FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

• We are FOCUSING...on case studies from around the world that showcase how people have exploited resources on earth due to economic gain eg food waste, oil drilling, e-waste, poaching, deforestation,
• We are FOCUSING on these activities impact on the environment and how communities and effected from these environmental problems
• We are FOCUSING...on creating solutions to reduce/ resolve these problems
