www.facebook.com/groups/eflteachersupport/Subscribe to Youtube @Everything EFL for teaching tip videos and full podcast episodes with Closed Captions.Connect with me on LinkedIn @ https://www.linkedin.com/in/erin-o-byrne-90b58a55/Subscribe to the podcast on Spotify, Google Podcasts, Apple.... and don’t forget to tell your colleagues.
