Our consumer habits are at the heart of the planet’s environmental crisis. Whether contributing to climate change through factory emissions and transportation, or impacting biodiversity through pollution and waste materials, our need to own the latest electronic device or follow the latest fashion trend has led us to consume natural resources at a rate that far exceeds the planet’s capacity to renew them. Through this topic, students will delve deeper into the issue of overconsumption and decide whether we can carry on as we are, or whether we need to drastically change our ways in order to protect our planet and its wildlife, and if so, whose responsibility is it to bring about that change? Your students will decide. Born Free’s Great Debate provides teachers with the tools to engage their students in meaningful debates about key wildlife or environmental topics. Students will not only gain knowledge about the this topic, but also skills that will help them to research, frame and deliver an argument. Armed with these skills, young people are more equipped to take action to reduce their impact on the environment, and to encourage others to follow. Lesson one – Our Consumer Habits Discuss key terms around consumption and look at what drives us to consume goods and services. Lesson two – The Impacts Of Overconsumption Discover the impacts of the fashion and electronics industry on the environment, people and wildlife. Lesson three/ Homework – Research Research and frame opposing sides of the debate. Is it the responsibility of decision makers and companies to curb our consumption, or down to us as individuals? Lesson four – The Great Debate Participate, listen and learn through a formal debate. Lesson five – Action Planning Identify calls to action and create a campaign to bring about local change.

Wildlife and Farming: What does the future look like for cattle farming? Demand for beef and dairy products continues to rise around the world. Yet with 39% of Earth’s habitable land already used for livestock farming, and some farming methods causing damage to habitats, water courses and the climate, can we continue to farm cattle in the same way, or do we need to reduce our consumption? Born Free’s Great Debate aims to provide teachers with the tools to engage their students in meaningful debates about key wildlife or environmental topics. Students will not only gain knowledge about the debate topic, but also skills that will help them to research, frame and deliver an argument. Armed with these skills, young people are more equipped to take action such as reducing their impact on biodiversity and the environment, by making simple lifestyle changes, and encouraging others to follow. Lesson one – Land Conversion & Deforestation Animal agriculture has changed over time, but what impact does this have on wild habitats? Lesson two – Pollution & Climate Change Identify some of the environmental costs of intensive cattle farming. Lesson three – Biodiversity Loss Understand the effect that intensive cattle farms can have on biodiversity and that different farming techniques can have different impacts. Lesson four – Holding the Debate Participate, listen and learn through a formal debate. Lesson five – Action Planning Identify calls to action for a campaign and make a plan to bring about local change.
