The presentation lists the biggest problems our environment has to face: air and water pollution, and incorrect waste management. Beside the introduction of these challenges Hungarian sights are shown which are less affected by them or where the battle against pollution is already underway. The second goal of the project is to draw attention to the possible solutions: the aims of the Paris Agreement, and how us, primary school students can contribute to saving the planet. #SciChallenge2017

16. Waste Hiearchy - "3 Rs"
 Reduce: second-hand products, repairing
broken items, designing products to be
refillable or reusable, avoid using disposable
products
 Re-use: biological reprocessing (composting),
energy recovery, pyrolysis, resource recovery
 Recycling: the collection and reuse of waste
materials from which the items are made can
be reprocessed into new products
