By implementing this project we wanted to raise awareness on environmental issues such as pollution, recycling, water scarcity and the little ,but at the same time important and very necessary, actions to reduce the harmful impact of humans on nature we can all do. We wanted to observe nature and our everyday areas such as schools, homes and the nearest forests. We wanted to do some research and see the strong and weak points in our recycling process, in our saving water methods, in reducing waste and how to improve all the areas that are in a very low rating in terms of environment and caring for a better future. We believe that schools are the starting point, if we succeed in making our students see the urgent need to change habits they will implement them at home and once at home the changes will spread throughout society in a worldwide movement. Making students observe nature by themselves, recognizing the consequences of not recycling at all or properly, and drawing their own conclusions are the most effective ways to get teenagers into action. Making them believe they are in charge of a real and profound change in society, making them be the real rulers of this change will make the rest of the society change, too.
We applied for this project as environmental problems pose a great threat to the future of our planet. Climate change, environmental pollution and water scarcity are the main issues. To prevent these threats, many meetings and conferences have been held in the international arena and certain measures have been taken. Our students are an important part of society and are the real founders of the future. Raising their awareness is one of the best investments we can all make for the future of our planet. So, our main goal was to raise awareness on saving our planet. We truly believed that cooperating and exchanging knowledge could create a significant learning process. Students and also teachers could learn from each other, knowing and understanding different realities, cultures, and languages. Moreover, the actual situation of the environmental crisis made us think that students should realize the importance of starting to change some harmful habits towards nature. It should be a global movement to reverse the damage we are doing to our planet and the actions should be carried out now and worldwide. Through observation and then coming out with possible solutions students could notice that little actions could make a difference.
