Description
The problem identified is the environmental pollution caused by 46 livestock farms concentrated in Timis and Arad counties. They are polluting the air, land and water near 18 localities. The project aims to raise awareness among young people about the effects of their food choices on the environment, health and animals both locally and globally. In this sense, one of the main activities are cooking workshops with local, accessible and vegetable ingredients, which aim to educate direct beneficiaries about non-polluting alternatives for them and to involve them in practical workshop of measuring environmental footprint of food. A booklet will be edited in which the ideas of the beneficiaries of the workshops regarding people''s attitude towards the planet''s resources will be presented. The aim is to raise awareness of the vision of local authorities regarding their relationship with the owners of polluting animal farms. The project supports 1480 pupils from Timiș and Arad counties by involving them in activities of the project to be a part of the solution to the problems identified.
