On Friday 8 October 2021 the pupils of the school took part in the national event to wake up for the Climate. All the schools of Belgium taking part made a lot of noise. They want the government to focus on the climate. The students of the school wore green accessories and stood on the letters WAKE UP! This event took place 2 days before a big national demonstration.

Students presented the weather in Belgium during their Dutch class. Dutch is their second Foreign language. They then wrote the subtitles in English so that you can understand what they say.

Climate and weather in French Guiana

Here in Guiana, nothing to fear: no cyclones or earthquakes! Situated between 2° N and 6° N, with a long ocean front, French Guiana enjoys a warm and humid equatorial climate. The annual thermal amplitude remains low, with average temperatures around 26.5°C. However, during the day, the differences can increase, with coolness arriving in the evening. We can then see a decrease in the gradient up to 22°C in season. dry. Humidity remains high all year round, between 80 and 90%.

French Guiana

French Guiana is located 4 degrees north of the equator. It enjoys an equatorial climate. The weather is hot and humid all year round. Most of the country is covered by a dense rainforest.

Menu

Raining season

The rainy season in French Guiana extends from mid-December to mid-July.The "small rainy season" extends over January-February. The "small summer of March" extends from March to early April, between the small and large rainy seasons. The weather becomes dry again for one to two weeks and sunny. The "big rainy season" runs from mid-April to the end of June. May and June are the wettest and rainiest months.

Dry season

The most pleasant time is during the great dry season, from mid-August to mid-November, especially in September and October, the sunniest months and those with the least humidity.

The climate of Portugal

Portugal is the southwestern country of Europe with half of its borders with the sea. So, it has got a temperate climate, affected by the anticyclone of the Azores which is related to the climate change in the Atlantic Ocean. In the north, the climate is cool and rainy, while in the south it becomes gradually warmer and sunnier; the region of the Algarve has a dry and sunny microclimate. In the interior, on the border with Spain, the climate is a bit more continental. In the north-central there are also mountain ranges. In the highest, Serra da Estrela, you can ski in winter.

Menu

In summer, Portugal is protected by the Azores High, so it's usually sunny everywhere. However, a few weather fronts can still affect the northern part of the country. From November to March, rainfall can occur, especially in the north where it is more frequent and abundant. The landscape in the north is definitely green, while it gradually becomes more arid towards the south, down to the Algarve, which has a fairly dry climate. In Winter, from December to February, it is mild on the coast, even in the northern part, and the average temperature in January is around 9.5 °C (49 °F) in Porto, 11.5 °C (52.5 °F) in Lisbon, and 12 °C (53.5 °F) in Faro. Sometimes, gale force winds may blow from the ocean, especially in the north. The position of the country, overlooking the ocean, provides good shelter from cold winds and night frosts, which, in fact, are very rare and not intense, especially on the coast, where the records are a few degrees below freezing in the north and around 0 °C (32 °F) in the south.

Menu

On the other hand, in the inland areas of the Centre-north, the cold is more intense, especially in mountainous areas, where it can sometimes even snow. In Summer, from June to mid-September, it is sunny, and it's mild or even cool on the northern coast, and warm in the Centre and south. The Algarve coast is more sheltered, and therefore the temperatures are higher. The heat is more intense in the interior, especially in the south-central, in the plains and in valleys at low altitudes like Évora and Beja, where sometimes it can be really torrid heat. Spring and Autumn are cool in the north and mild in the south. The rains are quite frequent, especially in the north, where it can sometimes be a bit cold..

Menu

↻ Average Daytime Temperatures are given based on past years results in stated cities above in Turkey. ↻ Temperatures are not the lowest or highest results of the day time, as given values are average and would be lower or higher. ↻ Temperatures are given based on city levels, as higher points such as Uludag Mountain in Bursa is more colder compare to city level in the winter. ↻ Please be aware night time temperatures are more colder compare to day time average temperatures including spring, summer and autumn period in Turkey.

Turkey, the realm of the seasons has a perfect and specifical climatic types thanks to its under the influence of Aegean, Mediterranean and Black Sea surrounding it. These sea effects create four seperate climate models. Thus it is famous for not only its geopolitical position but also its having four special climates well known as Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter which reflects that all of four seasons exist in Turkey. Every season includes very special climatic type providing a dreamy atmosphere for the visitors. WINTER Winter season (December, January and February) is also rather amazing time in Turkey. Generally, the weather condition is cool,rainy, snowy and chill but sometimes it is possible to see sunny and mild days. Within this time, there are regulated many various nature and spor activities such as snowboard, skiing, skate, skid and snow motorcycling. Also some people prefer to read a book in the wooden frame houses in this duration. SPRING Spring Season including March, April, May is the very unique and fertile time. During this season, the mother nature revives; there is seen various, multicoloured flowers, plants, trees, fresh air vitalising and breathing the new life into soul of people, local life and smaller crowds because the weather is mild or temperate but sometimes rainy throughout the country. When the visitors come Turkey within that time, it is highly possible to feel themselves in a paradise due to its natural beauty enchanting them.

