The Project topic arose from the need
of raising awarness about sustainable
consumption for the future of the next
generations. Our Project was designed
starting from threats and from the
wrong habits that individuals have. We
also take into consideration the needs
of partner schools regarded to the
environment education. We aim to
improve students analytical thinking,
criticism, autonomy, development of
knowledge about the world. Teachers also take innovative actions in the
teaching process, creating tools and methods. This Project encourage our
teachers and students to broaden their horizon by looking beyond national
borders. So , this Project take five nation sand five different schools together.

Project summary
The project has three stages:
1. First stage - The threats of unsustainable consumption – duration: 3 months
2. The second stage students are given a scenario – students are part of international crew of Illuminator, an imaginary
spaceship that landed on the habitable planet called FuturEU. They want to start a new civilization era and are expected to
deal with the problems/threats of sustainable development – such as Healthy Living / Food / Sports; Economy; Environment /
Climate change/ Environmental protection; Innovation. - – duration: 9 months
3. The third stage – dissemination of the outcomes – duration: 3 months
Through this strategic partnership we intend to:
• increase knowledge of 2500 students during 2 years project about sustainable consumption stimulating students’
observation skills, comparison and classification techniques;
• encourage creativity skills by actively involve a number of 65 students that will create the project’s book to promote how
to be environmentally friendly;
• to improve quality of school curricula encouraging a sustainable consumption behavior through educational activities in 5
different European schools;
• creation of educational base - lesson plans, posters, book.
• enhancing the potential of teachers in increasing language competence and intercultural competence
• learning the skills of reading comprehension
The students involved are aged between 12 – 17 years old, coming from five lower secondary schools. Four of the partners
(France,Italy,Poland and Portugal) have experience in international school project, while one of the partners (Turkey) has no
experience in international projects.
The project’s activity is divided
into subtopics as follows:
PL- “Unsustainable consumption
& Threats “
IT – “FUTUREU & Healthy Living &
Food & Sports"
FR- "Employment & Economy"
PT- “ Environment& Climate
change& Environmental
protection"
TR – “Education & Innovation"
5
The core project’s activities aim to improve students’ key competences (ICT skills, communication skills, team working,
inter-cultural dialogue, social acceptance and tolerance) and to widen students’ creativity and innovation spirit.
Different methods are used in order to achieve the aims of the project. The partners collect data, monitor, do scientific
researches, presentations, develop innovative practices, design new educational tools, etc. A direct interaction with
European schools and policies offer the possibility to explore new methods of teaching in line with the European standards.
The project’s results (Book, magazines, presentations, questionnaires, logo, posters, leaflets) are available on the common
website and data base. Direct links to the products are posted on schools’ websites, e Twining page and Facebook group
page.
Students and teachers disseminate the project activities at a local, regional, national and international level, encouraging
the use of the outcomes that were produced through this project.
Our partnership have a powerful impact on 2000 students and teachers from the partner schools regarding having a
sustainable consumption attitude. We strongly believe that bringing together people with different backgrounds increase
the feeling of belonging to a united European community and that the spirit of an international cooperations are based on
motivation, commitment, work and professionalism.

The changes planned for their school are still vague. As it has already been stated, the lower
secondary education in Poland is about to be suppressed and the secondary educations is to be
extended – all within next years. Nevertheless, their local authorities have not defined their policy yet,
which makes the situation even more difficult and stressful.
All the teachers are gathered in several cooperating working groups. They meet repeatedly, discussing
current issues, unexpected problems or plans for their daily teaching life. Different teachers work in

PORTUGAL - São Brás de Alportel
We had two previous international
partnership projects - Comenius and
Erasmus + and the activities carried
out by our organisation played a very
significant role not only in the
achievement of the project as a
whole, but also in particular for the
involved pupils and teachers, even
more so as the pupils were in a
professionalizing program with
additional learning difficulties and
with educational problems.
All the activities planned for both
projects were implemented throughout
the two year project and any changes
were made. On the contrary, additional
works were made namely small
researches.. We can consider that all
the activities achieved high level
standards of quality.

Our school is located in the district center of Afyonkarahisar in Emirdag. Our
school has a 630m2 building area with a 630m2 building area of 6963 m2 and
has a capacity of 12 classrooms, 1 science laboratory, 1 library, 1 conference
hall, 1 computer laboratory, 4 administrators, 22 teachers, 1 officer and
1 servant with 365 students.
There are 114 capacity male student pension with 3 storeys. We made the
COMENIUS project in 2013. International sports, social and cultural activities
are not successful. In many countries of the world, schools support their
academic programs through projects that promote international competence
and perspective. Thanks to the cooperation between these schools, many
international projects have been spent. The projects we are talking about are
an integral part of our multilingual, multicultural education approach. Cultural,
artistic and political projects, students experience the functioning of
international structures that they will take place in the future or perhaps even to
direct.
The main aim of the education system is to prepare the student for life. The system reaches
this goal by equipping the student with the necessary knowledge, helping them discover and
develop their abilities. Social activities and club activities during the education life enable the
student to transform his knowledge into experience. At our school, students participate in a
club each year, and at least once, until the time of graduation, the "social service club" takes
place.
Through social activities, students learn to value the values of community service, solidarity
and sharing, to learn about organizational techniques and democratic life. Students are also
prepared to live at the same time as developing their self-confidence, teamwork, analytical
thinking and leadership skills by undertaking various social roles in the activity process.

Throughout the Project mobilities there was a scenario. Students looked into the future
where there was no Earth, because it had been destroyed by human activities. Those
who survived, travelled in the Universe in search of a new planet that could be settled. They
found and gave it the name FuturEU. Then, they had to create on it all the systems needed
for a man to live, but this time they must use them wisely.

ECOUTE #6
Black Friday.
Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving. It’s called “Black Friday” because when sales are
in positive, as when the stores make money, it’s considered “black”. So, on Black Friday,
everything, all the products that is, are very cheap and everyone goes to the stores very, very,
very early in the morning. When I was younger, the stores opened at 5 a.m. and people could
be getting shopping that early. Now, however, there are some stores that open at midnight. I
personally don’t go to the stores at midnight. However, my friends camp out in the parking lot
before the store opens. Then, when they see more people arrive, they get in line. Many, many
people do not like to get in line, so people try to elbow their way in, cut you off or sneak in. I
intend to go in the morning, to beat traffic but I do not go at three in the morning. That’s too
extreme for me. However, like every other shopper on Black Friday, I try to buy all of my
Christmas gifts for my entire family and friends and I spend all the money I possibly can
because the prices will not be any cheaper for the rest of the year.
*to camp out : camper *a parking lot = a parking : un parking *to elbown one’s way in :faire du

BARTERING
Consumers share in savings
Haley Shapley
April 20, 2011 in Personal Finance
Knocking on your neighbor’s door to borrow a cup of sugar and sticking around to chat is a
ritual as comforting as an old sweater.
Websites that connect people who are interested in borrowing, bartering or buying used
instead of new are gaining in popularity. Trendspotters have even given the phenomenon a
name: collaborative consumption. And they say it’s hitting home with consumers because it
saves money while connecting them with like-minded folks.
“Collaborative consumption is emerging so fast and across sectors because of a perfect storm
of four key socioeconomic drivers,” says Rachel Botsman, co-author of “What’s Mine Is Yours:
The Rise of Collaborative Consumption.” She says these factors are environmental
awareness, a renewed sense of community, a recession that fundamentally shook consumers
and a torrent of social media that facilitates collaborating.
Sites for sharing
Sure, you’ve heard of Craigslist and eBay. But new entrants are taking collaborative
consumption into new territories, providing fresh opportunities for consumers to be frugal.
Take for example Airbnb: Whether you have space to spare or want to stay in a place with
flair, Airbnb matches hosts and guests with a wide range of accommodations around the
world. For hosts, it’s free to list your space; you get paid 24 hours after the guest checks in.
For traverlers, a recent survey of the site showed a wide selection of options below $100 in
major American and European cities.
Making a connection
For April O’Connell-Cole, a mom of two from Truckee, Calif., collaborative consumption has
paid off big time. “My daughter’s only 5 months old and she’s already been through three sizes
— she’s wearing an outfit only once or twice,” she says. For that reason, she joined thredUP,
a collaborative consumption site where moms swap childen's clothing and toys.
But especially meaningful are the bonds she has formed with other thredUp users. “It’s a really
good community of like-minded parents,” O’Connell-Cole says. “That’s probably my favorite
part about it. People are willing to scour their houses (to help you).”
It’s no wonder that collaborative consumption recently made a list of “10 ideas that will change
the world” in Time magazine. “There’s so much opportunity in this market,” says Lauren
Anderson, an Australia-based collaborative consumption consultant. “There’s stuff around us
all the time that we’re not using to its full potential.”

