Description
<< Background >>We are recycling more and more, but it's not enough. The latest data from OECD shows that its members recycle, on average, barely 36% of their municipal waste. At an individual level only seven states exceeded 50% and regions such as OECD-Europe were within six points of the approved rate, with 44%. In the meantime, waste is gaining ground. The World Bank (WB) warned in 2018 that urban areas produce more than 2 billion tons of solid waste annually, a figure that could increase by 70% by 2050 if we do not take urgent action. The WB itself urges countries to improve their waste management and generate less waste through consumer education and support for recycling programmes.Raising awareness of local communities as a tool for energy saving, together within a management recreative framework approach that will help Portugal and Spain Rural Communities to understand and learn how their behaviour can impact the energy consumption and eco situation. Our need was to empower trainers, families and local communities with knowledge about climate change and sustainable energy and to promote a culture of recycling of everyday life. We thing we have reached this. << Objectives >>During the different activities of the project the main objectives was to establish some baseline data for the participants' interest like: perception, behaviour and opinion leadership and also to assess aspects of the project such as, the methodology and applicability; expected results; engagement; local development…This project was aimed at developing a local fun and sustainable early rural education program. We started the program in a small community and expanded it to neighbouring villages by engaging kids, their families, and local institutions in action-based learning. The project achieved its greatest goal of producing generation after generation of sustainably minded, environmentally conscious people. The Happy Green Children Project helped children develop behavioural patterns to adopt new eco-friendly habits.We organized workshops and seminars to raise awareness among teachers, public administrators, and families about the importance of respecting the environment. We emphasized how our actions today will determine the quality of life we have in the future. Some of the main objectives was the Eco education to alert local communities of the causes, impact and consequences of climate change.<< Implementation >>Once the project started, we measured our adult daily life recycling capability. We tried to immerse Eco-values in every daily activity we carried out, as a matter of survival. We started by measuring our adult recycling capabilities in our daily lives. We then worked to incorporate Eco-values into every aspect of our daily activities, as a matter of survival.We made teachers, public administrators and families aware about a topic of extreme relevance, delicate and fundamental for the future: respect for the environment. We built knowledge, capacities and attitudes in relation to climate change and sustainable development in a population sector, the rural people which faces numerous obstacles and which is often left out of major geopolitical decisions. We organized a crossroads parade to raise children's awareness about climate change and developed eco-education methods for children to rouse environmental consciousness. We taught children how to draw recycling containers to promote waste management practices and conducted workshops on creating toys from waste materials to encourage resourcefulness. Furthermore, we engaged children in storytelling sessions to impart environmental messages in an engaging manner.<< Results >>We developed educational programs and training sessions to empower rural communities with knowledge and skills related to climate change and sustainable development. We aimed to equip them with the knowledge and resources to address environmental challenges and improve their livelihoods. All participants reduced litter, increased recycling and reuse, and engaged in more discussions about litter and waste. We conducted an eco-situation assessment at the local level and made children more aware of environmental problems. We promoted recycling in everyday life and used flags to indicate engagement and active commitment. Helping to discover “Who am I” by building object, boys and girls learn to understand how the object is composed, but mainly they experience their commitment, constancy, determination, attention and concentration, the motivation to achieve a result that gives satisfaction and gain self-esteem, dignity and psychological health.We enhanced our eco-promotion, reputation, credibility, and engagement. As a result of our project we developed a Platform, where our participants, local organizations and also new adult trainers can follow and use in order to see how we developed our activities and how they can do similar.
