He aquí algunas de las que hemos realizado entre el año pasado y este año.

  2 Concurso ¡No siembres tus pilas!  (con el juego de palabras en francés, "semer" que quiere decir también dispersar por ahí) Para sensibilzar a la contaminación de la Naturaleza por las pilas y baterias tiradas en el suelo.  Tenemos fotos de las acciones.

3 Un taller de réalización de papel reciclado. Para que los chicos aprendan la importancia de reutilizar los recursos como el papel, y por qué no debemos malgastarlo. Tenemos también un vídeo.

  4 Créación de una mini planta de depuración de agua. Esta acción esta en curso de realización y los alumnos de Quinto grado van a publicar aquí los resultados.(Los alumnos de Laure Savrot  realizaron un video)

GOETHEGYMNASIUM, WIEN (6B)

The 6B students researched in small groups ways to help the environment at school and also on a global scale. Therafter they presented their ideas. Farther down you can see the posters. As a class, in order to show their commitment, they decided to contribute a little bit for a better environment. After seeing and discussing the film "Plastic Planet" they tried to live without the use of plastic for a week; however, all of them failed, as unfortunately we are surrounded by plastic in every area of life. At the latest when brushing their teeth. Nevertheless, some of them decided to reduce their use of plastic, in particular, plastic bags and bottles. Moreover, they decided on these points how to help the environment at school: 

- switch out the lights when leaving the classroom (and not turning them on when there is enough daylight)

- trying to use more local products to avoid long ways of transportation

- recycling (paper and residual waste)

- trying to avoid plastic bottles and bags (instead using glass bottles and reusable bags)

- bying a part of the rainforest to be save from deforestation

- some of them decided to donate money to an environmental group (pressure group) 

The project on envionment was interesting but also shocking and an eye opener to the students.
