Description
Maintaining of some households has negative impacts on the environment (wasting of resources, usage of inappropriate matters). This project's target is public – especially households, will define the principles of a sustainable household – sustainable to health of individuals, families, nature. The „EKOAUDIT“ will be a practical tool for evaluation of the household´s sustainable rate – a complex of principles and „measurable“ standards in the ecological household. Within the public education, some experiential events will be realized – e. g. local breakfast, a Real Nappy happening, self-sufficiency workshops, excursions. The professional background will be set up (printed materials, electronic support, eco-consulting, a voice-over DVD, a signed-language DVD as well).
