In this very special episode, the Podkids discuss the seven principles of "Leave No Trace Australia". Our environment is very precious, and the seven principles help us to make wise decisions when we are spending time in the natural environment.

The podcast contains several great songs, including "New York, New York", "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" and "I Still Call Australia Home". We hope you enjoy it!
