The first photograh shows examples of drawings the children did on oak trees.
The drawing below shows a child's concerns about Mother Earth.
And on the right a drawing that wants to motivate everybody to change themselves but not the climate!

Some kids also did Eco Comics.
Here you can see one about the 'Ökoszellem' - the 'Eco-Ghost'.
On the first picture the trees are saying: „Köszönjük Ökoszellem” „Thanks you Eco-ghost”.
On the second is written: „Nélküled Ökoszellem, már ételmérgezést kaptam volna!” - „Eco-ghost! Without you I would get a food poisoning!”
On the third picture the snail is saying: „Nélküled Ökoszellem, semmire sem mennénk” „Without You, Eco-ghost, we would be lost!”
The scond comic is trying to tell us to never give up on forests!
