Projects of Week 4

You are never too small to make a difference

Children planted saplings and made a green wall which they named Green Paradise - wall of Oxygen.

• Plant Trees
• Make the world carbon neutral / negative
• Further expanding the use of renewable resources in different sectors;
• Encouraging the global population to use public transportation and carpool systems to reduce fuel consumption;
• Utilizing social media platforms to inform younger generations about the climate crisis;
• Advocating the 4 R’s: Refuse, Reduce, Reuse & Recycle;
• Reducing car use, switching to electric vehicles and minimising plane travel to stop climate change and air pollution;
• Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals

- (1, Poverty | 7, Affordable and clean energy | 11, sustainable communities and cities | 13, Climate Action | 14, life below water | 15, life on land)

9. Informing individuals about the importance of adopting sustainable practices and habits to contribute towards combating the issue of climate change through media and ad campaigns;

Presentation is prepared by students & Explained very Enthusiastically...

After the students interacted with other children , led their sessions and received good feedback they went on with diving deeper into their chosen case studies , they undertook research projects for their chosen biomes and tried to develop a collective global undersatnding on how the different ecosystems and Biomes are getting impacted by human action .... 

The goal of Waste Management Project is to prevent and control water, land and air pollution via proper management of waste at the household level. We encourage every household in our community to segregate biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste products.

Children came up with a solution to implemenet vegan diet as a life style choice.

Venkateshwarians of grade IX Columba connected with the students Secondary School #5 Krasnoyarsk, Russia to brainstorm, explore, create, discuss and share their findings online. In a zoom meeting organized by their science teacher, Ms. Shashi Agnihotri on October14, 2021, they explained their work and findings on the topic: “Gardening, growing food and Carbon Footprint”. With the help of a PowerPoint presentation they explained their efforts, inspirations, and findings to the grade X students of the partner school. They successfully answered all the questions asked by the Russian students.

Later, the Russian students explained their research project, “Industrial effluents and Water bodies.” On which they are working under the guidance of their teacher, Ms. Nadezhda Ivanova.

Ms. Preeti Phutela, headmistress secondary wing also joined the session and motivated students from both the countries to keep up the effort!

It was a very enriching experience for all the participants as they learnt that they may be separated by the borders but they share similar problems.

MY students provided solutions for climate change.  

SDG 13 CLIMATE ACTION- SDG LINKAGE WITH CHANGES AROUND US GRADE 6

Students prepared for asynchronous virtual exchanges with students in Vietnam and Belgium.

Students presented Climate Change Effects in Japan using audio-recorded slides and flipgrids.

Students able to share their ideas on solution for Climate Change. Due to pandemic Covid-19, a lot of people throw face mask everywhere due to that plastic pollution is increases gradually, which threatens marine & aquatic environments. Thus  students decided to make hand made hair bands and hair clips using recyle method. 

Our Team chose one Major causes which is the Plastic Pollution and try to come out with activitites and ideas on how to solve it. 

Human-induced climate change has contributed to changing patterns of extreme weather across the globe, from longer and hotter heat waves to heavier rains. From a broad perspective, all weather events are now connected to climate change.The goal is to prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with Earth's climate system.

The file is the collaborative output of the class for week 4.

تناقشت مع طالباتي عن مشكلة التصحر وكان السبب الرئيسي هو قطع الاشجار والمتجارة به 

ماذا لو كان العكس وزدنا من الاشجار وزرعناها

The biogas is to help achieve emissions reductions and mitigate many of the impacts of climate change through capturing organic wastes, producing renewable energy, and returning nutrients and organic content to the soil.

We took small steps with our students, but big steps for the future. First we prepared a presentation about what we can do. Then we prepared a video and produced simple but fast solutions. We talked about the dimensions of water and electricity consumption in our house. We made a survey about our natural energy resources and non-renewable energy resources. Everyone shared the solutions they found and researched.

Here is the link for student's and

Küresel İklim Değişikliği konusunda neler yapabiliriz? Bu hafta bu soruya cevap aradık. Okulumuzda zaten bu konuda aldığımız önlemler vardı. Bu videoyu okulumuzda neler yaptığımızı göstermek için hazırladık.