Trade
Fair trade
Bananas growing in Vietnam
The result of the pattern of world trade is that the workers in primary industries in LEDCs often
lose out. They receive low wages and often have poor standards of living. They cannot afford
education for their children and many children are required to work to help their families earn a
living.
Fair trade means that the producer receives a guaranteed and fair price for their product
regardless of the price on the world market. This means their quality of life should improve, as
well as the long-term prospects for their children.
Fair trade products sometimes cost more in supermarkets in MEDCs, but many consumers
consider this a small price to pay for the benefits they bring.
Fair trade sets minimum standards for the pay and conditions of workers. The Fair Trade
Organisation promotes Global Citizenship by guaranteeing a fair, minimum price for products. In
this way, they support producers in improving their living conditions. About 5 million people
benefit from Fair Trade in 58 countries.
Fair trade products are becoming more widespread and include tea, coffee, sugar, chocolate and
cotton.

Lesson Plans On Sustainability From French Partner
From chocolate and coffee to cut flowers, people in the UK now buy more Fairtrade-certified
goods than ever. But what's it all about and who benefits?
Farmers, plantation workers and other producers in developing countries typically receive only a tiny
fraction of the money generated by their crops or products. They also frequently face problems such as
unstable prices and a lack of access to finance.
The aim of the fair trade movement is to help disadvantaged producers overcome these and other
problems by offering ‘fair' terms of trade.
Any product traded with ethical principals in mind might be described as 'fair trade' or 'fairly traded'.
However, only products that have been audited according to a strict set of specific criteria can carry
the official Fairtrade mark.
The exact criteria vary between product categories, though all Fairtrade-certified traders must:
Pay a price that covers the cost of living
Pay a premium that producers can invest in development
Make partial advance payments, when requested by producers
Sign contracts that allow for long-term planning and sustainable production practices
The Fairtrade mark is not the brand of a particular company - it's an independent labelling scheme
administered in the UK by the Fairtrade Foundation.
The idea of trading with the aim of supporting poor producers has been around for decades. But
fair-trade labelling didn't take off until 1988, when Dutch NGOs and politicians worked together to
promote fairly traded coffee from a cooperative in Mexico.
This groundbreaking scheme was in response to the collapse of the world coffee prices, which
threatened the livelihoods of millions of poor farmers. Over the following years, the approach
spearheaded in Holland spread to other countries and the system was extended to cover new
products such as bananas, chocolate and tea.
What is fair trade food?
Background
45
Lesson Plans On Sustainability From French Partner
Today, Fairtrade-certified products account for a small but significant portion of Europe's
food imports. The system benefits an estimated 800,000 farmers and workers (plus
millions of family members) in Africa, Asia and Latin America. In the UK, more than half of
consumers recognise the Fairtrade mark and the market is presently valued at £300
million.
Coffee, chocolate, bananas and tea are still among the most popular fairly traded products.
But now the Fairtrade mark can also be found on various fruit and vegetables, as well as
wine, honey, cotton clothes and footballs.
Aside from these officially certified products, there are also many ethically traded
handicrafts and other items available via websites, fair trade shops or charity catalogues.
As the fair trade movement has grown, various questions have been raised about which
products and traders should qualify for certification.
British Fairtrade. In 2003, a consultation was held about the possibility of organic
farmers in the UK qualifying for Fairtrade certification. In the end, the idea was rejected,
because consumers felt the scheme should focus specifically on poor farmers in developing
countries.
Local versus fair trade. Most Fairtrade certified products are tropical crops that can't be
easily grown in Europe. But since 2003 it's been possible to buy some Fairtrade produce,
such as apples from South Africa, which could have been grown locally. Some
environmental campaigners concerned about ‘food miles' feel that this introduces an
unnecessary clash between ethical trade and climate protection.
The Nestlé debate. In 2005, Nestlé started selling Fairtrade certified coffee under its
Partners Blend brand. This was seen as controversial because of the criticism Nestlé has
received over the years over various ethical issues. But the Fairtrade Foundation
considered Nestlé's decision a huge success, demonstrating that fair trade principles were
starting to affect major corporations.
Such debates aside, there's no doubting the huge success of the fair trade movement over
the past two decades. And, with the sales of Fairtrade-certified products continuing to rise
steeply, the next ten years look set to see even greater success.

Lesson Plans On Sustainability From French Partner
LONDON, England (CNN) -- Ever felt guilty about the food or the old television you chucked out? Perhaps you
are a freegan at heart. Ever seen a group of healthy-looking young people going through the garbage and
wondered what they are up to? Perhaps you have had a rare sighting of a freegan.
What is a freegan? A freegan is a social activist who, repulsed by the waste produced by modern society, has
taken to eating food and collecting goods that have been thrown away. Freegans are driven by an anti-capitalist
dogma, mixed with environmental, anti-globalization and some vegan ideals.
As the movement's manifesto declares: "Freeganism is a total boycott of an economic system where the profit
motive has eclipsed ethical considerations and where massively complex systems of productions ensure that all
the products we buy will have detrimental impacts most of which we may never even consider. Thus, instead of
avoiding the purchase of products from one bad company only to support another, we avoid buying anything to
the greatest degree we are able."
Where does a freegan eat? A freegan usually finds food that has passed its use-by-date from large rubbish bins
outside supermarkets, fast food outlets, bakeries and farmers' markets. Other freegans forage in woods or in
parks for edible plants or fungi.
What else do they believe? They are basically iHippies, endorsing working less, recycling, hitchhiking, cycling
and squatting.
Where did the word freegan come from? "Freegan" comes from the blending of the words "free" and "vegan".
It has also been suggested it comes from "free" and "gain".
"The freegan goes further than the vegan," declares the manifesto, "noticing the plastic the tofu hot dogs are
wrapped in, and thinking of fish and birds asphyxiating in slicks of oil in seas turned black with spilled crude."
How much food is wasted each year? According to the anthropologist Tim Jones, from the University of
Arizona, as much as $90 to $100 billion worth of food in the U.S. is wasted each year. Meanwhile, in the UK, the
Environment Agency estimates the food and drinks industry generates 10 million tonnes of waste each year, a
third of which has the potential for consumption.
Are freegans taking food from the homeless? Some food retailers and wholesalers, frustrated by stringent
policies that mean they must throw out food when it is past its use-by-date, donate food to homeless charities. In
the UK, the charity Fareshare collects donated food from over 100 retailers and regular wholesalers, and
distributes it to the homeless. Furthermore, freegans claim they only take what they need.