Menu

SUMMER Summer time consists of June, July and August. It is the warnest season in Turkey. People go to the seaside in order to swim and sunbathe in daytime while going to rich nightlife and shore restaurants to have fun in the night.There are organized many spor activities in summer such as surf, paragliding, swimming, sailing, wrestling and biking. In addition, there are other activities like festivals and picnic which is the tradition for especially Turkish family. AUTUMN Autumn season in Turkey is September, October and November.The weather is moderate, time to time rainy and the days are shorter. Just like the others, it is wonderful season to travel Turkey to experience exploring the ancient sites, unique nature with fresh air, comfortable life with fresh air. The nature reminds the people's mind there is a very fantastic atmosphere like movies of Lord of the Rings, Merlin and Hobbit.when the tourist come here, they should absolutely breath refresh air in accompanied with drinking tea.

      How does the Czech Republic support construction of energy efficient houses?

      • Subsidies
      1. The Green Savings Programme  2. The New Green Savings Programme
      • Energy efficient houses are built by the following companies
      1. BAHAL Company 2. Biosuntec 3. CzechUps 4. Staving

      Menu

      What is an Energy Efficient House?

      • An energy- efficient houses has compact shape without unnecessary protrusion with glazed areas that are facing to the south
      • An energy- efficient houses are houses with a low heating costs
      • In the house there is recuperation which brings fresh air and prevents the heat being lost during ventilation
      • In the summer it is the other way around- the air that is leaving the housed is cooling the hot air that is coming from the outside
      • The house has above- standart thermal isulation

      What is a passive house?

      • A passive house has a comfortable parameters of the indoor environment
      • It also has recuperation of air, which brings fresh air and prevents the heat being lost during ventilation
      • Only heating of the air together with recuperation (of air and thus heat as well) is used in passive houses.
      • Thanks to recuperation the house gets rid of allergens, harmfull impurities in the air and dust
      • The house has good parameters of hot air heating and it has to be absolutely airproof that is why there is a Blower Door test (test of airproof) performed.

      What is a Passive House?

      • The construction  has to be rigorously build 
      • Prefabricated buildings or wooden buildings are build most 
        Frequenty or there alco can be used     cut bricks, which are insulated in the cavities 

        Menu

        What Technology is Used to Build a Passive and an Energy Efficient House?

        • The technology that is used is similar in both cases (passive, energy- efficient houses)
        • The house must be build really rigorously
        • The outer walls (and facade) of the building must have all elements which increase its thermal insulation to the highest possible level
        • That is why thermal insulation of the highest thickness and triple glazed windows are used, areas of windows are reduced, higher dimensions of insulation in the roof cladding is uded, building is located and placed in the lot so that the highest thermal profits are gained and the shape of the building is optimized, solar collector and thermal heat pump are used
        • The houses have recuperative units which helps with providing for heating, heating of the supply water, ventilation and cooling in the house

        What Technology is Used to Build a Passive and an Energy Efficient House?

        Menu

        Parameters of an Energy efficient House

        • has a specific heat demand ≤ 50 kWh / m2.K
        • heat transfer coefficients Un, Uw and Ud for individual structures, recommended by the ČSN 73 0540 standard, are as follows:
        • the perimeter wall is Un = 0.25 W / m2.K
        • for roof construction is Un = 0.16 W / m2.K
        • for ground floor Un = 0.30 W / m2.K
        • And for hole fillings - windows and doors Uw, Ud = 1.20 W / m2.K
        • In the case of the need for so-called primary energy, in the PENB - energy performance certificate of the building, category "C" is sufficient, which can be achieved in various ways, the evaluation of primary energy is not as strict as for passive houses
        • This building has practically no legislative requirements for the airtightness of the building. Probably the most interesting information for a layman - how much will it cost me a year to heat in such a building? Approximately between CZK 20-25,000 (760-950 EUR). In the vast majority of cases, such a family house is ventilated naturally - through windows and infiltration by perimeter structures and building leaks. From the latter, the enlightened investor himself deduces that this is not a significantly economical matter.

