The group arrived with a big poster that stated\n\u201cMake It Green\u201d in Kannada. FSL-India welcomed them, and they all sat down in\nthe meeting hall. After a short introduction on the topic of global warming,\nsome long term volunteers, together with FSL-India\u2019s Field Officers Manjesh and\nManju showed a video that explained in a simple, but clear way what global\nwarming is. After some discussion and clarifications, the staff could ask some\nquestions to the children, who were highly participative in the discussion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secondly, the students watched a video about\nwhere all the plastic we dispose of goes, followed by another one that showed\nthe difficulties for sea turtles to nest and to reach the water near beaches\ncovered by plastic pollution. It was a very shocking and emotional video, which\nraised the awareness of the students. Another discussion took place, this time\ngiving ideas on how to reduce the use of plastic, how to reuse the ones we\nalready have, and what individual actions can each of us do for this problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After that, the last video talked about the harm caused by pesticides. It showed what is their use, what are the different impacts on the nature and on people\u2019s health, and it also explained how it can break the natural cycle, affecting all types of animal life. A final discussion took place, where all the main ideas were highlighted, such as planting trees, using cycles, or going on foot instead of using vehicles, reducing the amount of plastic we purchase, lowering the amount of energy at home, using dust bins properly to avoid beach and ocean pollution<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The FSL-India staff showed the students a video\ndemonstrating the procedure to create eco bricks with plastic, and to build\nbenches with them. The students could see one eco brick and they were very\ninterested in the whole idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
