Description
As people''s lives improve, consumption and the associated pollution and destruction of nature increase sharply. To start changing this situation, we need to start with ourselves - we must strive to change ourselves as a consumer, to develop responsibility towards nature. The aim of the project is to teach the local community about sustainable consumption, change thinking and form a system of values based on environmental dimensions. During the project we plan to:
• 280 participants will gain basic knowledge about sustainable food selection, preparation, consumption, benefits;
• 10 participants will learn to sew, gain knowledge on how to make scraps, sew, repair, change clothes, sew bedding or other necessary items;
• 150 participants in creative educational sessions will learn to give a "second life" to used things that are no longer needed;
• 2 “heat exchange huts” will be built where people will be able to leave their own and choose the right clothes, shoes, other household items, books and magazines for themselves;
• 15 project participants will attend English language courses;
• The concentration and citizenship of community members will increase, more people will be attracted to civil society, volunteering activities, and their activity and skills will increase.
In our project, we will try to show what we can each do on a daily basis, choosing food, making or eating at home, buying a new garment or item, to be as wasteful as possible and to be closer to a philosophy of waste without waste
