The teachers and the children, through a series of educational methods, such as painting, crafts, theater, singing, storytelling, music and movement activities, puns and on foot excursions learned about the negative impact of car emissions on the environment and climate.

The teachers showed children alternative ways of transport in developing countries, the threats that animals and human beings are being exposed to because of the climate change, and how our immediate action can help the earth.

The children wrote onto cards what efforts they want to make for the climate and hung them up in the entrance hall of the school as a daily reminder:
1. I throw the litter in the bin!
2. I recycle
3. We all together take care of our future
4. I take care of the planet for the next generations.

Children provided their wishes and messages for a better environment under the slogan "Good life is simple”. They asked for more flowers, less waste, less gas emissions and cleaner cities and seas. They also understood that walking to school offers them energy, time to meet friends and less traffic during rush hour.

“Good life is simple! For all countries, for all Earth, listen to the kids, because only they can tell you.
Good life is simple, on planet Earth, love life, on planet Earth, save life, I recommend, you sing it too”
