Background

No matter where we live, all people are affected by climate changes, we can see it now more clearly then ever. There aren't many things more important than the state of our natural environment. Due to climate changes, we encounter problems we haven't expected to happen. We all need to undertake actions, but first people have to learn what solutions should be applied to introduce as much greenery as possible around us, to save water or protect clean air. So our motivation for this project implementation was to: 1)make young people and their families aware of necessity to take actions to help our local environment, 2)show them that they have the power to influence our present situation and their future by shaping their pro-ecological behaviour and by encouraging people to take the responsibility for the nature around us as well. In recent times we can observe too many tragic effects of forest fires, droughts and rapid floods on people and our environment. Now we know that we have too much concrete and not enough greenery in our cities and towns which are hotter than villages. Through our project we wanted to make as many people as possible be aware of the need to do our best to fight the dramatic outcomes of the climate changes.
