Eco activity recycling
TITLE:
Recycling at school and at home
DESCRIPTION
The students and the local community are not very used to recycling practices. Moreover, the village is about 75 km from the city and it is difficult for families to find a recycling point for big appliances eg a printer or a fridge. So we tried to have the school as a green spot for recycling. We decided to start from school to promote simple, zero cost environmental practices in order to help both students and families to recycle and to develop environmental awareness.
AIM
To encourage environmental practices at school and at home
STEPS
Discussion on the situation of environment the local area at Gennadi in connection with tourism development
Ideas for campaigns and actions
A reusable bag with Eco school was given to each student of the school and to members of local council
Exchange of bags between partner schools to promote Erasmus cooperation
Recycling bins were located in the entrance, yard and classrooms of the school
Posters were made by students for promotion of recycling
Reproduction of posters to show students’ efforts for the environment
Counting the recycling result per month, presentation of progress made
Creation of a green spot at school and the school as intermediate for recycling:
- Asking students to use the bag to bring material for recycling from their home and to train their families to separate recycling material
- Batteries and electric appliances collection at school
- The school organised at a central level collection of all recycled materials for the families

Eco activity A green school yard
TITLE:
A green school

Our school has a yard and a small garden. We decided to take initiative and to make them greener and more beautiful.
We decided to plant herbs and small plants. We did everything by ourselves and we agreed to take care of them for the next years.
AIM
Create a greener school, understand the importance of plants and develop environmental awareness
STEPS
Our teachers told us about Mediterranean climate and Mediterranean vegetation
We read many books about the plants of Rodos and we discussed which plants we know and which ones we would like to have at school
We asked a gardener if these plants could grow and ways to take care of them
We brought stones from the beach to decorate the garden
After all, we saw that it was very easy to grow the plants
RESOURCES
Plants and gardening equipment

No cost. The plants were donated by Municipality but in any case the cost is from 3-5 euros per plant. We used plants that can be easily propagated

Sustainable Development Goal 12 Sustainable Consumption and Production
Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns:
One of the greatest global challenges is to integrate environmental sustainability with economic growth and welfare by decoupling environmental degradation from economic growth and doing more with less. Resource decoupling and impact decoupling are needed to promote sustainable consumption and production patterns and to make the transition towards a greener and more socially inclusive global economy.
(περισσότερα…)Sustainable Development Goal 11 Sustainable Cities and Communities
Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable:
There is a strong link between the quality of life in cities and how cities draw on and manage the natural resources available to them. To date, the trend towards urbanization has been accompanied by increased pressure on the environment and accelerated demand for basic services, infrastructure, jobs, land, and affordable housing, particularly for the nearly 1 billion urban poor who live in informal settlements.