Okulumuzda yaptığımız farkındalık çalışmaları ve çözümlerin videosunu oluşturdum

With this choice, we focused on the gains and direction of climate selection. Every class in our school strives to produce results in the climate method.

We watched videos from 3 continents and countries

The students worked in three groups and all produced solutions/ideas to decrease the effects of climate. They also made their preparations for preparing a bulletin board at school.

Solution to climate change effects

In response to climate change, land is key. ... Some of the most promising ways to mitigate climate change are what we call “natural climate solutions”: the conservation, restoration, and improved management of land, in order to increase carbon storage or avoid greenhouse-gas emissions in landscapes worldwide.

• Keep fossil fuels in the ground. ...
• Invest in renewable energy. ...
• Switch to sustainable transport. ...
• Help us keep our homes cosy. ...
• Improve farming and encourage vegan diets. ...
• Restore nature to absorb more carbon. ...
• Protect forests like the Amazon. ...
• Protect the oceans.
• Turn off the lights.
• Close doors immediately so heat does not escape.
• Take short showers.
• Walk or bike if you can (instead of having your parents drive you).
• Turn off your computer when not in use

SOLUTIONS TO SAVE PAPER

Protect the oceans. Oceans also absorb large amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, which helps to keep our climate stable. But many are overfished, used for oil and gas drilling, or threatened by deep sea mining. Protecting oceans and the life in them is ultimately a way to protect ourselves from climate change.

The Whale pump

The world's largest animals are unusually good at taking carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.

Whales are not only valuable in death. The tides of excrement that these mammals produce are also surprisingly relevant to the climate

The beauty of restoring whale populations is that there is plenty of space in the ocean – space once filled with whales

My KG1 students started planting trees with their little hands to contribute to reduce climate change

we have firgured out the solutions together

SOIL EROSION is the separation or movement of the top layer of soil or the material of which the soil consists. This phenomenon is a resault of wind or running water, but especially as a result of changes caused by human activity.

Potenital solutions for climate change

Students first class are planting cherry tree and plum tree in the schoolyard with the help of their teacher and a guests (a boy from fifth class and his mother).

CAP Week 4 - Climate Change Solutions
•new ideas
•individuals actions
•organizations actions
•governments actions
•class actions

This is a short video by Grammar School Students, show possible solutions to Climate Change

week 4 - Lycée Raoul Dautry

We collected plastics from the Greek beach. We shaw the human impact!

Students watch some videos about different solutions that explain how much they can do  to save the environment also in their simple everyday lifestyle.

Through a storm of ideas, students suggested ways to protect the environment. Then we talked about what we can do and three activities were singled out, which we realized in our close environment. Each of us brought flowers from our home and planted them in the schoolyard, planted a few flowers in our classroom as well. We had an eco-action to collect garbage. We rode bicycles around our school and had fun.

During the fourth week of the project, we discussed with the students the solutions for overcoming the effects of climate change. Each student in the Padlet tool listed at least three solutions. Then we immediately took action to implement some of those solutions.

We all actively participate in finding solutions to reduce the effects of climate change. All students took action to reduce the climate crisis. They rode the bicycle, collected the waste, took care of plants, and wrote eco-messages.

During the fourth week of the project, we discussed with the students the solutions for overcoming the effects of climate change. Each student in the Padlet tool listed at least three solutions. Then we immediately took action to implement some of those solutions.

PROJECT ACTIVITIES - SS "Sveti Trifun", Aleksandrovac, Serbia and OOU "Dimitar Miladinov", Skopje, Macedonia

This week, together with the students, we offer solutions related to the climate crisis

Pupils identified the environmental issues and described the solutions for them.

This week we have  tried to write the longest list of solutions, with their help, people will try to take action and try to change the world

Team "Smile" learnt about their carbon footprint and decided to do something to make it smaller. First of all we discussed solutions and make the list of them, each member of the team made personal promises to our planet. This week students of our lyceum went hiking to see the beauty of our countryside on the one hand and see the environmental problems on the other. We all were very impressed by the presentations made by our partners from India. It was a great online communication. Here our video report about this week. 

What are potential solutions for climate change ?

Pentru a salva planeta trebuie să acționăm!

Soluții  ecologice

Global warming is the phenomenon of increasing the average recorded temperatures of the atmosphere in the immediate vicinity of the ground and oceans. The phenomenon of global warming began to worry after the 1960s, following the massive industrial development and the increase in the concentration of greenhouse gases which are largely considered responsible for this phenomenon.

