Do stuff that matters journal - turn your ideas into action for the environment
The Do stuff that matters journal - turn your ideas into action for the environment is a resource that has been designed by young people to support more young people to turn their ideas into action for the environment. It can be used as a stand alone resource to work through your passions and ideas, or it can accompany the NextGen Landcare Youth Forum recordings or your very own mini-forum or brainstorming session.
