On the 28th April we met Naomi, a Japanese woman. She is the daughter of a Japanese mother and an American father. She told about the history of Japan and the negative aspects of Japan such as the fact that is one of the less creative country in the world, because they are very strict from the early age of education.
There aren't any people who collaborate with teachers at school and children have to clean the school.
She taught us the art of origami which has been fun.

Adenike Oladosu is an ecofeminist who cares about women's rights and the environment because, in her opinion, they are not being respected.
She considers herself an ambassador of conscience for Amnesty International Nigeria.
One of her quotes regarding climate change and the humanitarian crisis is this: "We cannot return to normal life. That life was leading us to catastrophe."

She is a German, vegan activist for the global environment. She got critics from the newspapers because she reported and highlighted the gap between politics and our behaviour. She was accused of using planes and having a high CO2 footprint and polluting the environment which is different from what she would like people to do.
She took the Greta Thunberg's Friday for Future to Germany and 10,000 people protested in front of the ministry for Energy in Berlin.

“Have the courage to act”
Dima is an ambassador of the European Climate Pact, an activist, and a videographer. He lives in Austria between trips: every month he volunteers in biodiversity protection projects and publishes videos on his YouTube channel, Be Brave to Act.
He said: “I think many people want to do something, but they don’t really know where to go or what they can do. So I show them that there are amazing people and projects all over the world.”
For Dima it is vital to share nature conservation efforts with as many people as possible, in order to change the way people view the fight for the environment.
Every day he fights for the planet.

Trash girl
"You are weird", "Trash girl" are the things that she has more often heard about herself.
Nadia has been bullied, insulted and threatened: she still remembers the shame of fruit juice thrown on her face to humiliate her. No one at school has supported her and she was terrified. Young people in the UK who campaign for the environment are targeted.
She starts cleaning in 2017 at the age of 12 before Greta Thunberg. Then in 2018 she is the main character of an animation movie which transforms her into a heroine and she begins a life 2.0.
She collects litter every day and recycling, ecology, and respect become her most important values. In her opinion the fight is to win by educating the rude people.
Cleaning is a life style: she becomes an ambassador for WWF to raise awareness for recycling and for fighting against plastics. An example is the balloons inflated for parties which deflate just over the sea and fall down. They are eaten by fish and make them die.
Ruddy Muddy, an artist, wrote "this young woman should be awarded for what she is doing in the U.K. She beats bullies too" in 2018.
Her mum told her that she had two options: either stopping to collect litter and stopping to get attention or being proud of being "the trash girl" for her own choice.

Plastic collector
By Aurora, Aida, Vittoria, Giulia, Giada, Pietro A., Pietro C., Iacopo, Mina, Fabio, Emanuele, Davide.
She collects plastic in Holland in her free afternoon. She started a challenge, that made her famous, on a video about collecting plastics in a car park. Many teenagers accepted her message.
She asked to avoid sky Chinese lanterns which are launched during parties and when they fall in the sea they pollute and provoke the death of many animals.
She has been awarded as a child ambassador for "youth modus plastic pollutes wodi earth.org".
Coronavirus came to wake up people. People see the results ow what happens when we stop pollution. We can't go back as we used to be before.