The fourth week was a great challenge for us - we were looking for solutions to prevent climate change. The youngest students presented their own ideas in the form of art works. 

Our students have also conducted some experiments. First of all, they found a link between the problem of plastics and climate change:

- increasing CO2 emissions during the production of plastic,

- plastic microparticles in the oceans are toxic to phytoplankton, which takes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

For these resons they have prepared bioplastic in two different ways, first made of potato starch and glycerin, and the second with the use of milk and vinegar. 

Edible water bottles have also been prepared as an idea to reduce plastic consumption.

The last experiment gives the bottle a "second life" as it was used as a self-watering pot. This solution allows us to save the amount of water used.

All activities have been documented with photos.

Students participating in Climate Project have been spreading the word about Climate Change among their peers in various year groups (14-17 years old).

On a beautiful sunny day we planted a beautiful apple tree, we also took some time to clean up some rubbish from the school yard. 

This video was produced for the Erasmus+ project "Act small, make a difference!" in association with the Climate Change Project, the Litter Less Campaign, and the European Week for Waste Reduction.

We actively participated in a national autochthonous reforestation campaign and were invited to a webinar with political leaders

Our individual actions in favour of the protection of the environment, can help stop climate change! Come and join us!

This week students on the biggest list of solutions.

We are gathering, for the second year, more and more students to participate on the Climate Action Project. This year, and since we are beginning an eTwinning project called "Green Inclusion", we are also integrating students with special needs. Also, as we've just been approved with a small scale Erasmus+ project about the environment, why not bringing it all together?

We aim to raise awareness about the real problem of Climate Change and make the students, with small actions, make the difference.

So, we'll continue our greenhouse improvement, have workshops with a biologist about topics such as how to create a forest, aromatic plants and their uses, composing and permaculture.

By the end of the project we aim to have a nice vegetables, fruits and aromatic plants garden and have, at least, three composing containers at school and in places around our school.

In groups students did a research work and talked about the most important solutions to save the planet and stop the climate changes that are harming our planet.

Este grupo de alunos discutiu e apresentou algumas soluções quer a nível individul quer a nível coletivo.

We can collect used cooking oil

Preșcolarii au desfășurat activități ce promovează reciclarea, adunând bateriile uzate și au realizat o fermă organică, punând la încolțit boabe de fasole.

Preșcolarii au desfășurat activități ce promovează reciclarea, adunând baterii și au realizat o fermă organică, punând la încolțit boabe de fasole

Am prezentat elevilor tema de studiu: Cauze și efecte ale schimbărilor climatice în România și în lume și apoi ei au realizat un desen sugestiv pe acest subiect

Elevii au realizat că o educație eficientă în ceea ce privește evitarea poluării apelor, pământului, dar și aerului, sunt soluții urgente care trebuie aplicate, pentru evitarea dezastrelor din mediul înconjurător.

Elevii clasei a II-a C Step by Step s-au străduit să găsească soluții la îndemâna lor pentru a preveni schimbările climatice. Astfel că au identificat următoarele soluții: folosirea materialelor naturale sau reciclabile în lucrările practice de la AVAP, reducerea consumului de apă potabila - oprirea robinetelor, plantarea de copaci/ plante, economisirea energiei electrice- inchiderea deviceurilor neutilizate, a becurilor, colectarea de materiale reciclabile (peturi, maculatură).

Prescolarii de la Grupa MARE Step by step *IEPURASII*, de la Gradinita P.P. *Floarea-soarelui*, Resita, au identificat si au gasit impreuna SOLUTII pentru reducerea poluarii (pastrarea curata a mediului, plimbari, pe jos, in aer liber etc.). Un aer curat aduce beneficii sanatatii.

Preșcolarii de la grupa mică ,,Curcubeu”au urmărit un filmuleț privind potențiale soluții pentru schimbările climatice și probleme specifice de mediu.

Preșcolarii de la grupa mică ,,Curcubeu”au urmărit un filmuleț privind potențiale soluții pentru schimbările climatice și probleme specifice de mediu. Și au redat prin desene potențiale soluții pentru schimbările climatice.