Insider's guide to freeganism
POSTED: 1117 GMT (1917 HKT), December 6, 2006

Lesson Plans On Sustainability From French Partner
What is a Freegan?
Freegans are people who employ alternative strategies for living based on limited participation
in the conventional economy and minimal consumption of resources. Freegans embrace
community, generosity, social concern, freedom, cooperation, and sharing in opposition to a
society based on materialism, moral apathy, competition, conformity, and greed.
Freeganism is a total boycott of an economic system where the profit motive has eclipsed
ethical considerations and where massively complex systems of productions ensure that all
the products we buy will have detrimental impacts most of which we may never even consider.
Thus, instead of avoiding the purchase of products from one bad company only to support
another, we avoid buying anything to the greatest degree we are able.
The word freegan is compounded from “free” and “vegan”. Vegans are people who avoid
products from animal sources or products tested on animals in an effort to avoid harming
animals. Freegans take this a step further by recognizing that in a complex, industrial,
mass-production economy driven by profit, abuses of humans, animals, and the earth abound
at all levels of production (from acquisition to raw materials to production to transportation)
and in just about every product we buy.
Freegans employ a range of strategies for practical living based on our principles:
Waste reclamation
We live in an economic system where consumers are constantly being bombarded with
advertising telling them to discard and replace the goods they already have because this
increases sales. This practice of affluent societies produces an amount of waste so enormous
that many people can be fed and supported simply on its trash.
Perhaps the most notorious freegan strategy is what is commonly called “urban foraging” or
“dumpster diving”. This technique involves rummaging through the garbage of retailers,
residences, offices, and other facilities for useful goods. Despite our society’s sterotypes
about garbage, the goods recovered by freegans are safe, useable, clean, and in perfect or
near-perfect condition, a symptom of a throwaway culture that encourages us to constantly
replace our older goods with newer ones, and where retailers plan high-volume product
disposal as part of their economic model. Groups like Food Not Bombs recover foods that
would otherwise go to waste and use them to prepare meals to share in public places with
anyone who wishes to partake.
Waste minimization
Freegans scrupulously recycle, compost organic matter into topsoil, and repair rather than
replace items whenever possible. Anything unusable by us, we redistribute to our friends, at
freemarkets, or using internet services like freecycle and craigslist.
Eco-friendly transportation
Freegans recognize the disastrous social and ecological impacts of the automobile. We all
know that automobiles cause pollution created from the burning of petroleum but we usually
don’t think of the other destruction factors like forests being eliminated from road building in
wilderness areas and collision deaths of humans and wildlife. Therefore, freegans choose not
to use cars for the most part. Rather, we use other methods of transportation including
trainhopping, hitchhiking, walking, skating, and biking.
48
Lesson Plans On Sustainability From French Partner
Rent-free housing
Freegans believe that housing is a RIGHT, not a privilege. Just as freegans consider it an
atrocity for people to starve while food is thrown away, we are also outraged that people
literally freeze to death on the streets while landlords, banks and cities keep buildings boarded
up and vacant.
Squatters are people who occupy and rehabilitate abandoned, decrepit buildings. Squatters
believe that real human needs are more important than abstract notions of private property. In
addition to living areas, squatters often convert abandoned buildings into community centers
with programs including art activities for children, environmental education, meetings of
community organizations, and more.
Going green
We live in a society where the foods that we eat are often grown a world away,
overprocessed, and then transported long distances to be stored for too long, all at a high
ecological cost. Because of this process, we’ve lost appreciation for the changes in season
and the cycles of life but some of us are reconnecting to the Earth through gardening and wild
foraging.
Wild foragers demonstrate that we can feed ourselves without supermarkets and treat our
illnesses without pharmacies by familiarizing ourselves with the edible and medicinal plants
growing all around us. Even city parks can yield useful foods and medicines, giving us a
renewed appreciation of the reality that our sustenance comes ultimately not from corporate
food producers, but from the Earth itself.
Working less
How much of our lives do we sacrifice to pay bills and buy more stuff? For most of us, work
means sacrificing our freedom to take orders from someone else, stress, boredom, monotony,
and in many cases risks to our physical and psychological well-being.
By accounting for the basic necessities of food, clothing, housing, furniture, and transportation
without spending a dime, freegans are able to greatly reduce or altogether eliminate the need
to constantly be employed. We can instead devote our time to caring for our families,
volunteering in our communities, and joining activist groups to fight the practices of the
corporations who would otherwise be bossing us around at work.

Educational progression toward sustainable cooking
Contribution to the Erasmus project
André PAILLOT high school – European Section 2018-2019
Course 1- General talk with students about sustainability
Sharing facts, concerns, knowledge and representations, actual or possible actions…
As a result, two main topics were identified as key questions for the students:
- Sustainable fashion,
- Sustainable cooking.
Course 2- Starting from Sustainable fashion
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmnWIOgc39k
The afore mentioned on-line video is viewed once completely and then commented by the
teacher in order to clear potential issues of understanding and help the students raise the key
questions. The students are then asked to work on this topic and search all technical or
missing vocabulary required to express easily their meaning next time.
Course 3- Sustainable fashion is discussed with the students
The video is viewed again, but this time step by step to highlight major ideas, difficult or
specific words and let the opportunity to each student to share his contribution.
Course 4- From Sustainable fashion to hidden costs
The matter of hidden costs was raised by the talk about sustainable fashion.
Same as before: the video indicated below is first viewed as a whole with general comments
buy the teacher. The students are asked to get ready for a thorough talk next time.
http://17goals.org/a-5-minute-video-on-sustainable-consumption/
Course 5- The notion of hidden costs is discussed with the students
The video is viewed again, step by step, in order to show the many aspects and often
unsuspected consequences of hidden costs.
Course 6- Back to sustainable cooking
Along with fashion, eating and cooking were revealed as crucial topics for teenagers.
This matter of sustainable cooking was addressed by a free talk in class, with the objective of
sharing knowledge and ideas from all the students, including the notions raised by the
previous two videos about sustainability, as well as each personal feeling regarding food:
greedy or not, good cook or
50
Lesson Plans On Sustainability From French Partner
The objective is to identify how cooking (and eating), though even more necessary than
clothing, can be more or less sustainable. Major challenges are identified, alternative solutions
are considered. Again, students soon notice that they often lack vocabulary to express simply
but accurately their meaning. So they are asked to lead a personal search to fill this gap until
the next course.
Course 7- Final talk about sustainable cooking.
The students are asked to present their ideas more completely and more accurately, using the
relevant vocabulary. From this material, the teacher and writes the attached two-page
reminder to browse the key ideas that have been raised and insist on the essential glossary.
(7b) Further questions were raised by the students and answered by the teacher via e-mail,
especially regarding the various means of preservation (some of the students specialized in
food processing!). Thus the additional text below:
- Chilling: cooling down, refrigerate, preserve at a low (but above-zero) temperature
- Freezing: storing something at a very low temperature (much below 0°C)
- Pickling: preserved in in vinegar, brine (strongly salted water), or a similar solution.
- Bottling: keep in tightly closed bottles (without air) a product that was previously sterilized
by heat
Same principle as canning (in metal tins or glass jars) or other kinds of preserves.
- In the case of jam (made from fruits), in addition to sterilization by a high temperature, the
preservation is ensured by a lot of sugar. Provided the jar or pot stays hermetically sealed
(no air neither microbe can come inside, once sterilized).
For completeness, other means of preservation that were not mentioned in the main text,
such as dehydration (dried products), lyophilization (freeze-drying), fermentation
(sauerkraut, made from cabbage for instance) or even gamma-irradiation (which is strictly
regulated, for potatoes, onions…)
Course 8- Knowledge assessment
In a written test, the students are asked to
“Explain why cooking is a concern in sustainable development”

