PROJECT: Why so mean?
What should we be aware of? Why should we care about the world around us?
That’s exactly what KIDZ who CARE & are AWARE are discovering this time.
MAX’s story
Disrespect can really hurt the people around us — especially older people like our grandparents.
It can make them feel lonely, left out, and even sad about themselves.
Would you want anyone to treat your grandma or grandpa that way?
I wouldn’t — and I bet you wouldn’t either!

This time, it was my turn to find out how unkind behaviour can hurt someone…

ILLIGAL DUMPING
Did you know that illegal dumping of rubbish in the bush destroys the natural habitat of hundreds of animals?
It also costs governments tens of millions of dollars to clean it all up.
But can we ever really undo all the damage our rubbish causes to the forest?
How would you feel about illegal dumping in the middle of the bush?

LITTERING AT THE BEACH
Did you know that over 75% of the waste found on Australian beaches is plastic?
This plastic can seriously harm marine animals — it can wrap around them or get stuck in their bodies.
Even worse, sea creatures like turtles and fish often mistake plastic for food.
It can hurt them badly, or even kill them.
What happens if we don’t pick up all the rubbish?
Can it affect sea animals?
ONI’s story
BULLYING
Did you know that leaving someone out on the playground can really hurt their feelings?
It can make them feel lonely, sad, and like they don’t belong.
About 1 in 4 kids in Australia say they get bullied every few weeks or more.
Bullying and exclusion can make school feel scary instead of fun.
Should we play with other kids — even if they look or behave a little differently from us?