        Parameters of a passive house

        • specific heat demand ≤ 15 kWh / m2.K
        • heat transfer coefficients Un, Uw, Ud for individual structures, recommended for passive structures by the ČSN 73 0540 standard, are as follows:
        • the circumferential wall is Un = 0.18 - 0.12 W / m2.K
        • for roof construction is Un = 0.10 - 0.15 W / m2.K
        • for ground floor Un = 0.22 - 0.15 W / m2.K
        • and for hole fillings - windows and doors Uw = 0.85 W / m2.K, Ud = 0.95 W / m2.K

        Nursing schools from the Czech Republic, Finland, Macedonia and Spain are comparing performance of nursing procedures, reg.č. projektu: 2018-1-CZ01-KA229-047990

        Parameters of a passive house

        • Another significant parameter is the requirement for airtightness, namely n50 ≤ 0.60 -1 / hour (in layman's terms, when performing a blowerdoor test, the exchange of indoor air in a building with a maximum internal volume of 60% is permissible at a vacuum / overpressure of 50 kPa)
        • Fulfillment of the airtightness requirement is important for the use and installation of so-called controlled ventilation, where the air exchange in the building is controlled, or rather controlled by a controlled ventilation unit.
        • Requirement for the maximum value of primary energy consumption 120 kWh / m2.year, subsidy program NZÚ, the 3rd call then requires stricter values
        • Uses and works with the orientation of the building on the land, emphasizes the thermal stability of the indoor environment, both in winter and in summer
        • The principle is to use natural and available things as much as possible
        • Operating costs for heating a passive house are around CZK 10,000 (380 EUR) per year.

        Sustainable construction ideas

        Sustainable construction ideas, known in developed countries as well, are gradually becoming popular also in Latvia. This has been contributed by several facts: economic (the need to save resources and energy), social and the raising of environmental problems (responsibility for climate change).

        Energy efficiency models for buildings

        Low-energy buildings Two approaches are common to the definition of a low-energy construction: the so-called 50% and 0% energy houses.Buildings with a 50% energy concept consume half of the heat energy needed for a traditionally built building. This is achieved mainly by window glazing and ventilation systems with heat return.

        Energy efficiency models for buildings

        Zero-energy homes Zero-energy homes are buildings that produce as much energy as they consume. This type of building is characterized by several energy efficiency solutions, the use of renewable energy sources, solar, wind etc. This significantly reduces the negative load on the environment.

        A ENERGIA DE UMA CASA

        CERTIFICADO ENERGÉTICO & EFECIÊNCIA ENERGÉTICA

        Menu

        O que é o certificado energético de uma casa?

        É um documento que avalia a eficiência energética de um imóvel numa escala de A (muito eficiente) a G (pouco eficiente), emitido por técnicos autorizados pela Agência para a Energia (ADENE). Contém informação sobre as características de consumo energético relativas a climatização e águas quentes sanitárias. Indica medidas de melhoria para reduzir o consumo, como a instalação de vidros duplos ou o reforço do isolamento, entre outras.

        Menu

        Pesquisar por peritos qualificados. Solicitar cotações a diferentes peritos, pois o preço pode variar consoante o técnico, o tipo de imóvel e a localização. Quando reunir a documentação necessária, avançar com o pedido de certificação . Após o levantamento efetuado na visita ao imóvel, o perito faz os cálculos que vai introduzir no Sistema Nacional de Certificação Energética e da Qualidade do Ar Interior nos Edifícios. Peça para consultar uma versão prévia antes da emissão do certificado.

        Como podemos aumentar a eficiência energética em nossa casa?

        Um edifício eficiente e sustentável é desenvolvido, dando resposta às necessidades programáticas, adaptado às características ambientais locais, energeticamente eficiente e alcançando facilmente os níveis de conforto com um baixo consumo de energia.  Para melhorar a eficiência energética de nossa casa devemos ter em atenção:

        What Is Environmentalist and Green Building?

        Environmentalist buildings, which are called green buildings, are becoming widespread. As in the world, there has been an increase in the number of these buildings in Turkey in recent years. Green buildings, consisting of sustainable building materials, with higher water and energy efficiency than other buildings; These are environmentally friendly, economical and healthy buildings where the building is evaluated and designed within the framework of its life cycle starting from the land selection process, where materials suitable for the natural conditions, energy efficient and renewable resources are chosen, and materials with low environmental impact are selected, providing water efficiency.

