If you aren’t registered in a school, you still can participate in the “7 challenges to a healthy world”. You just need to subscribe and in the environment week (5th to 11th June - Cristian Calendar) we are going to promote an online event in partnership with GreenPeace and UN Climate Change.
In the international environment day is going to be the opening of “7 challenges to a healthy world”. It will have the participation of impactful environmentalists - such as Greta Thunberg and Ailton Krenak. In order to raise awareness about the world’s situation. At the end of the speakers' talks, you are going to have a presentation about the challenges.
The first step to make a strong change is awareness -- be it about climate changes and what’s going on in the world scale. To do so, we are going to do a partnership with Climate Science Charity.
The participant will need to reuse something that probably is going to trash and transform it into something usable! After it, those who feel comfortable can record a tutorial video and put on our gallery pictures to inspire others.
Reuse. It is going to be the second step! Before recycling, it is essential to evaluate if the item is really trash, in other words, it is unable to reuse. It’s possible to reuse towels as floor wipes or soda cans as a pencil holder. Be creative and reuse 2 items.
Recycle. It’s important to give the correct destination to all kinds of waste solids. In this way, the third step is to develop two laystalls -- recyclable and to organics. You can do these laystalls in a cardbox or with another material, and write the kind in front of them. After doing it, recycle 5 items!

You can also find in our website how to economize water, food and energy in an easy way in an infographic.
Reduce. Water, food and energy are important resources to our lives, also they are related to each other. In turn, the fourth step is to analyse the expenditure of one of these features of your house from previous months, ask yourself if the account decreased, increased or remained and why this happened. At the end, gather these whys and decide the best way to manage this resource.
Take notes about how many kilometers you walk on your day by cell phone apps. After it, go to our web site and convert the meters on carbons that you prevented to go to the atmosphere.
You can do it in two manners. The first way is to plant a tree in your house, and that is it! It is your own! The second way is to get in touch with the social groups of your city, and go to plant trees together! It will be awesome, since you are going to be something good to our planet and can stimulate the community sense!
Exercise. One of the most responsibles to greenhouse effect is the burning of fossil fuels. One simple solution is to change the car by a bicycle when you need to go out -- or you can do it by foot. So, the fifth step is to go to work, to school or anyplace by bicycle or foot.
To plant. Plants feed on CO² and release oxygen during the photosynthesis process, thus helping to combat the greenhouse effect. Thereby, go to an open place in the field - this could be your backyard - and plant a fruitful tree. After it, you will need to go to our website and put on map the local that you plant, the quantity and the kind. In this way, you can see the trees in your city!
The change of your habits is only the beginning of something larger, the last step is to teach a person about climate change and encourages you to take care of the world as well (and to participate in the challenge!).
Just have a good time and network talking about what you learn!
Awareness. Changing habits is just the beginning of something bigger. The last step is to raise awareness among friends or family about climate change and encourage them to make a healthier world too!
