According to the carried surveys, only small number of them recycle, try to reduce waste of food and energy or reusing things. The parents drive their children to school and to their hobbies, even though the distances are short. Both students and their families demonstrate Indifference towards the negative impact on the environment. The Nöykkiö School student council has been worried about the wasting of food in the school. The student council has arranged the measuring of the wasted food in the school restaurant in March 2017. The result was worrying. The amount was approx. 6,5 kg/day. There is a need to make a change: make this visible to the pupils and find some ways to solve the problem.