        Menu

        “Zero Waste” stands out for a true sustainability philosophy. Zero waste means a noticeable reduction in the garbage we produce. This enables us to revalue what we have, our resources and our ecosystem, and reduce our garbage footprint by taking a step away from the culture of overconsumption. In terms of personal care and hygiene, it is necessary to use cloths instead of paper napkins and tissues, and to make care and cleaning products such as shampoo, deodorant and detergent with natural materials at home. Achieving zero waste is possible for every home. The fastest solutions are to always carry your thermos, cloth bags and cutlery in your bag, to wash the glass jars taken into the house without throwing them away, and to use them for products such as flour and rice. When you go shopping, we see that net or cloth bags that you can use alternately instead of using the plastic bags in the markets are now widespread. You can receive paper waste materials such as invoices and credit card statements via e-mail, and for stationery products such as notebooks and pens, you can choose those made from recycled materials. It is of great importance that the existing natural resources are used efficiently and in a planned manner and that the wastes are recycled and included in production again. In order to leave a cleaner and resource-free future for future generations, a few measures to be taken on an individual basis have also become widespread around the world in recent years.

        What are green buildings?

        Today it is sustainable, ecological, green, eco-friendly, etc. Structures that are compatible with nature, which we come across under many names, are evaluated within the framework of the life cycle of the building starting from the selection of the land, designed with a holistic understanding and social & environmental responsibility understanding, suitable for climate data and the conditions specific to that place, consuming as much as it needs, oriented towards renewable energy sources, not producing natural and waste. It can be described as ecosystem sensitive structures that encourage participation in which materials are used. The experience of National Green Building Councils around the world has revealed that one of the most effective ways to promote green buildings is to give these buildings a "green label". If there is an "eco label" for the food we eat or the products we buy, doing the same for buildings is a positive step in terms of promoting and disseminating these buildings. Thanks to these labels, the greenness of a building is registered within the framework of certain standards.

        Menu

        These standards are also a guide for architects and engineers who want to design green buildings. It also provides a valid label to companies that want to share their social responsibilities with the public. Turning to green construction should also be seen as a social responsibility project for companies. Considering that buildings and settlements are responsible for 40% of CO2 emissions, the main greenhouse gas that causes global warming, we see that architects, engineers, city planners and most importantly state officials who set the regulations have great responsibilities. The effects of buildings and settlements on the environment are not limited to the CO2 gas they emit. They are also responsible for approximately 12% of water use, 65% of waste and 71% of electricity consumption. The size of these numbers means that there is also great potential for reducing the environmental impact of buildings and settlements.

        Hydroelectric power plant - is a power plant where water energy is used as an energy source. Hydroelectric power stations are usually built on rivers to build dams and reservoirs

        Menu

        Electricity generation

        In order for electricity production to be more efficient, two factors are needed: the HPP must be provided with water all year round, and the river valley should preferably be canyon-shaped, the banks should be steep and 10 meters high so that the reservoir does not flood the area.

        Use of water

        Water can be used for almost anything. For example, bathing, drinking and cooking, using water to process wood to make paper, and to make steel for cars.

        Menu

        • Water is used for human consumption, cooking, household use, trade, and food production.
        • Water is supplied centrally
        • Part of the public is still skeptical about the quality of drinking water supplied centrally to households. Instead of pouring tap water into a drinking cup, preference is given to pre-packaged drinking water. However, there is no difference between tap water and bottled water, as water suppliers are subject to the same water quality and safety requirements in both cases.
        • There are popular water supply companies in Latvia, such as Mangaļi, Venden, Zaķumuižu, Karaļavoti. Also, after you drink a bottle of water, it can be recycled if it has a recycling sign on the back and then get money for it, 10 cents per bottle.

          Menu

          The “Salines de Montjoly “are coastal marshes located in the commune of Rémire-Montjoly in French Guiana.

          These are natural sites on the island of Cayenne belonging to the “Conservatoire du littoral”.

          The name seems to come from the natural salt deposits that form after evaporation of seawater at the site.

          Menu

          • They are composed of:
          • The beach, whose width is subject to erosion and the cyclical phenomena of mud deposits discharged by the Amazon.
          • The dune cordon, bordering the beach.
          • the wetland, a large area filled with muddy material (marsh).

          Menu

          • Although it is a natural environment, the Salines de Montjoly are enclosed in a residential area 10 km from Cayenne.
          • The site has a 1.5 km path that winds between the seaside and the mangrove.
          • The Salines trail, located in the town of Remire-Montjoly in French Guiana, is one of the favorite hiking routes for families around Cayenne.