1. In the fourth week we tried to find solutions on environmental problems. We made a poster with the title: ‘’Save the Earth’’.

Elevii au incercat sa descopere cateva solutii pentru a preveni/ inlatura schimbarile climatice. Dupa vizionarea mai multor materiale de pe youtube si in urma discutiilor avute, au propus: reducerea poluarii, plantarea de copaci, schimbarea sistemului energetic (folosirea energiei solare si eoliene).

     Reciclarea este una dintre metodele  de a proteja natura de poluare. 

 Reciclare înseamna colectarea separată a deșeurilor (sticla, plastic, hârtie), curățirea și prelucrarea în bunuri utilizabile similare sau diferite. Deșeurile sunt părți din materii prime sau din materialele care rămân în urma folosirii lor și care nu mai pot fi utilizate. Unele deșeuri pot fi revalorificate, exemplu: hârtia, plasticul, aluminiul, sticla,etc.

They found out what climate change is, what causes it, what effects it produces locally and globally, but the clever "Butterflies" proposed many solutions, 2 of which they experienced: water filtration and "building "a part of the wind turbine.

Searching for solutions through the project method and cleaning the beach in the 2 May locality.

Elevii propun soluții încărcând pe peretele Padlet imagini sugestive. Realizează desene și lucrări practice din materiale refolosibile.

Copiii urmaresc un filmulet cu idei simple pe care le pot aplica chiar ei pentru a opri poluarea care are ca efect negativ incalzirea globala si care ne imbolnaveste planeta si tot odata pe noi,locuitorii ei.Astfel ca prescolarii impreuna cu cadrele didactice au organizat o actiune de ecologizare a malului raului "Ampoi".

Good afternoon! For week no. 4 I gave my students a relevant task: to find solutions for a better world, for a good environment, for living safely on a good planet. As result, the students, around 18 students, presented online some solutions for a better world; they also made a game that can be considered a solution. They also prepared presentations ppt., also two students composed a song having the title: Our Planet, let's save it. I was very impressed. Unfortunately, I can't post it here, because I am not allowed.

This week, first graders found solutions to stop the greenhouse effects so that we have a better world. Various materials were viewed and a Scratch material was created.

Activitati de constientizare a importantei stoparii schimbarilor climatice.

 We tried to make a poster with what we think can be done with used water

In our school garden we planted a cherry tree as a class 

Caring for the planet is caring for animal,plants,the earts. It is important to develop empathy for students. I show this to my students,every day by my example. Think globally,act locally.

Caring for the planet is caring for animal,plants,for the earts.It is important to develop empathy for students. I show this to my students,every day,by my example. Think globally,act locally.

Fifth and sixth grade from our school together have big action - clean our Botany garden. They bring with them gloves and begs for garbage. RTV Vojvodina wa reporting us (video on 1h from beging). 

In order to help the planet, to protect it from pollution, we have created slogans that will easily reach those who want to listen. So that the word would not be just a letter on paper, we illustrated all the slogans and translated them into six foreign languages.

This week we went for walks trough the village in a look for helping hand..We talked to people about polution,deforestation..So we came to an idea to start with our own yard and then the rest..We planted some vegetables,flowers,herbs..

Children and educators from the preschool institution dealt with deforestation as a big problem of our planet.

In our school there is an activity called ECO patrol (environmental patrol, section dedicated to ecology).

One of our activities recently was clearing our forest. We joined forces and collected a lot of garbage. We know this is one of the ways we protect our planet.

In this video, a workshop was held to draw attention to recycling, which is one of the activities that can be done to prevent climate change.

grade 7 students chosen as nature ambassodors visited grade 5 students and handed out pledge sheets and asked them to sighn and inform other people around them.

Taha's solutions for the Climate Change Climate Action Project 2021

What are the greenhouse gas effects?

Causes of climate change?

Zero waste

9 & 10 years share their news on our adopted school Orangutan as part of our work on the effects of deforestation.

1. Students got qr codes to read different articles on local climate change issues

2. Played kahoot to check their understanding of the climate change problems

3. Played a role play "Beache valley and oil refinary" experiencing the roles of:

- fisherman

- local women with children

- oil refinary  workers

- envirnmentalists

- souvenier shops owners

- tourists

This week the students traced their footprints using  the EarthProjectApp and took part in the Challenge, brainstormed their ideas as for the solutions of the climate change issues. 

