EARTH DAY Activities

EARTH DAY Activities

 

Earth Day is celebrated on April 22 every year. The day aims to raise awareness among masses about climate change and global warming. The day inspires to act towards the protection of the environment and focus on the need for conservation. Earth Day is recognised as the largest civic event in the world. Earth Day demands immediate action to be taken to tackle industrial pollution, oil spills, toxic waste disposal and others.

While the coronavirus (COVID-19) has been spreading around the world and dominating news headlines, thoughts and attention, the need to take climate action has remained as urgent as ever.

On behalf of the Erasmus+ project “Climate Change Education”, Pasvalys Levens school’s community engaged in Earth Day Weekly actions, an entire month of activities will be focused on the environmental issues that the world faces.

Every week will be devoted to a certain Earth-preserving and educational activity. We want to learn how all the stuff we need and use comes from the Earth. We’ll also explore some small changes we can make that have huge, positive impacts on our planet.

  • Week 1 Wise consumers against Climate change : Research on Food we eat, clothes we wear, homes we live in, energy we need.
  • Students, parents and teachers are encouraged to self-educate on the topics of research mentioned above.
  • To check their understanding and obtained or possessed knowledge of the topic, all participants are suggested to do an online Climate change Quiz https://www.earthday.org/the-climate-change-quiz/ and share the results via Facebook or on the School’s website.

    

More than 50 (53 to be exact) participants (students, parents and teachers) took part in the quiz. The results are amazing:

12 got the Climate Expert evaluation
