Converse Conserve 

by Nicolle Kuna and her contributors.

Converse Conserve is about changing up our style of campaigning and thinking about innovative ways of spreading our Green Message.
Whether it be in Schools, and at work, or just how we talk about environmental messages with our friends and family, we try to build fun and creativity in to the process.  
​
Changing Up in inspiring ways - is our theme on this site. 

Doing without thinking. 

Promoting new actions without rationalising, moralising, preaching.

Changing our habits can happen without necessarily intending a lifestyle change, and being conscious of the behaviour change. 
At the height of the Pandemic (Covid19) this is precisely what has happened! Despite being less conscious of environmental issues, and we have positively been improving our footprint, at least for the time being. The benefits have been reaped widely, as we are using our cars, travelling and consuming less, leading to a global drop in carbon emissions, and a reduction in the use of oil, and other non-renewable resources.

   
On a personal level,  being home a lot more during the Pandemic, we have had more opportunity to rediscover 'treasures' lying around the house and garden to 
UPCYCLE and REUSE : 

such as BRICKS dug up and turned in to PATHS, CLOTHES reshaped and repurposed, plastics turned in to decorations, spray or pump BOTTLES refilled with bathroom products, jars for preserves.  A shrunken KNITTED dress got upcycled in to a handbag.  
ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION  PROJECTS AND ACTIVITIES are a key focus on this site. 

Environmental education 
games and projects raise awareness at school, on camps,  workplace and community actions (Fundraisers) and at home.  At Converse Conserve.com, we feel the more wholistic and MULTI DIMENSIONAL the learning is, the more likely the information will be imprinted in the child's sub-conscious and conscious mind. 

The approaches to learning is geared moreso to ENVIRONMENTAL DOING  and application, and less ANALYSIS.
