Hi people! :)
Please, I need your help!
In the school I work, we are supposed to work (and present) with our students something about sustainability. We are in the "language area" about this subject. Do you have any ideas or any website suggestions? Or does your country or city have a specific project or law about this theme? The students are 10-14 years old.
Anything you have will be nice!
Thanks in advance!
Hugs,
Agostine

"Cradle
to Cradle"
William McDonough and
Michael Braungart have written a book called, �Remaking the Way we Make Things� (the book itself is printed on a synthetic �paper, � made from
plastic resins and inorganic fillers which is designed to look and feel like top
quality paper while also being waterproof and durable and can be easily be
recycled � a �tree-less� book. )
In a world that has consumed, demanded
and disposed of everything for far too long, the two men have worked together
to inspire firms and even nations (e.g. China), to look carefully at the waste
they produce in the production field (and housing) and search for solutions
where, in some cases, the state of the land and recourses, are in a better shape
because
of the existence of the company, than it was before. Their philosophy
is WASTE = FOOD. What is left after production and at the end of the product�s
life should be fully recyclable and/or biodegradable (an example =the felt used
to protect strawberry plants in winter then composts around the plant giving
the roots nutrients.)
There �s a very interesting film on Youtube (about 40 minutes -in English). Maybe you could use it and do a project around the idea. It �s really worth checking out, I think.
Wishes
Mandy