We love our city and take care of it.

What do we do to change our city in the direction of eco? We want to suggest not to

throw out the trash on the streets and recycle paper. We can use the secondary

materials. We can plant more trees, don’t burn and bury the trash because doing this

the harmful substances get into the air, and when we bury it leaves there for

hundreds and even thousands years

We discussed ways of solutions, made a list and created a short presentation with our solutions.

This week we understood what must we do to make our invironment better for life.

It is not a secret that global climate change has become one of the most pressing environmental problems. Climate change causes different weather disasters, floods, strong winds, hurricanes, tsunami  droughts and many others. But the mankind can prevent it by eating vegan diet that will save animals, riding a bike instead of using a car, planting trees, developing green, renewable sources of energy, developing programs to limit food waste etc. Together we can save our planet!

Aprovechar los residuos que producimos en nuestros hogares, es una forma de ayudar a nuestro medio ambiente, pues al usarlos para elaborar composta para usarla en nuestro huerto escolar, evitaremos el uso de fertilizantes industriales y obtendremos hortalizas orgánicas y saludables y al mismo tiempo estamos ayudando a qué el suelo se restablezca de tanto daño que le causan los pesticidas, fertizantes químicos y basura.

Distintas materias realizan producciones que favorecen a la lucha contra el cambio climático. 

The students prepared different posters, flyers and presentations mentioning some possible solutions for climate change.Preparing some videos to share with students from India they translated a song that speaks about climate change.

In groups the students had a brainstorm about how they could stop tha climate change or, how they could let the people be aware of the actions they could make to collaborate to earth and reduce climate changes effects.

Semana 4: Busca de soluções.

Levar os alunos a buscar. Seguem algumas soluções de subsídio para o Professor.

Para o Professor:

Apesar de existirem muitos impactos negativos, o facto de querermos agir dá-nos esperança. Nós temos tudo o que é necessário para combater este problema, nós temos soluções para o aquecimento global e sabemos como usá-las. Nós só precisamos de agir.

• Reduzir os Combustíveis Fósseis

Este é um primeiro passo importante. o uso de combustíveis fósseis é responsável por 70 a 75% das emissões antropogênicas dos gases responsáveis pelo efeito estufa em todo o mundo. Na União Europeia, este número chega aos 80%. Substituir os combustíveis fósseis por alternativas de baixo teor de carbono é a forma mais rápida de traçarmos um caminho para um sucesso climático.

• Energia Renovável

Nós precisamos de mudar para uma fonte de energia de baixo teor de carbono que seja renovável e tenha pouco impacto no nosso planeta.

A melhor alternativa para os combustíveis fósseis que nós temos é a eletricidade gerada por energia solar ou eólica. É a energia gerada pelo calor do sol ou a força do vento. Nós literalmente aproveitamos estas forças e utilizamos para termos energia nas nossas casas. Isto provoca alguns desafios porque é um setor energético novo, precisamos de de melhorar a eficiência da eletricidade e temos que ter uma certa quantidade de armazenamento, porque o sol e o vento nem sempre estão presentes.

Alguns países podem utilizar energia geotérmica. Isto implica o uso do calor das partes mais profundas da terra. O exemplo mais notório é a Islândia. Podemos encontrar águas subterrâneas a 300º C a alguns metros de profundidade. É a energia ideal para aquecer casas e gerar eletricidade.

• Transportes Elétricos

Nós precisamos de mudar a forma como viajamos, e não se trata apenas de alterar o combustível que um comboio usa. Nós também precisamos de usar esses comboios com mais frequência e outras alternativas aos carros. A procura por transportes está constantemente a aumentar, tanto para pessoas como para mercadorias. E, porque muitos dos atuais meios de transporte usam motores de combustão, as emissões de gases do efeito estufa têm um grande impacto no meio com que nos deslocamos.

Os veículos elétricos são muito mais eficientes the os convencionais motores a combustível. Para além da ausência de emissão de gases de efeito estufa, são também muito melhores para a nossa saúde. Eles emitem menos poeiras finas e óxido de azoto (NOx). De um ponto de vista social, conduzir um carro elétrico é uma grande oportunidade e uma obrigação para qualquer governo. Por enquanto, o principal desafio continua a ser o preço e o contínuo desenvolvimento das baterias. Felizmente, vamos na direção certa em termos de custo e baterias.