Genes.
Some people are born with a gene that makes them more sensitive to strong flavours. For
these people sweet things taste sweeter, salty things taste saltier and bitter things taste
more bitter. Children who have this gene often refuse food with bitter flavours such as fruit
and vegetables.
Experience.
If children’s older brothers and sisters or parents refuse to eat something, they will probably do
the same. This is why it’s important to give children lots of different kinds of food with
different textures and flavours when they are really young.
Texture.
The texture and smell of food often puts children off. For most kids, mushrooms have a horrible
texture, fish is smelly and the taste of red meat is too strong.
Evolution.
Children are usually fussy about the same food: vegetables, meat and fruit. In early human
history, these types of food could be dangerous and might poison you!
Were there any types of food you didn’t like as a child, but love now? Please leave your
comments.
#Veggie girl: Eggs – I didn’t like the texture or the smell. And fried eggs were really greasy. I
hated them as a kid, but now I love all kinds of eggs: boiled, scrambled , even fried, and my
favourite, an omelette with some cheese on top. Mmmmm, tasty!
#Hungry man: Very ripe bananas! I used to think the texture was disgusting. I felt the same
about mushrooms. But now I love mushrooms in everything – they’re delicious on pizzas
and in pasta sauces!
#Foodie: I was a very fussy eater – I hated green beans and refused to eat all other green
vegetables: broccoli, cabbage, spinach and especially Brussels sprouts. But I eat all
vegetables now, except for the beetroot, tomatoes and red peppers – I’m allergic to them.
#Shane: Meat. I didn’t ,like the strong taste. Now my favourite meal is a big juicy steak with
crispy chips and fresh green salad.
#Kitchen Ken: When I was younger, I didn’t like anything spicy. I only liked mild flavours. Now
my favourite food is hot Mexican food with lots of chilis!
#Edward: Anything from the sea. I hated prawns and all kinds of shellfish, But now I love all
fish: tuna, sardines and salmon are my favourites. But they have to be cooked – I’m not
keen on raw fish in sushi for example.

CAN A TEENAGE ENVIRONMENTALIST CLEAN UP OUR OCEANS?
Boyan Slats in a young Dutchman with a mission to save the oceans from the consequences of our
throwaway society.
The facts.
Oceans cover 71% of the earth’s surface. From the fresh water of the polar ice caps to the seabed
eleven kilometers below the surface of the deepest point of the pacific Ocean, the ocean is
home to
61
Lesson Plans On Sustainability From Polish Partner
over half of all living species. Over the past 100 years, due to global warming, the sea level has
risen to 25 centimeters.
The problem.
The oceans are being used as rubbish tips. 32% of toxic contaminants in oceans come from air
pollution such as acid rain and debris blown from landfills. Other pollutants are sewage,
industrial waste and pollution from oilfields and ships. The plastic debris concentrates in five
rotating currents like giant whirlpools called gyres. The largest gyre, called the Pacific Garbage
Patch, is twice the size of France and is located between Hawaii and California. At least one
million seabirds, and one hundred thousand marine mammals die each year due to plastic
pollution. When plastic breaks up into smaller particles it becomes a hazard for marine wildlife.
Seabirds, whales, turtles and other sea creatures regularly consume waste products, which can
be easy mistaken for jellyfish or other prey but cannot be degraded in the stomach. The
animals die from starvation because they are not getting the nutrients they need. Plastic also
slowly release toxins and other chemical substances that work their way up the marine food chain.
A solution.
At the age of 19 Boyan Slat invented a device that he claims could clean up to 20 billion tonnes of
plastic waste from the world’s oceans. Unlike conventional methods of cleaning up plastic using
ships and nets, Boyan Slat’s “Ocean Clean-up” concept is based on a simple idea: with its waves,
tides and currents the ocean never stops moving, so instead of going after the
plastics, as most traditional methods do, you could simply wait for the plastic to come to you. A
floating barrier 100km in length, would catch the debris, enabling the platform to extract it
afterwards. The ocean current could pass underneath the barriers taking all sea life with it.
Boyan Slat believes that his innovation could clean up half of the Pacific Garbage Patch over a
period of 10 years, and would make up to 50 million dollars a year from recycling the waste
collected.

THE FACTS ABOUT MEAT CONSUMPTION AND ITS EFFECT ON THE
ENVIRONMENT
The global livestock industry produces more greenhouse gas emissions than all cars, planes,
trains and ships combined, but a worldwide survey finds that twice as many people think
transport is the bigger contributor to global warming. The survey author Bob Bailey said:
“Preventing catastrophic warming is dependent on tackling meat and dairy consumption, but
the world is doing very little. A lot is being done on deforestation and transport, but there is a
substantial gap on the livestock sector”.
64
Lesson Plans On Sustainability From Polish Partner
Emissions from livestock, largely from burping cows and sheep and their manure
currently constitute almost 15% of global emissions. Beef and dairy alone make up
65% of all livestock emissions.
Over past 50 years, global meat production has almost quadrupled. On average, every
person on earth consumes 42.9 kg of meat per year. In the UK and US, the average
person consumes from 60 to 90kg of meat annually.
Meat consumption is on track to rise 75% by 2050. To meet demand, the world’s
agribusiness firms will attempt to boost their annual meat output from 3,000 million tons
today to 4,800 millions tons by 2050.
Factory-style livestock production is a critical driver of agricultural industrialisation. Its
remorseless expansions is contributing to radical climate change, deforestation,
biodiversity loss and human-rights violations.
One major problem with factory-style livestock production is that it leads to
considerable greenhouse-gas emissions – and not just because the digestive
processes of ruminant animals produce methane. The waste from animals, together
with the fertilizers and pesticides used to produce feed, generate large quantities of
nitrogen oxides.
Nearly half of all water used in the US goes to raising animals for food. It takes more
than 20,000 litres of water to produce one kilogram of meat. To produce one kilogram
of wheat takes 220 litres.
If the world ate 15% less meat, it would be like taking 240 million cars off the road each
year.
#Veggie: Very informative. Personally I believe humans consume too much meat. If this
continue to the unpardonable destruction of the environment, we will also fail to sustain
future generations. Reducing meat consumption is paramount.
#Carnivore: I disagree entirely. The world has always found ways to sustain itself and
there is no hard evidence that meat consumption will disable this process. If anything,
it’s the government that should promote sustainable agriculture.
1. Farming is a bigger contributor to the global warming than transport. T/F
2. Poultry production is responsible for the highest level of farming related green-house
gas emissions. T/F
3. We produce 4 times as much meat as we did 50 years ago. T/F
4. You need 9 times more water to produce a kilo of meat than of wheat. T/F