          Menu

          • Accessible to all and well laid out, it allows you to immerse yourself in the heart of a remarkable lake ecosystem made up of a dune cordon and mangroves, a few steps from the city.
          • Rémire Montjoly’s saltworks were connected to the sea in 1939 to allow a drainage of the area. This probably allowed a drainage of the area.
          • In 1957 it was the first development surrounding with a beginning of urbanization.

          Ligatne Nature Trails is a well-established network of trails in the traditional forest landscape of Gauja National Park where everyone can observe and get to know wild animals of Latvia in conditions almost completely identical to their natural habitat.

          Menu

          Trails will reveal many wildlife species typical to Latvia– stags, roe deer, wild boar, bears, foxes, racoon dogs, lynx, martens, hares, hedgehogs, squirrels, eagle-owls, and various species of owls. Ligatne nature trails will also reveal various wildlife animals and birds living in the nearby forest.

          Menu

          During the Covid 19 pandemic, the number of visitors was twice as large, which also means pollution on the trails increased. But people manage to keep it clean : People take care of the cleanliness of the trails by organizing clean-ups, creating special fire places, garbage cans. Parking spaces have been created further from the forest so that the air is not polluted with smoke and gases. Warnings are posted on the trails so that people observe silence and are not noisy, to not frighten forest animals.

          THE VENTAS WATERFALL

          • Is the widest waterfall in Europe. The Venta waterfall is a protected geological natural monument and is located in the nature reserve “Venta Valley”.
          • Venta Valley, especially in stages where the river is overgrown with surface water plant: reeds, sedges and bushes on the coast, are the most interesting for bird watching.
          • Visitors can enjoy walking along the width of the waterfall. But in spring and autumn, when spawning fish migrate upstream, you can watch from the banks as flying fish try to jump over the rapid.

          Menu

          Problems and Solutions The banks of the river are overgrown with surface water plants: reeds, sedges and bushes, which lead to a faster rise in the water level during the thaw. As well as overgrowth in the Ventas rumba affects its stream and in hot summers days, when many people go swimming in the rumba the water quality remains worse. In order to preserve the fish population, thousands of fish have been released in Venta for years. In order to preserve fish resources, fishing is prohibited in Venta. Due to the fact that Ventas rumba is a popular tourism place, pollution is formed. A large crowd of people creates garbage after themselves, it can be accidentally fallen out candy papers, a pack of ice cream thrown past the trash or the remains of cigarettes.

          Go Green Day in Trutnov On this day, the students of ZL3 (February 2022) took care of organizing the programme. The students were divided into six groups (each with 4 students). They prepared lectures as well as practical examples of how to “go greener” in everyday life. The first part was about general consumption of electricity, water, materials and other resources. The students focused on reducing the consumption. Then, they were showing very practical examples of everyday behavior that can make difference (refilling your own bottles rather than buying a new bottle of water every day, washable cosmetic pads, etc.) Finally, everyone in the school was asked to change one thing every day in their daily behavior. They were doing this for a week. Then, we did a survey among the students of what habits they think they should keep. The result was that most of them is capable to: - turn off the lights when they are not in the room - turn off the appliances when they are not using them (completely turn them off, not on the stand-by) - refill their water bottle . think about how much paper they actually need to use at school (using both sides not just one, etc.) All in all, the day was well spent and we are hoping that every single student can at least think about the consequences of their actions.

          Go Green Days in Riga Sergey Zholtok Primary School

          The Riga Sergey Zholtok Primary School dedicated a considerable portion of the 2022/23 academic year to fostering environmentally responsible practices through their remarkable Go Green campaign. Demonstrating an astute understanding of age appropriateness and the urgent need for sustainability, the school ingeniously divided its activities into distinct segments. In the realm of Arts and Design classes, students were skillfully encouraged to breathe new life into seemingly discarded items that were once perceived as mere refuse. With ingenious creativity, they transformed plastic bags into playful toys or practical ropes, while repurposing smaller carton boxes as bird feeding stations. Even old T-shirts found purpose once more as upcycled bags. Through these hands-on projects, students imbibed the ethos of resourcefulness and learned to view waste as a valuable opportunity for innovation. Certain groups of students were granted a unique chance to delve into the intricacies of the school's heating system. By delving into its inner workings and diligently mastering energy calculations during their housekeeping lessons, these young minds developed a profound understanding of energy conservation. Armed with such knowledge, they emerged as budding stewards of sustainability, equipped to make a genuine impact within their immediate environments. Taking their eco-conscious endeavors beyond the confines of their primary school, students embarked on enlightening visits to elementary school classrooms. Here, they passionately delivered insightful presentations on the topics of recycling, energy preservation, and responsible water usage. Through these peer-to-peer interactions, a sense of collective responsibility and a culture of sustainability were nurtured, ensuring the principles of environmental stewardship transcended school boundaries.

