We wanted to demonstrate how humans can protect and preserve their natural resources. Educating the population can reduce the use of plastics and water waste while promoting recycling to reduce landfill waste. What is the aim of environmental education for us? The goal of environmental education is to develop students who will be aware of, and concerned about, the environmental and its associated problems, and which has the knowledge, skills, attitudes, motivations and commitment to work individually and collectively towards solutions of current problems. Showing and presenting throughout the project make these young people more responsible and more flexible to the self-changing for better and greener environment. The project "Zero Waste Waste Schools" was our intension to make students focused on real local, regional and world environmental problems. If students won't be exposed to the issue, they will continue massive consumption in their lifestyle. Failure to maintain environmental sustainability, the consequences could be severe. The Earth's natural systems and resources, upon which all life depends, would be threatened. Climate change, pollution, loss of biodiversity. We, teachers must educate students as much as possible.

1.Manual how to make a T-shirt bag. It is a really nice idea of reusing, old or unwanted T-shirts. This method helps to save the environment. According to the World Wildlife Fund, cotton production requires 2,700 liters of water for one T-shirt, which is - assuming that you drink 3 liters of water every day - the demand of one person for 2.5 years. 2.The cookery book - "Zero Waste in the kitchen" is a nice proposal for saving of money and food in our everyday life. We highly recommend to buy reasonably food products as to avoid wasting products sometimes very expensive. 3.Eco-vernal calendar - All schools have their own gardens.