Grammar focus – inversion after adverbials:
The devastating effects of flash floods.
Flash floods come with no warning. There’s no time to prepare and once the waters hit, there’s nothing you can do to stop
them: roads are closed, livestock killed, crops destroyed and families forced from their homes. Not only do the flood water
cause structural damage to roads and buildings but they also affect power lines and water supplies. But only once the
water has receded can the real damage be evaluated. Flood water carries with it mud and pollutants and often toxic wastes
from sewerage and industrial plants. Families who may have fled their homes in the middle of the night return home to a
terrible shock. Little do they imagine the conditions they’ll find when they return to their houses.
Grammar notes:
- you can place an adverbial at the beginning of a sentence to emphasise some information. Then, the auxiliary verb comes
before the subject.
We couldn’t return to our home until August = Not until August could we return to our homes.
Floods damage roads and buildings. = Not only do floods damage roads, but buildings.
- examples of negative adverbials: little (with a negative use), expressions with not ( not until, not only, not for a moment,
not a word, etc.)
- examples of limiting / emphatic adverbials: expressions with only (not only… but…, only after, only once, only then, only
by chance, only in this way), hardly / scarcely...when…, no sooner… than… .
Now, rewrite the sentences so that the meaning stays the same. Use the words and phrases in capitals:
1. They didn’t know it would rain for three consecutive days. LITTLE
2. They couldn’t estimate the costs of repairs until the floods had died down. NOT UNTIL
3. Floods don’t just damage real estate but many other kinds of property are destroyed as well. NOT ONLY
4. It was only in this way that he managed to save his house from the cyclone. DID
5. It was pure luck that they were able to escape the hurricane. ONLY BY CHANCE
6. As soon as I plugged the gap, it started leaking again. NO SOONER
7. I managed to rescue the cat moments before the wall collapsed. SCARCELY
8. The local police have shown no signs of panic at all. AT NO TIME
Language focus – animal idioms.
Write idioms with the animals from brackets.
( bird, bull, dog, duck, goose, horse)
1. take the …….. by the horns = face up to a challenge
2. let sleeping ……..s lie = leave sth alone if it might cause trouble
3. be like water off a ……..’s back = used to say that sb is unconcerned by criticism
4. a wild …… chase = a search for sth that is unattainable or non-existent
5. kill two …….s with one stone = achieve two things with one action
6. straight from the …..’s mouth = directly from the source

Climate change and global warming
Climate change
Wikipedia defines climate as follows:
Climate encompasses the statistics of temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind, rainfall, atmospheric particle count and
other meteorological elements in a given region over a long period of time. Climate can be contrasted to weather, which is the present
condition of these same elements and their variations over shorter time periods.
Climate may be inherently variable as evidenced by the irregularity of the seasons from one year to another. This variability is normal
and may remain partially understood. It is related to changes in ocean currents, volcanic eruptions, solar radiation and other
omponents of the climate system. In addition, our climate also has its extremes (such as floods, droughts, hail, tornadoes and hurri-
canes), which can be devastating. However, in recent decades, a number of indicators and studies show more and more evidence of
climate warming across the globe. A disturbing phenomenon that challenges human habits and activities which are responsible for
greenhouse gas emissions.
The green house effect
The greenhouse effect is the process by which absorption and emission of infrared radiation by gases in the atmosphere warm a
planet's lower atmosphere and surface. It was proposed by Joseph Fourier in 1824 and was first investigated quantitatively by Svante
Arrhenius in 1896.
Naturally occurring greenhouse gases have a mean warming effect of about 33 C (59 F). But Human activity since the Industrial
Revolution has increased the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, leading to increased radiative forcing from CO2,
methane, tropospheric ozone, CFCs (chlorofluorocarbon) and nitrous oxide. The concentrations of CO2 and methane have increased
by 36% and 148% respectively since 1750. These levels are much higher than at any time during the last 650,000 years, the period
for which reliable data has been extracted from ice cores. Over the last three decades of the 20th century, GDP (Gross Domestic
Product) per capita and population growth were the main drivers of increases in greenhouse gas emissions. CO2 emissions are
continuing to rise due to the burning of fossil fuels and land-use change.
Consequences of global warming
There are two major effects of global warming: the increase of temperature on the earth by about 3 to 5 C (5.4to 9Fahrenheit) by the
year 2100 and Rise of sea levels by at least 25 meters (82 feet) by the year 2100. Other consequences are listed below:
 Sea levels are rising due to thermal expansion of the ocean, in addition to melting of land ice.
 Amounts and patterns of precipitation are changing.
 The total annual power of hurricanes has already increased markedly since 1975 because their average intensity and average
duration have increased.
 Changes in temperature and precipitation patterns increase the frequency, duration, and intensity of other extreme weather
events, such as floods, droughts, heat waves, and tornadoes.
 Higher or lower agricultural yields, further glacial retreat, reduced summer stream flows, species extinctions.
Diseases like malaria are returning into areas where they have been extinguished earlier.

Our school has a 630m2 building area with a 630m2 building area of 6963 m2 and has a capacity of 12 classrooms, 1 science laboratory, 1 library, 1 conference hall, 1 computer laboratory, 4 administrators, 22 teachers, 1 officer and 1 servant with 365 students. There are 114 capacity male student pension with 3 storeys. We made the COMENIUS project in 2013. International sports, social and cultural activities are not successful. In many countries of the world, schools support their academic programs through projects that promote international competence and perspective. Thanks to the cooperation between these schools, many international projects have been spent. The projects we are talking about are an integral part of our multilingual, multicultural education approach. Cultural, artistic and political projects, students experience the functioning of international structures that they will take place in the future or perhaps even to direct. The main aim of the education system is to prepare the student for life. The system reaches this goal by equipping the student with the necessary knowledge, helping them discover and develop their abilities. Social activities and club activities during the education life enable the student to transform his knowledge into experience. At our school, students participate in a club each year, and at least once, until the time of graduation, the "social service club" takes place. Through social activities, students learn to value the values of community service, solidarity and sharing, to learn about organizational techniques and democratic life. Students are also prepared to live at the same time as developing their self-confidence, teamwork, analytical thinking and leadership skills by undertaking various social roles in the activity process. emirdaganadolulisesi.meb.k12.tr

Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving. It’s called “Black Friday” because when sales are in positive, as when the stores make money, it’s considered “black”. So, on Black Friday, everything, all the products that is, are very cheap and everyone goes to the stores very, very, very early in the morning. When I was younger, the stores opened at 5 a.m. and people could be getting shopping that early. Now, however, there are some stores that open at midnight. I personally don’t go to the stores at midnight. However, my friends camp out in the parking lot before the store opens. Then, when they see more people arrive, they get in line. Many, many people do not like to get in line, so people try to elbow their way in, cut you off or sneak in. I intend to go in the morning, to beat traffic but I do not go at three in the morning. That’s too extreme for me. However, like every other shopper on Black Friday, I try to buy all of my Christmas gifts for my entire family and friends and I spend all the money I possibly can because the prices will not be any cheaper for the rest of the year. *to camp out : camper *a parking lot = a parking : un parking *to elbown one’s way in :faire du coude pour entrer quelque part -> an elbow : une épaule *to cut sombedody off : passer devant quelqu’un *to sneak in : se faufiler -> a snake : un serpent *to intend to : essayer *to spend, spent, spent : dépenser, passer (du temps) http://pedagogie2.ac-reunion.fr/cyberproflv/index_fichiers/podcaz_Bac_anglais.htm