          Menu

          In a remarkable demonstration of student agency, the school's student government orchestrated a dedicated week focused on energy conservation, with a particular emphasis on electricity. During this transformative period, classroom blinds were raised to their maximum, relying solely on natural light whenever possible. Encountering initial challenges in reshaping established habits, both teachers and students quickly adapted and triumphed, embracing a collective mindset of prudence and resourcefulness. Consequently, the school community witnessed firsthand the power of collective action and the immense potential for positive change. Throughout the academic year, the school instigated numerous activities that effectively integrated sustainable practices into the fabric of everyday student life. Engrossing conversations surrounding the wastage of produce, excessive packaging, and the vital importance of recycling became commonplace among students. Encouragingly, students embraced reusable water bottles as their personal commitment to curbing single-use plastic waste. For those without their own containers, the school thoughtfully provided fresh water access in the cafeteria or canteen, ensuring hydration needs were met while fostering a culture of sustainable consumption. Moreover, each classroom now boasts state-of-the-art carbon dioxide measurement devices, which diligently monitor and report air quality levels during lessons and breaks. This invaluable tool empowers both students and teachers to proactively open windows and facilitate air exchange, ensuring a consistently fresh and invigorating learning environment. Embracing the transformative power of nature, several educators have even chosen to conduct lessons outdoors during warm spring and autumn days, harnessing the inherent benefits of an open-air setting. Undeniably, Riga Sergey Zholtok Primary School has undergone an extraordinary transformation in its commitment to eco-consciousness, with an ongoing commitment to continuous improvement. By conscientiously challenging deeply ingrained habits among both educators and students alike, the school serves as an inspiring model of positive change.

          Secularism The principle of secularism in religious matters has been at the foundation of the French education system since the laws of march 1882 and october 1886. They establish the obligation of instruction and the secularity of staff and programs. The importance of secularism in republican school values was accentuated by the law of 9 December 1905 establishing the secularism of the State. Respect for the beliefs of students and their parents involves : - lack of religious instruction in curricula - the secularity of the staff - prohibition of proselytism Religious freedom has led to the establishment of one free day per week leaving time for teaching religious outside of school

          1. The main principles of the public education system

          Freedom of education The public education service coexists with private institutions, subject to the control of the the State and eligible for its aid (in return for a contract signed with the State). The freedom to organize and provide education is a manifestation of freedom of expression: it is defined by the "Debré Law" 31 December 1959 on freedom of education and relations with private education. However, the State is the only one authorized to issue diplomas and university degrees: diplomas issued by private schools have no official value unless they are recognized by the State. Examination regulations is done nationally.

          Free of charge The principle of free public primary education was established at the end of the nineteenth century by the law of 16 June 1881. Free secondary education was extended to secondary education by the law of 31 May 1933. Education provided in schools and public institutions is free of charge. Neutrality Public education is neutral: philosophical and political neutrality is imposed on teachers and Students.

            What means the term “water footprint”?

            The amount of water that any given process or activity uses

            The amount of water used to print

            The amount of water used to wash the foot

            Clean water, clean life

            Right answer!

            The term “water footprint” is used to indicate the amount of fresh water that any given process or activity uses. Growing and processing crops and livestock consumes large quantities of water; therefore, the water footprint of food is high. Animal products, especially, like meat, dairy and eggs (all of which tend to require more water than fruits, vegetables and beans) have an even higher water footprint. Individually speaking, one’s diet makes up the largest part of one’s personal water footprint. This is why preventing food waste individually matters: because discarded food not only wastes the water that went into producing it, but all other resources involved, as well.

            It’s a plant that treats the water we drink

            Clean water, clean life

            Right answer!

            The major aim of wastewater treatment is to remove as much of the suspended solids as possible before the remaining water, called effluent, is discharged back to the environment. As solid materialdecays, it uses up oxygen, which is needed by the plants and animals living in the water. "Primary treatment" removes about 60 percent of suspended solids from wastewater. This treatment also involves aerating (stirring up) the wastewater, to put oxygen back in. Secondary treatment removes more than 90 percent of suspended solids.
