Colombian presentation

Students and teachers from the Educative Institution Gabriel García Márquez designed the project “Give a Hand to our Planet”, so as to participate in the project Fire & Ice.


Presenters:

Catherine Mosquera MENA and Victor Hugo Ibargüen Urrutia, from 8º 1.



Our environment: we are not careful with garbage and throw it on the floor, we don’t separate it to recycle; we waste energy and water and also extinguish green areas.




Objectives:

To promote practical strategies to generate a positive impact in the institution context so as to produce a change in the community.

These are the strategies we are going to apply in the next four weeks:

Week 1: Place the garbage in its place

Week 2: Don’t waste energy

Week 3: Recycle and win

Week 4: Sow trees

Cada una de estas estrategias mostrarán semana a semana, como nuestro planeta se va aliviando.


Who participate:

8º 1 grade
Information Tecnology and Social Sciences teachers
Environmental project students and their coordinator
Headmistress

Besides the school activity, every week we take the project to the community. We will visit our neighbourhood and San Vicente de Paul section.

We have just started with the Project:
  1. We have managed resources
  2. Motivated students and teachers
  3. Spread the project

We are now in the first step as you can see in the video

I think it is good that you want to encourage people to use the trash cans, but how are you going to pick up the trash that is already there?