  • 42. 42 Lesson Plans On Sustainability From French Partner BARTERING Consumers share in savings Haley Shapley April 20, 2011 in Personal Finance Knocking on your neighbor’s door to borrow a cup of sugar and sticking around to chat is a ritual as comforting as an old sweater. Websites that connect people who are interested in borrowing, bartering or buying used instead of new are gaining in popularity. Trendspotters have even given the phenomenon a name: collaborative consumption. And they say it’s hitting home with consumers because it saves money while connecting them with like-minded folks. “Collaborative consumption is emerging so fast and across sectors because of a perfect storm of four key socioeconomic drivers,” says Rachel Botsman, co-author of “What’s Mine Is Yours: The Rise of Collaborative Consumption.” She says these factors are environmental awareness, a renewed sense of community, a recession that fundamentally shook consumers and a torrent of social media that facilitates collaborating. Sites for sharing Sure, you’ve heard of Craigslist and eBay. But new entrants are taking collaborative consumption into new territories, providing fresh opportunities for consumers to be frugal. Take for example Airbnb: Whether you have space to spare or want to stay in a place with flair, Airbnb matches hosts and guests with a wide range of accommodations around the world. For hosts, it’s free to list your space; you get paid 24 hours after the guest checks in. For traverlers, a recent survey of the site showed a wide selection of options below $100 in major American and European cities. Making a connection For April O’Connell-Cole, a mom of two from Truckee, Calif., collaborative consumption has paid off big time. “My daughter’s only 5 months old and she’s already been through three sizes — she’s wearing an outfit only once or twice,” she says. For that reason, she joined thredUP, a collaborative consumption site where moms swap childen's clothing and toys. But especially meaningful are the bonds she has formed with other thredUp users. “It’s a really good community of like-minded parents,” O’Connell-Cole says. “That’s probably my favorite part about it. People are willing to scour their houses (to help you).” It’s no wonder that collaborative consumption recently made a list of “10 ideas that will change the world” in Time magazine. “There’s so much opportunity in this market,” says Lauren Anderson, an Australia-based collaborative consumption consultant. “There’s stuff around us all the time that we’re not using to its full potential.” Source: adapted from http://www.bankrate.com/finance/personal-finance/consumers-who-share-are-sharing-in- savings-1.aspx
  • 43. 43 Lesson Plans On Sustainability From French Partner Geography Trade Fair trade Bananas growing in Vietnam The result of the pattern of world trade is that the workers in primary industries in LEDCs often lose out. They receive low wages and often have poor standards of living. They cannot afford education for their children and many children are required to work to help their families earn a living. Fair trade means that the producer receives a guaranteed and fair price for their product regardless of the price on the world market. This means their quality of life should improve, as well as the long-term prospects for their children. Fair trade products sometimes cost more in supermarkets in MEDCs, but many consumers consider this a small price to pay for the benefits they bring. Fair trade sets minimum standards for the pay and conditions of workers. The Fair Trade Organisation promotes Global Citizenship by guaranteeing a fair, minimum price for products. In this way, they support producers in improving their living conditions. About 5 million people benefit from Fair Trade in 58 countries. Fair trade products are becoming more widespread and include tea, coffee, sugar, chocolate and cotton. Source: http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/geography/development/trade_rev1.shtml
  • 44. 44 Lesson Plans On Sustainability From French Partner From chocolate and coffee to cut flowers, people in the UK now buy more Fairtrade-certified goods than ever. But what's it all about and who benefits? Farmers, plantation workers and other producers in developing countries typically receive only a tiny fraction of the money generated by their crops or products. They also frequently face problems such as unstable prices and a lack of access to finance. The aim of the fair trade movement is to help disadvantaged producers overcome these and other problems by offering ‘fair' terms of trade. Any product traded with ethical principals in mind might be described as 'fair trade' or 'fairly traded'. However, only products that have been audited according to a strict set of specific criteria can carry the official Fairtrade mark. The exact criteria vary between product categories, though all Fairtrade-certified traders must: Pay a price that covers the cost of living Pay a premium that producers can invest in development Make partial advance payments, when requested by producers Sign contracts that allow for long-term planning and sustainable production practices The Fairtrade mark is not the brand of a particular company - it's an independent labelling scheme administered in the UK by the Fairtrade Foundation. The idea of trading with the aim of supporting poor producers has been around for decades. But fair-trade labelling didn't take off until 1988, when Dutch NGOs and politicians worked together to promote fairly traded coffee from a cooperative in Mexico. This groundbreaking scheme was in response to the collapse of the world coffee prices, which threatened the livelihoods of millions of poor farmers. Over the following years, the approach spearheaded in Holland spread to other countries and the system was extended to cover new products such as bananas, chocolate and tea. What is fair trade food? Background
  • 45. 45 Lesson Plans On Sustainability From French Partner Today, Fairtrade-certified products account for a small but significant portion of Europe's food imports. The system benefits an estimated 800,000 farmers and workers (plus millions of family members) in Africa, Asia and Latin America. In the UK, more than half of consumers recognise the Fairtrade mark and the market is presently valued at £300 million. Coffee, chocolate, bananas and tea are still among the most popular fairly traded products. But now the Fairtrade mark can also be found on various fruit and vegetables, as well as wine, honey, cotton clothes and footballs. Aside from these officially certified products, there are also many ethically traded handicrafts and other items available via websites, fair trade shops or charity catalogues. As the fair trade movement has grown, various questions have been raised about which products and traders should qualify for certification. British Fairtrade. In 2003, a consultation was held about the possibility of organic farmers in the UK qualifying for Fairtrade certification. In the end, the idea was rejected, because consumers felt the scheme should focus specifically on poor farmers in developing countries. Local versus fair trade. Most Fairtrade certified products are tropical crops that can't be easily grown in Europe. But since 2003 it's been possible to buy some Fairtrade produce, such as apples from South Africa, which could have been grown locally. Some environmental campaigners concerned about ‘food miles' feel that this introduces an unnecessary clash between ethical trade and climate protection. The Nestlé debate. In 2005, Nestlé started selling Fairtrade certified coffee under its Partners Blend brand. This was seen as controversial because of the criticism Nestlé has received over the years over various ethical issues. But the Fairtrade Foundation considered Nestlé's decision a huge success, demonstrating that fair trade principles were starting to affect major corporations. Such debates aside, there's no doubting the huge success of the fair trade movement over the past two decades. And, with the sales of Fairtrade-certified products continuing to rise steeply, the next ten years look set to see even greater success.

  • 46. 46 Lesson Plans On Sustainability From French Partner LONDON, England (CNN) -- Ever felt guilty about the food or the old television you chucked out? Perhaps you are a freegan at heart. Ever seen a group of healthy-looking young people going through the garbage and wondered what they are up to? Perhaps you have had a rare sighting of a freegan. What is a freegan? A freegan is a social activist who, repulsed by the waste produced by modern society, has taken to eating food and collecting goods that have been thrown away. Freegans are driven by an anti-capitalist dogma, mixed with environmental, anti-globalization and some vegan ideals. As the movement's manifesto declares: "Freeganism is a total boycott of an economic system where the profit motive has eclipsed ethical considerations and where massively complex systems of productions ensure that all the products we buy will have detrimental impacts most of which we may never even consider. Thus, instead of avoiding the purchase of products from one bad company only to support another, we avoid buying anything to the greatest degree we are able." Where does a freegan eat? A freegan usually finds food that has passed its use-by-date from large rubbish bins outside supermarkets, fast food outlets, bakeries and farmers' markets. Other freegans forage in woods or in parks for edible plants or fungi. What else do they believe? They are basically iHippies, endorsing working less, recycling, hitchhiking, cycling and squatting. Where did the word freegan come from? "Freegan" comes from the blending of the words "free" and "vegan". It has also been suggested it comes from "free" and "gain". "The freegan goes further than the vegan," declares the manifesto, "noticing the plastic the tofu hot dogs are wrapped in, and thinking of fish and birds asphyxiating in slicks of oil in seas turned black with spilled crude." How much food is wasted each year? According to the anthropologist Tim Jones, from the University of Arizona, as much as $90 to $100 billion worth of food in the U.S. is wasted each year. Meanwhile, in the UK, the Environment Agency estimates the food and drinks industry generates 10 million tonnes of waste each year, a third of which has the potential for consumption. Are freegans taking food from the homeless? Some food retailers and wholesalers, frustrated by stringent policies that mean they must throw out food when it is past its use-by-date, donate food to homeless charities. In the UK, the charity Fareshare collects donated food from over 100 retailers and regular wholesalers, and distributes it to the homeless. Furthermore, freegans claim they only take what they need.

