Purpose
"Be a
Consumer Hero!" is a student-created project on consumerism. Built around the
celebration of the International Buy Nothing Day, the theme of our
project is expressed in our slogan :
"Be a
Consumer Hero, not a Consumer Zero!
Stand up against the pressure
to BUY! BUY! BUY!"
In our project you can learn about the impact of advertising on consumer spending and
how over-consumption has become a huge environmental problem in the world today.
Created and illustrated entirely by students (9-11 year olds) the site
challenges students especially in well-developed countries to reflect
on the difference between wants and needs and to understand and begin
to practice the 6 R's of environmental and global citizenship locally.
The project
questions the "shop-till-you-drop" life style and its effects on
the world. This is done
through student research, student-created "chose-your-own-adventure"
stories ("Didi's Dilemma" and "FUZ Gets
Frazzled"), our art gallery, action plans, survey and multi-media
presentations.
