A summary of the project

Nowadays environment problems are becoming more and more serious. A clean environment makes us live a better life. Among the other ways of protecting the environment, recycling is of great importance, as we need to reduce waste in homes, school and workplaces. We, as teachers, have the moral duty to shape our students' attitude and behaviour in terms of environment protection and then teach them how to create a better world through recycling. There are many items we throw every day and it is in our hands to change this and reduce landfill.   Why should a child's parent throw away plastic glasses or bottles when we can make objects to be used at home and at school? Why should we throw away worksheets we use at school every day when we can make things to be used in classrooms as teaching materials? Why should we throw old clothes when we can create new ones using our creativity? And these are just a few examples.

That is why Romania, Greece, Malta, Italy and Finland decided to make a partnership whose main aim is to foster awareness among students, teachers, parents and local communities for being more environmental conscious by changing waste into useful objects.