  • 47. 47 Lesson Plans On Sustainability From French Partner What is a Freegan? Freegans are people who employ alternative strategies for living based on limited participation in the conventional economy and minimal consumption of resources. Freegans embrace community, generosity, social concern, freedom, cooperation, and sharing in opposition to a society based on materialism, moral apathy, competition, conformity, and greed. Freeganism is a total boycott of an economic system where the profit motive has eclipsed ethical considerations and where massively complex systems of productions ensure that all the products we buy will have detrimental impacts most of which we may never even consider. Thus, instead of avoiding the purchase of products from one bad company only to support another, we avoid buying anything to the greatest degree we are able. The word freegan is compounded from “free” and “vegan”. Vegans are people who avoid products from animal sources or products tested on animals in an effort to avoid harming animals. Freegans take this a step further by recognizing that in a complex, industrial, mass-production economy driven by profit, abuses of humans, animals, and the earth abound at all levels of production (from acquisition to raw materials to production to transportation) and in just about every product we buy. Freegans employ a range of strategies for practical living based on our principles: Waste reclamation We live in an economic system where consumers are constantly being bombarded with advertising telling them to discard and replace the goods they already have because this increases sales. This practice of affluent societies produces an amount of waste so enormous that many people can be fed and supported simply on its trash. Perhaps the most notorious freegan strategy is what is commonly called “urban foraging” or “dumpster diving”. This technique involves rummaging through the garbage of retailers, residences, offices, and other facilities for useful goods. Despite our society’s sterotypes about garbage, the goods recovered by freegans are safe, useable, clean, and in perfect or near-perfect condition, a symptom of a throwaway culture that encourages us to constantly replace our older goods with newer ones, and where retailers plan high-volume product disposal as part of their economic model. Groups like Food Not Bombs recover foods that would otherwise go to waste and use them to prepare meals to share in public places with anyone who wishes to partake. Waste minimization Freegans scrupulously recycle, compost organic matter into topsoil, and repair rather than replace items whenever possible. Anything unusable by us, we redistribute to our friends, at freemarkets, or using internet services like freecycle and craigslist. Eco-friendly transportation Freegans recognize the disastrous social and ecological impacts of the automobile. We all know that automobiles cause pollution created from the burning of petroleum but we usually don’t think of the other destruction factors like forests being eliminated from road building in wilderness areas and collision deaths of humans and wildlife. Therefore, freegans choose not to use cars for the most part. Rather, we use other methods of transportation including trainhopping, hitchhiking, walking, skating, and biking.
  • 48. 48 Lesson Plans On Sustainability From French Partner Rent-free housing Freegans believe that housing is a RIGHT, not a privilege. Just as freegans consider it an atrocity for people to starve while food is thrown away, we are also outraged that people literally freeze to death on the streets while landlords, banks and cities keep buildings boarded up and vacant. Squatters are people who occupy and rehabilitate abandoned, decrepit buildings. Squatters believe that real human needs are more important than abstract notions of private property. In addition to living areas, squatters often convert abandoned buildings into community centers with programs including art activities for children, environmental education, meetings of community organizations, and more. Going green We live in a society where the foods that we eat are often grown a world away, overprocessed, and then transported long distances to be stored for too long, all at a high ecological cost. Because of this process, we’ve lost appreciation for the changes in season and the cycles of life but some of us are reconnecting to the Earth through gardening and wild foraging. Wild foragers demonstrate that we can feed ourselves without supermarkets and treat our illnesses without pharmacies by familiarizing ourselves with the edible and medicinal plants growing all around us. Even city parks can yield useful foods and medicines, giving us a renewed appreciation of the reality that our sustenance comes ultimately not from corporate food producers, but from the Earth itself. Working less How much of our lives do we sacrifice to pay bills and buy more stuff? For most of us, work means sacrificing our freedom to take orders from someone else, stress, boredom, monotony, and in many cases risks to our physical and psychological well-being. By accounting for the basic necessities of food, clothing, housing, furniture, and transportation without spending a dime, freegans are able to greatly reduce or altogether eliminate the need to constantly be employed. We can instead devote our time to caring for our families, volunteering in our communities, and joining activist groups to fight the practices of the corporations who would otherwise be bossing us around at work.

(7b) Further questions were raised by the students and answered by the teacher via e-mail, especially regarding the various means of preservation (some of the students specialized in food processing!). Thus the additional text below: - Chilling: cooling down, refrigerate, preserve at a low (but above-zero) temperature - Freezing: storing something at a very low temperature (much below 0°C) - Pickling: preserved in in vinegar, brine (strongly salted water), or a similar solution. - Bottling: keep in tightly closed bottles (without air) a product that was previously sterilized by heat Same principle as canning (in metal tins or glass jars) or other kinds of preserves. - In the case of jam (made from fruits), in addition to sterilization by a high temperature, the preservation is ensured by a lot of sugar. Provided the jar or pot stays hermetically sealed (no air neither microbe can come inside, once sterilized). For completeness, other means of preservation that were not mentioned in the main text, such as dehydration (dried products), lyophilization (freeze-drying), fermentation (sauerkraut, made from cabbage for instance) or even gamma-irradiation (which is strictly regulated, for potatoes, onions…) Course 8- Knowledge assessment In a written test, the students are asked to “Explain why cooking is a concern in sustainable development” Disclaimer: This project has been funded with support from the European Commission.

For these people sweet things taste sweeter, salty things taste saltier and bitter things taste more bitter. Children who have this gene often refuse food with bitter flavours such as fruit and vegetables. Experience. If children’s older brothers and sisters or parents refuse to eat something, they will probably do the same. This is why it’s important to give children lots of different kinds of food with different textures and flavours when they are really young. Texture. The texture and smell of food often puts children off. For most kids, mushrooms have a horrible texture, fish is smelly and the taste of red meat is too strong. Evolution. Children are usually fussy about the same food: vegetables, meat and fruit. In early human history, these types of food could be dangerous and might poison you! Were there any types of food you didn’t like as a child, but love now? Please leave your comments. #Veggie girl: Eggs – I didn’t like the texture or the smell. And fried eggs were really greasy. I hated them as a kid, but now I love all kinds of eggs: boiled, scrambled , even fried, and my favourite, an omelette with some cheese on top. Mmmmm, tasty! #Hungry man: Very ripe bananas! I used to think the texture was disgusting. I felt the same about mushrooms. But now I love mushrooms in everything – they’re delicious on pizzas and in pasta sauces! #Foodie: I was a very fussy eater – I hated green beans and refused to eat all other green vegetables: broccoli, cabbage, spinach and especially Brussels sprouts. But I eat all vegetables now, except for the beetroot, tomatoes and red peppers – I’m allergic to them. #Shane: Meat. I didn’t ,like the strong taste. Now my favourite meal is a big juicy steak with crispy chips and fresh green salad. #Kitchen Ken: When I was younger, I didn’t like anything spicy. I only liked mild flavours. Now my favourite food is hot Mexican food with lots of chilis! #Edward: Anything from the sea. I hated prawns and all kinds of shellfish, But now I love all fish: tuna, sardines and salmon are my favourites. But they have to be cooked – I’m not keen on raw fish in sushi for example.

Boyan Slats in a young Dutchman with a mission to save the oceans from the consequences of our throwaway society. The facts. Oceans cover 71% of the earth’s surface.

