Together for the environment what we know- what we want to know-what have we learned



 what we know- what we want to know-what have we learned

At the end of October  group of 25 students and 11 teachers took part in the library of our school at the activity that aimed to found out what our students know about environment , environmental issues in our country and environment protection . We discussed together about these subjects and we were pleased to see the pleasure and the involvement of our students in this topic. Beside the things they knew , our students showed a lot of interest in our partner's  countries and wanted to found out what are the issues they are facing regarding the environment. At the end of this activity I proposed that the next activity will be a contest between classes regarding recycling as a strategy to get involved in environment protection .

This activity is part of our new Erasmus project "Future for the Planet -  Future for US" ,   KA.2 Erasmus Strategic Partnertship  , funded by  The European Union through Erasmus Program
Location: Bacău, Romania, Scoala Gimnaziala Speciala "Maria Montessori"

(low transport = low emissions) - Choose healthy, good ingredients? (100% natural without additives) - work for less food waste? (we utilize resources that otherwise had not been used) Finally, the product was sold at a local Christmas market that the school arranged. There we had a separate Erasmus department.

This is what we found: Almost 50% said that fresh food and food expired on date tasted the same. 20 % said that food expired on date tested best. 30 % said that fresh food tested best.     Prepering for testing yogurt.    Potato chips.      Cheese.   Orangejuice.    Drinking cocoa.   Food testing.   We made a test paper.       Testing fresh food/food expired on date.                                                                             We were interviewed by a journalist and came in the local newspaper.
