Q1
In National quality standard, quality area 3 stands for physical environment and its
upbringing and caring of environment is highly facilitated under this standard. In addition, future
sustainability of natural elements is monitored properly under this authentic and scientific
practice.
Q2
Quality area three is made up of two major elements for facilitating both the nature and
children at any consequences. The first element provides information that service operation has
to be accomplished under sustainable practice and the second element defines importance of
children’s participation for environmental sustainability.
Q3
Two aspects of sustainability are environmental sustainability and self sustaining formula
of sustainability. In case of first approach, all the elements of nature are addressed to be
preserved and nurture in a proper manner (Güven & Yılmaz, 2017). On the other hand, self
sustaining defines the establishment of correct environmental awareness program among
children from vey early childhood.
Q4
Two major kind of sustainability practice that our service performed currently are
reduced the usage of water for business and storage of non-renewable energy. Both of them have
facilitated to minimise pollution rate of environment in a proficient manner.
Q5
Sustainable practice can be embedding within the operation by delivering different kinds

Q6
Children can be environmentally responsible and show respect to the nature by
incorporating sustainable and active learning process. This formula can be accomplished by
creating garden beside home or encouraging them to compost waste materials. On the other
hand, observation of wildlife and create an area for pet can help them to be environmentally
responsible.
Q7
Sustainable practices can be improved in the following three areas during procurement of
environmental friendly service. Training for staff has to be provided by service authority to
improve business deliverance. On the other hand, reuse of waste materials can be fulfilled for
ensuring better service for natural phenomenon. Along with this, behaviour of the staff and
managing committee has to be modified for assuring correct operation management at any
consequences.
Q8
Service can be considered in natural environment by providing eco-friendly co-existence
and negative effect of environment can be reduced. Apart from this, waste management of
disposable goods are required for assuring environmental friendly service. In addition, avoiding
of detergent in washing process can help to provide sustainable business environment on a daily
basis.
Q9
Generally, three sources of toxins that service may contact with are poisonous plant
(milky mangrove, oleander and more) materials, bio toxins from animals and food toxins. On the
other hand, chemical cleaners, detergents, plastics, solvents and cigarette wastes are potential
toxicants. All of them reduce the viability of operation management of service by minimising
effectiveness in a potential manner.

Children can connect with nature by providing outdoor play, outdoor learning activities
and caring of natural substances. All of these are helpful to evoke interaction of children with
nature at any circumstances. On the other hand, co-operation with environmental facts can help
the children to understand natural constraints and environmental sustainability can be managed
from childhood (Leslie, 2018).
Q11
Recycling, use of resources and definition of animal habitats from same locality can be
discussed with children to make them familiar with nature. Apart from this, interest regarding
nature can also be developed among children by discussing this facts and their viability in a
correct order.
Q12
I can suggest children to go to different geographic location for discovering and learning
about environmental sustainability in a better manner. Mountains, deserts, sea water, coral
islands, trees, rocks, forests, sand, people, urban buildings and others are suggested to them for
developing natural knowledge in a correct way.
Q13
Educators can engage children to explore environmental sustainability through nature by
providing suitable policy of communication. Along with this, re-examination of nature and waste
management program can also be entertained by the educator for delivering factorials of
environmental education for children.
Q14
Sustainable practices can be promoted for children for acquiring professional
development among staff. In addition, connecting with natural world can be facilitated through
establishment of home premises garden and recycling of waste products. On the other hand,
natural connection can be developed in a proper way to deliver projects for students regarding
any environmental objects.