The oceans are being used as rubbish tips. 32% of toxic contaminants in oceans come from air pollution such as acid rain and debris blown from landfills. Other pollutants are sewage, industrial waste and pollution from oilfields and ships. The plastic debris concentrates in five rotating currents like giant whirlpools called gyres. The largest gyre, called the Pacific Garbage Patch, is twice the size of France and is located between Hawaii and California. At least one million seabirds, and one hundred thousand marine mammals die each year due to plastic pollution. When plastic breaks up into smaller particles it becomes a hazard for marine wildlife. Seabirds, whales, turtles and other sea creatures regularly consume waste products, which can be easy mistaken for jellyfish or other prey but cannot be degraded in the stomach. The animals die from starvation because they are not getting the nutrients they need. Plastic also slowly release toxins and other chemical substances that work their way up the marine food chain. A solution. At the age of 19 Boyan Slat invented a device that he claims could clean up to 20 billion tonnes of plastic waste from the world’s oceans. Unlike conventional methods of cleaning up plastic using ships and nets, Boyan Slat’s “Ocean Clean-up” concept is based on a simple idea: with its waves, tides and currents the ocean never stops moving, so instead of going after the plastics, as most traditional methods do, you could simply wait for the plastic to come to you. A floating barrier 100km in length, would catch the debris, enabling the platform to extract it afterwards. The ocean current could pass underneath the barriers taking all sea life with it. Boyan Slat believes that his innovation could clean up half of the Pacific Garbage Patch over a period of 10 years, and would make up to 50 million dollars a year from recycling the waste collected. 1.Oceans cover 61% / 71% of the earth’s surface. 2.The deepest point of the Pacific Ocean is 7 km / 11 km below the surface. 3.Sea levels have risen 10 – 25 cm / 5 – 10 cm over the last 100 years. 4.Plastic waste remains / disappears in the ocean. 5.Plastic pollution kills at least 1 million seabirds / marine mammals every year. 6.Apart from plastic, what other things pollute the oceans? 7.What is “a gyre”, how many are there and where is the biggest one? 8.Why is plastic pollution a problem for marine wildlife? 9.How is Slat’s device different from other “clean – up” devices? 10.What two claims does Slat make about the effectiveness of his device? 11.How much plastic does your family throw away in a typical week? 12.Do you know what happens to your plastic waste?

THE FACTS ABOUT MEAT CONSUMPTION AND ITS EFFECT ON THE ENVIRONMENT The global livestock industry produces more greenhouse gas emissions than all cars, planes, trains and ships combined, but a worldwide survey finds that twice as many people think transport is the bigger contributor to global warming. The survey author Bob Bailey said: “Preventing catastrophic warming is dependent on tackling meat and dairy consumption, but the world is doing very little. A lot is being done on deforestation and transport, but there is a substantial gap on the livestock sector”.
  • 64. 64 Lesson Plans On Sustainability From Polish Partner Emissions from livestock, largely from burping cows and sheep and their manure currently constitute almost 15% of global emissions. Beef and dairy alone make up 65% of all livestock emissions. Over past 50 years, global meat production has almost quadrupled. On average, every person on earth consumes 42.9 kg of meat per year. In the UK and US, the average person consumes from 60 to 90kg of meat annually. Meat consumption is on track to rise 75% by 2050. To meet demand, the world’s agribusiness firms will attempt to boost their annual meat output from 3,000 million tons today to 4,800 millions tons by 2050. Factory-style livestock production is a critical driver of agricultural industrialisation. Its remorseless expansions is contributing to radical climate change, deforestation, biodiversity loss and human-rights violations. One major problem with factory-style livestock production is that it leads to considerable greenhouse-gas emissions – and not just because the digestive processes of ruminant animals produce methane. The waste from animals, together with the fertilizers and pesticides used to produce feed, generate large quantities of nitrogen oxides. Nearly half of all water used in the US goes to raising animals for food. It takes more than 20,000 litres of water to produce one kilogram of meat. To produce one kilogram of wheat takes 220 litres. If the world ate 15% less meat, it would be like taking 240 million cars off the road each year. #Veggie: Very informative. Personally I believe humans consume too much meat. If this continue to the unpardonable destruction of the environment, we will also fail to sustain future generations. Reducing meat consumption is paramount. #Carnivore: I disagree entirely. The world has always found ways to sustain itself and there is no hard evidence that meat consumption will disable this process. If anything, it’s the government that should promote sustainable agriculture. 1. Farming is a bigger contributor to the global warming than transport. T/F 2. Poultry production is responsible for the highest level of farming related green-house gas emissions. T/F 3. We produce 4 times as much meat as we did 50 years ago. T/F 4.

There’s no time to prepare and once the waters hit, there’s nothing you can do to stop them: roads are closed, livestock killed, crops destroyed and families forced from their homes. Not only do the flood water cause structural damage to roads and buildings but they also affect power lines and water supplies. But only once the water has receded can the real damage be evaluated. Flood water carries with it mud and pollutants and often toxic wastes from sewerage and industrial plants. Families who may have fled their homes in the middle of the night return home to a terrible shock. Little do they imagine the conditions they’ll find when they return to their houses. Grammar notes: - you can place an adverbial at the beginning of a sentence to emphasise some information. Then, the auxiliary verb comes before the subject. We couldn’t return to our home until August = Not until August could we return to our homes. Floods damage roads and buildings. = Not only do floods damage roads, but buildings. - examples of negative adverbials: little (with a negative use), expressions with not ( not until, not only, not for a moment, not a word, etc.) - examples of limiting / emphatic adverbials: expressions with only (not only… but…, only after, only once, only then, only by chance, only in this way), hardly / scarcely...when…, no sooner… than… .

  • 71. 71 Lesson Plans On Sustainability From Turkish Partner Reading Part: Climate change and global warming Climate change Wikipedia defines climate as follows: Climate encompasses the statistics of temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind, rainfall, atmospheric particle count and other meteorological elements in a given region over a long period of time. Climate can be contrasted to weather, which is the present condition of these same elements and their variations over shorter time periods. Climate may be inherently variable as evidenced by the irregularity of the seasons from one year to another. This variability is normal and may remain partially understood. It is related to changes in ocean currents, volcanic eruptions, solar radiation and other omponents of the climate system. In addition, our climate also has its extremes (such as floods, droughts, hail, tornadoes and hurri- canes), which can be devastating. However, in recent decades, a number of indicators and studies show more and more evidence of climate warming across the globe. A disturbing phenomenon that challenges human habits and activities which are responsible for greenhouse gas emissions. The green house effect The greenhouse effect is the process by which absorption and emission of infrared radiation by gases in the atmosphere warm a planet's lower atmosphere and surface. It was proposed by Joseph Fourier in 1824 and was first investigated quantitatively by Svante Arrhenius in 1896. Naturally occurring greenhouse gases have a mean warming effect of about 33 C (59 F). But Human activity since the Industrial Revolution has increased the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, leading to increased radiative forcing from CO2, methane, tropospheric ozone, CFCs (chlorofluorocarbon) and nitrous oxide. The concentrations of CO2 and methane have increased by 36% and 148% respectively since 1750. These levels are much higher than at any time during the last 650,000 years, the period for which reliable data has been extracted from ice cores. Over the last three decades of the 20th century, GDP (Gross Domestic Product) per capita and population growth were the main drivers of increases in greenhouse gas emissions. CO2 emissions are continuing to rise due to the burning of fossil fuels and land-use change. Consequences of global warming There are two major effects of global warming: the increase of temperature on the earth by about 3 to 5 C (5.4to 9Fahrenheit) by the year 2100 and Rise of sea levels by at least 25 meters (82 feet) by the year 2100. Other consequences are listed below:  Sea levels are rising due to thermal expansion of the ocean, in addition to melting of land ice.  Amounts and patterns of precipitation are changing.  The total annual power of hurricanes has already increased markedly since 1975 because their average intensity and average duration have increased.  Changes in temperature and precipitation patterns increase the frequency, duration, and intensity of other extreme weather events, such as floods, droughts, heat waves, and tornadoes.  Higher or lower agricultural yields, further glacial retreat, reduced summer stream flows, species extinctions. Diseases like malaria are returning into areas where they have been extinguished earlier. (Sources: Wikipedia | Time for change)
