Toolbox of Ideas
• Involve people; use local languages
• Use all available media, backed by poster campaigns and education
• Relate global and national issues to local situations; make familiar
• Encourage people to find their own solutions
• Provide information for key champions eg teachers, labour unions, gvt
officials, politicians
• Provide support to help people turn proposals and ideas into actions
• Involve volunteers, especially youth, in local projects
• Use information centres such as botanic gardens, protected areas,
museums, aquaria, to inform visitors especially school groups
