“Our country is very environmentally friendly we recycle a lot. We also use second hand shops a lot.” Kantti School, Finland

We recycle paper, tin, plastic and glass. We have to put the litter in waste baskets [to keep the playground tidy]. 102 Dimotiko Sholeio Athinon, Greece.

At school we recycle all paper. Every classroom has a recycling bag. At home, we recycle paper, plastic, glass, metal and food waste.

In class we have been looking at the UN’s Global Goals and focusing on learning about sustainable energy. The whole school are involved in learning about the environment and we have won lots of awards for the projects we have done in the past. Some pupils in the school have even got to fly to London for a special awards ceremony. In the school, we have an Eco Committee who are in charge of leading the school in some environmental projects. We gave every child in the school a sunflower seed and challenged them to grow the tallest one. We are also going to plant lots more flowers in our playground to attract bees.

We have grassy areas and parks with clean air. Just outside Aberdeen city there are lots of forests. Our air is not as clean as it is in the countryside because of all of the cars, buses, vans and lorries. Our school is in the city centre beside a busy road with traffic lights and a roundabout so lots of cars and large vehicles are stopped outside our playground. We are also near the sea and the beach so the air there is clean. Hanover Street School, UK.

Bramble Brae School, UK

In our school we do separate rubbish. We have different buckets for metal, plastic, glass, paper and organic rubbish in the school yard and in class as well.

In our school we recycle, reuse and reduce. We love doing crafts with recycled materials. We try to reuse whatever we can. Recently, the schools of our town began a recycling program.

Fortunately we live in a natural environment free of pollution. Our school is in the main town of an island in the Ionian sea, Corfu. The town’s population is not so large and the wind from the sea blows all year long.

Every school year a grade is involved in green projects at school. For example, last month the 4th grade of our school completed a project on aquifer, stocks of water and their sustainable management.

Not all schools have environmental projects, but we do! We are part of the ecoschools network. You can see more information here: https://www.ecoschools.gr/

There are laws against throwing waste and also European Union instructions about how to dispose properly of them.

Lycee Leonin de Patissia, Greece

Our school takes part in recycling programs. There are not any school clubs to help improve the environment. We have a small school garden where we grow tomatoes, peppers, eggplants etc. 5^th elementary school of Cholargos, Attica, Greece

There are some national, international and some local NGO but our school has not organized any relevant club. We recycle paper, batteries and lighting bulbs. Athens is quite polluted due to the vast number of cars. There are not so many parks and open spaces. However, the sea around Athens is quite clean and we go swimming during summer. 87 Multicultural Public Primary School of Athens, Greece

The environmental problems we have are water pollution (Tagus River). Many fish died because of factories that polluted the river. We also have a problem with a Power Plant in Spain (near the Portuguese border) which causes air pollution and is very dangerous.

We use containers to separate plastic and metal, glass and another one for paper and cardboard. Our school has different gardens and this beautiful vegetable garden. It is made by us.

Agrupamento de Escolas Nuno Álvares / EB Faria de Vasconcelos, Portugal

We have a recycling project at our school. There are “clean spaces” in every classroom and the playground where the students classify rubbish. In this way, they learn to recycle, not only at the school but also at their homes. CEIP Príncipe de Asturias, Spain

We recycle our card and paper at school using blue bins. The P6 pupils are responsible for collecting all of the recycling at the end of the week. We also have a clothes recycling point outside the school building.

The Primary 5's do the John Muir Award and they are involved in different environmentally friendly activities such as litter picking. There is an Eco Group within the school and each class has a representative. There are allotments in Banff, where people grow fruits and vegetables. Each class in the school has started to grow something for the allotment. Banff Primary School, UK.
