Our teacher has proposed doing an eco-project
to develop it at school. This is my proposal.
1. Our aim
We have a double aim:
- To improve the ecological use in our school
- To develop a bigger ecological awareness into the staff and the students.
2. The proposal of activities
The activities must be available and useful to
arise people's ecological awareness. They could be aimed at three
aspects:
- Saving energy
- Recycling
- Reusing
About saving energy
This aspect could be focused on the means of
transport and the electric energy.
For the first one I propose to make a big wall
chart with this title: "Cádiz, a town within your feet reach".
The students will put on it their advice,
messages, warnings, etc. about different ways of moving across Cádiz,
avoiding pollution and enjoying our town.
About
recycling
The
school must be provided with different containers, at least, for papers and
plastics, so that people can separate
the waste .
I
propose also, to work in groups, making posters with small diagrams, where we could see the benefits of recycling. For example, how plastic bottles can be
made into coats.
These
small posters would be exposed in a big wall area with the slogan:
"Find out. Be
responsible. Recycle."
About reusing
We
must encourage people to be imaginative to find ways of reusing. For example, an old
T-shirt for cleaning; a plastic container for gardening, etc...
Each person could tell us their experiences,
writing them, and putting all of them, on a big poster. The slogan would be:
"give them a second opportunity"
Display
As a final activity we
could have a display with our own recycling and reusing objects.
3. Time to develop the plan
This activities can be evolved in the course of one or
two courses, depending on the date of beginning.
