  • Wonderful ideas - Craving for more

    This is just the podcast we all need to spark new green ideas. Every month I look forward to seeing what’s next in the feed and how can I apply it not only in the classroom but also in my daily life. I have greatly enjoyed all episodes, especially the young panel talking about their sustainable teachings at school and what would they add. I can’t wait for what’s next at Talking with Green Teachers. Keep up the great work!