Uma vez que a mudança para alternativas de baixo carbono no setor da aviação ainda está em desenvolvimento, o ideal será manter as viagens de avião no mínimo possível.

• Melhorar a Construção e Infraestruturas

Aquecer e arrefecer um edifício, bem como a utilização de água quente, requerem muita energia. Precisamos de melhorar a sua eficiência energética para manter o calor. Podemos fazê-lo isolando o telhado e o chão dos sótãos, instalando vidros de grande eficiência energética, isolando paredes e chão e, finalmente, melhorando as condições herméticas do edifício para evitar perdas de calor através de fendas e rachas. Um edifício deve estar preparado para o futuro se também tiver chão e paredes aquecidas ou radiadores de baixa temperatura.

• A Indústria em Mudança

Com a revolução industrial, as nossas ações passaram a ter, verdadeiramente, impacto no planeta em larga escala. Por isso, precisamos de repensar e reparar este processo industrial para que possa ser mais sustentável. Dependendo do setor da indústria, é possível reduzir as emissões através:

• do aumento da eficiência energética dos processos de produção.
• da mudança para eletricidade (sustentável) para processos de aquecimento, processos químicos de hidrogénio e na produção de aço.
• da aplicação de recuperação residual de calor, por exemplo, no setor da construção
• captura de emissões de CO2 para armazenamento ou para fazer novos materiais
• uso mais eficiente de materiais e economia circular

• Agricultura

A produção de comida é um dos maiores contribuidores para as alterações climáticas e é, também, uma das maiores causas da perda de biodiversidade.

Enquanto consumidores, nós temos um papel aqui. O que fazemos influencia o governo e as lojas que vendem comida. Nós precisamos de repensar o nosso consumo de carne e laticínios. Se compararmos o impacto dos diferentes produtos de carne e laticínios, a carne bovina é, não apenas a maior pegada dentro do setor da alimentação, mas também o maior contribuidor em termos de consumo de água e solo (desflorestamento). Ao consumirmos menos carne e laticínios, estamos a beneficiar a nossa saúde, também. 

A WWF criou os princípios para vivermos bem,  para nos mostrar como fazê-lo e ainda gozar de comida deliciosa e variada.

• Reinventar a nossa economia para uma economia circular

Numa economia circular organizada, o impacto do CO2 de um produto ou serviço durante o seu ciclo de vida será, normalmente, menor que o de um sistema linear. Durante a fase de design de produto, deve tomar-se em consideração o seu desmantelamento final no final do seu ciclo de vida. Os materiais são utilizados de forma a serem facilmente separados e reutilizados, e os consumidores recebem produtos residuais.

• Remover o CO2 da atmosfera

Quase todos os cenários que nos dão a possibilidade de ficarmos abaixo do perigoso limite de dois graus em 2100, trabalham no sentido das chamadas emissões negativas. Isto significa retirar o CO2 da atmosfera.

Utilizar soluções baseadas na natureza é a forma mais fácil de o fazer. A solução mais barata e simples é, também, a mais eficaz - plantar árvores. As árvores captam o carbono da atmosfera e armazenam-no no solo. Estima-se que se plantássemos 1 trilião de árvores por todo o planeta, seria o suficiente para baixar o nível de carbono suficiente da atmosfera para resolver esse problema. Parecem ser muitas árvores, mas se pensarmos no tamanho do nosso planeta, não será muito difícil de o concretizar.

Existem outros tipos de tecnologia para captar carbono, conhecidas como geoengenharia.  A Captura e Armazenamento de Carbono, conhecida como CAC, refere-se à tecnologia que tenta travar a emissão de grandes quantidades de dióxido de carbono para a atmosfera  e depois transportar esse carbono através de uma rede de condutas e armazenar debaixo do solo. Ainda não está provado que funcione em larga escala. Muitas outras ideias para retirar CO2 do ar têm, igualmente, defeitos. Alguns requerem grandes quantidades de energia, outras não são (ainda) economicamente viáveis, e outras ainda requerem alguma pesquisa para descobrir o seu potencial e determinar as suas vantagens e desvantagens.
