1. Change Habits
to help the environment
etwinning 2021-2022
LET’S ACT
at School, at home,
for you, for the others, for all

2. Ipsonas 1 Primary School, (Panagiota Ktori)
A bad habit I have
changed, is that I have
stopped using a plastic
bottle, everyday, for my
drinking water. I am using
a metal hermit crab refilling
water. In this way I will
save 365 plastic bottles a
year, 2555 bottles the next
seven years.

3. Stop using plastic
envelopes
Ipsonas 1 Primary School (Panagiota Ktori)
“We don’t want to use the
plastic envelopes for our
drawings this year. We can
create our owns.” David said,
and we supported it. So, we
made our envelopes from paper
and draw them as we like.

4. 3. Cut the ropes from face masks, before you throw
We are destroying our planet. Our
planet needs help!
Why?
Because fish and animals are dying
because of our actions. Our planet has
to be saved.
Help!
Masks may cause fish die. They need
our help. Let’s cut the ropes of
facemasks before we throw.
LET’S ACT and help our planet!
Save our planet.

When you finish from the face masks, don’t throw
them down. Get the ropes and make a necklace
or reuse it as you like (Rafaella & Elena, Ipsonas 1
Primary School) Panagiota Ktori (teacher)

At the back of our school yard, there is a Trash can composter,
which we will use to reduce garbages.
So, composters help reducing the amount of waste and provide the hobby
gardners with fresh humus

12. 7. Plan new trees and plants to increase oxygen in
the environment
We decided to write a letter to the Mayor of
Pallini, asking to offer us a few trees in oder to
plant them in our school yard!

14. 8. We have settled a new game at school called
“The little lunchbox” (1)
We have settled a gamification procedure
for all students at school in order to change
habits and persuade them to use a
reusable plastic lunch box instead of plastic
or paper bags.
In this way, less waste will be produced by
all the students!

Every day we count how many students used a
lunch box and write it down on the calendar.

23. Minimize our rubbish, feeding chickens
We decided to collect all the food that students
don’t eat and want to throw so as to minimize our
rubbish but also feeding animals like cats, dogs
and chickens. Our students are very excited for this
action and their chickens as well.
Habit 11

24. Chickens were very happy that they are eating our students’
waste bread so…. they have started sending us their eggs at
school. We boiled the eggs and gave to students to enjoy!

sharing our action.

26. Water conditioner - less water wasted
Did you know that most of your plants
would love a homemade flower
conditioner from eggshells?
Let’s start with water from boiling eggs,
let it cool, then use it to water your
plants at home
*don’t use salt!

27. A car every day? No, thank you
It’s good for your body, it’s good for
your mind, it’s so good for the
environment if you choose a
different means of transport instead
of a car.
Maja and her friends know that and
try to rollerskate or ride a bike to
school whenever they can

28. Zero waste - upcycling is great
Everybody knows that recycling is
important. Recycling means ‘using again’.
Maja and her family are familiar with the
idea of ‘upcycling’ - using waste to make
something more interesting and valuable.
Can you guess what
these flower pots really
are?

29. If you go to the forest - go empty-handed
but come back with something
Never, ever leave anything in the forest -
rubbish is dangerous for the soil, the
animals, it can even cause fires. However,
if you are on a walk and see some rubbish,
why not take it home and put in an
appropriate recycling bin?
Maja knows how to do it!
