We wanted to teach children and young people to protect the environment, to consume consciously and to recognize which paths they can take. Many everyday habits are learned and students of this age rarely recognize the effects of, for example, the constant desire for the latest cell phone or that eating meat should not be an everyday occurrence. Participants should: -actively work on environmental protection and develop your own ideas about it -Develop awareness of their responsibilities -Develop an understanding of the interrelationship between the environment and people -learn how to pass on their insights -learn to avoid waste/take recycling for granted -learn to adapt their needs to the need for environmental protection -become aware of the existing problems -Get to know and absorb ideas from other countries (partners) on environmentally conscious behavior/waste avoidance/recycling - present successful examples from their home country and their community/school to the other partners, specifically on the topics of waste reduction and recycling
In our modern age, we increasingly realize that we live almost on the edge of what is acceptable on our home planet. The world's population has grown more rapidly in the last 1,000 years than in any previous year. It can be assumed that the 10 trillion mark will be exceeded by the year 2100. We therefore have to deal with the natural resources we have available differently than before. The custom of the “throwaway society” and the desire to get as much as possible for as little money as possible must be a thing of the past. Every person has the desire to live in a healthy environment and to be physically and mentally healthy. Every parent wants their child to have a future on this earth. We would like to make this wish a reality; the best way to do this is to start developing beneficial habits in childhood. We wanted to show what our current “throwaway behavior” causes, what happens if we continue to overexploit to this extent and, above all, how each individual can change this.
