Deforestation is characterized by the removal of native vegetation from an area. It is our obligation to save the forests!
Major alert for deforestation process and inner consequences to our planet.
This model shows the Earth divided into 2 parts: a sustainable Planet and a world used as a dumpster.
We simply wouldn’t be able to survive without bees. As well as boosting our mood when we see them in our woods and gardens, they’re crucial to our physical health and the health of the wider environment.
House built by a 7th grader: This is the design of an ecological house. The student calls the public attention to the creation of a green garden to contribute to a sustainable healthy living style. Additionally, he adds a wind plant, solar cells, selective waste management containers as well as a deposit to contain rain water.
The contrast between a big city and the natural landscape. The consequences are also visible. The public is asked to make a reflection about what they see and acknowledge they are part of the problem and the solutions!
Solar cells are used to convert solar energy into electricity; a wind plant converts, with the help of a generator and turbines, wind energy into electricity. These types of devices must be disseminated due to their low environmental impact.
Representation of different types of pollution: nuclear power plant (radioactive contamination); Billboards (visual pollution); river and oceans (water pollution, plastic waste); smoke from cars and power plants (atmospheric pollution); droppings (soil contamination).
A model of a sustainable house: a green garden, solar cells for energy creation, a wind plant, selective waste management containers as well as a deposit to contain rain water.
Sustainable leaving:5-year-old children built an ideal city to make people aware of the importance of recycling and cherishing nature.
In order to lower our environmental impact more and more people need to recycle every day. This helps to reduce the need for landfill and more costly forms of disposal. Recycling also reduces the need for extracting (mining, quarrying and logging), refining and processing raw materials all of which create substantial air and water pollution.
World on Fire! If the human race does not stop harming the planet, we will be the meat on the stick for a universal barbeque!
Pollution comes in many weighs and measures. This is the dark side of consumerism! Factories producing more and more, worrying less and less about the planet!
Expectation vs Reality: a reality check that the human being needs to be made aware of the results of their actions. Caring for, guarding, preserving the environment – it is everyone’s responsibility!
A green space always meets happy children! The cycle of life seen through the eyes of kindergarten children!
The planet should be blue but all the garbage prevents us from seeing this. This model is trying to make people see the consequences of their actions!
The children in this kindergarten are showing us the water cycle, and making us aware of the importance of Water!
Built from recycled material, this student wants people to be aware of the impact each person has in the environment. Every small action is a big step for a greener planet.
Different types of houses under the use of solar panels. Solar energy can improve air quality, since they don’t produce greenhouse effect gases, and reduce the non-renewable energy used for heating water.
A small sustainable town, in which every single house, including the Hospital, Church and Supermarkets, were built in order to use solar panels. As a renewable source of power, solar energy has an important role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating climate change, which is critical to protecting humans, wildlife, and ecosystems.
