The document summarizes research from New Zealand and Australia on listening to young children's perspectives on sustainability. It describes two parts of the research project: Part 1 involved interviews with 36 children aged 2-5 to understand their views, and Part 2 engaged 165 children and 27 teachers across 5 early childhood centers to gather data on children's ideas for making their centers more sustainable based on the "7 R's" framework of respect, reflect, rethink, reduce, reuse, recycle, and redistribute. Key findings showed that children demonstrated knowledge of complex sustainability concepts and had practical suggestions in various areas addressed by the 7 R's. [END SUMMARY]
