Towards a zero waste lifestyle: Aravella Salonikidou
In this section we have included this small article that, although it is not exactly a didactic unit, presents very interesting content that can be transformed into a well-structured unit in the future. The participants in the project carried out an interview with Aravella Salonikidou, responsible together with other people for the 11:11 COSMUS DIY project, in the patio of their association, where they received us with the enormous kindness that characterizes the Greek people.
Aravella( already mentioned in a larger article in the "Trips" section) is a woman who began her career as a fashion designer, always with the idea of respect for the environment in mind. In the series of 5 videos that we are presenting, you will be able to discover what her ideas are regarding this and how little by little she has evolved towards a life in which she tries to pollute the planet with the least amount of waste possible. In a pleasant and informal way, she introduces us to this concept and gives us small clues about how we can move towards this model of life.
Her advice is that this change should be done gradually, step by step, since it implies many modifications in our life habits that, undertaken all together, can lead to failure. The ideal technique consists of setting small objectives for oneself and achieving them to, then, undertake new ones and gradually expand the field.
We will put into practice some of the things we have learned and we hope that those of you who dare to watch the videos will also do so.
Together we can achieve a better world!
Glass: a material with many lives
Through this lesson plan created at the IES de Catabois, with whom we collaborate, we intend to explain the processes that are followed when creating glass products and how they can be recycled after use. We also pay attention to its impact on the environment. We hope you like it and that you learn a lot!
