Nowadays, we consume in a way that our environment can't handle. All available data indicates the ever-intensifying excessive consumption of modern society. These trends make a significant change through which our planet passes: decreasing natural resources and energy sources, widespread landfills, pollution, and endangered natural assets. The lives of all of us, individually and collectively, are inconsistent with the lives of the Earth, to which we leave many negative consequences. All our modern life behaviors produce more or less the same amount of CO2 emissions, which affect our atmosphere, ecosystems, and life in general. Even if we immediately stopped CO2 emissions, we wouldn't stop this process, but at least we could slow it down by changing attitudes and behaviors. The Environment Commissioner said that one in every eight deaths in Europe could be linked to pollution. There is a clear link between the state of the environment and the health of our population, so by taking care of our planet and environment, we are saving the ecosystems we live in and our lives. The EU report noted evident differences between Eastern and Western Europe. Eastern Europe and southern Europe are poorer and more polluted than the rest of Europe. These socially deprived communities typically struggle under a triple burden of poverty, poor-quality environments, and ill health. Other huge European issues are food waste and loss. When food ends up in landfills, it contributes to greenhouse gas emissions. Following that, the objectives of this youth exchange were: 1. To explore and analyze current environmental issues of our communities; 2. To enrich and expand young people's knowledge of how our everyday actions affect the Earth; 3. To introduce the concept of sustainable living through the eco-footprint (low waste philosophy; carbonless nutrition; 4R - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Repurpose); 4. To develop critical thinking and foster proactive attitudes towards environmental issues; 5. To promote nonformal education and Erasmus+ Programme as a support tool for health education; 6. To raise participants' awareness and understanding of other cultures and countries, offering them the opportunity to build networks of international contacts, participate actively in society, and develop a sense of European citizenship and identity.
