Aim of Badge
One of the targets of the UN Sustainable Development Goal 12 is to ensure that people everywhere have the relevant information and awareness for sustainable development and lifestyles in harmony with nature by 2030. There are 6 activities in this badge. Activity 1 is compulsory. Complete any three of the remaining parts 2-6.

Introduction
Activity No. 6: Take part in 1 of the following:
a. Make a bag from an old t-shirt
b. Make a toy from recycled materials (see choice challenge no. 15)
c. Make a beeswax wrap (with help from a Leader)
d. Dried fruit/salt dough decorations
e. Make a picture book suitable for your age group about leading a sustainable life

Instructions for Option C:
• Preheat your oven to 100 degrees Celsius.
• Cut your material to sizes which will comfortably fit on your baking tray. 30cm by 30cm will fit the majority of sandwiches.
• Line your baking tray with parchment paper and place your fabric on top.
• Grate beeswax. Allow the girls to sprinkle grated beeswax or beeswax pellets liberally onto fabric.
• Place in the oven for between four and eight minutes, until completely melted.
• Use a clean paintbrush to spread the beeswax over entire fabric (the beeswax will stick to the brush so make sure it is one you are happy to use for future beeswax wraps only!)
• After a minute or so of drying on the tray, carefully remove from tray and allow to air dry.
• Allow the girls to customize their wraps with buttons or small patches. They could also sew in their name.
