“…The circular economy implementation in our society could be facilitated through environmental communication campaigns regarding the stakeholders' perceptions [11,12]. Thus, based on the fact that some of the stakeholders' perceptions came from their education, this study considers the importance of environmental learning in children to modify the future behaviour of stakeholders.…”

Abstract:The European circular economy action plan, launched in 2015 includes a group of measures aligned with the 3r principles. To meet recycling goals, valuable materials such as aluminium must have packaging that helps to increase their recycling rate above the current 45.6%. This recycling rate could be improved with the help of current consumers and the education of future generations. In this way, the aim of this study is to prove the positive effects of childhood education in the circular economy by teaching sustainable practices in the case of aluminium packaging recycling. The study was conducted in the form of a survey, with data being gathered via questionnaires carried out "pre" and "post" workshop in schools of different regions of Spain in students between 8 and 12 years old. This study provides an exciting opportunity to advance our knowledge of the use of workshops to increase children's knowledge, awareness, and intention of recycling.

Abstract Natural environment should be cared and sustained. It is a place for human to live and develop their social and economical world. Moreover, it is also a site for many biodiversity to live together in a balanced ecosystem. Recently, global awareness is directed to the alarming destruction of environment and its' potential threats for human and other living things, as the impacts of human social-economical activities. Many efforts are executed to avoid or minimize future environmental damage. One of those endeavours is environmental education for young generation. Growing children's environmental knowledge, protection skills and management as well as caring and responsible character can be an endurant solution. This study aims to examine some learning aspects in environmental education through green school development in MI Walisongo, Desa Sawohan, Sidoarjo. The study is based on a qualitative inquiry conducted by using direct participant observation as its' data collection method. The study finds that environmental education requires a wide range of learning experiences, relating to emotion, direct practice and cognition development. In Green School MI Walisongo Desa Sawohan, those experiences are manifested into several learning processes: participative learning, modeling, character building, green site building, learning through game and peer team working.

“…Up until the late 1970s New South Wales' urban and related development planning activity was authorised by various customary or existing usage rights and by the Local Government Act 1919 which had been amended at the end of World War II by the Local Government (Town and Country Planning) Amendment Act 1945 No 21 to provide for town and country planning schemes to be developed [9]. Plans and schemes tended to be quite localised, without deep consideration as to the larger needs of balanced development of the State.…”

Securing domestic production of pulp and paper is important for Australia due to the country's relative economic isolation and its historical reliance on imports of paper and other forest products. However, Australia has had a chequered history of dispute and investment risk surrounding major pulp and paper developments. A brief history of this industry sector's development reveals a complex interplay between science, community sentiment, ideology, politics and regional development imperatives. A lack of suitable sustainable planning instruments and approaches has hindered advancement towards the balanced, modern development of the industry. In New South Wales, the State planning law was one of the first, globally, to embrace and explicitly include attention to the principles of ecologically sustainable development for all project assessments. It has enabled, with its suitably-applied regulatory apparatus, the successful approval and environmental permitting of a number of major industrial projects which have embodied many of the attributes of modern circular manufacturing. A case study of such a successful major investment in the pulp and paper sector is presented. The study highlights the central importance of up-front sustainability commitments by project proponents in their engagement with the community through the statutory planning system. In concert with timely and efficient performance monitoring and reporting disciplines, a high degree of investment certainty for such ambitious projects has been possible. It is concluded that, as well as good science and transparent assessment processes, success in major industrial projects required the adoption of a culture of continuous innovation and process improvement, throughout the life of the project, to realise genuinely sustainable development.
