Activity – Worksheet – E Block
1. 2-3 groups select a room nearby to consider for this exercise eg. classroom, lab, office
2. Identify activities carried out, resources used, how measured and potential improvements
3. Record findings on worksheet

Where to from here?
Recap - conclusion
1. Consider sustainability – Triple Bottom Line and beyond
2. If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it
3. It’s a journey – but you need to have a vision, strategies, actions and resources to make it happen
4. It starts and ends with you
