Estonia - Where Medieval Meets Modern
Estonia is a country of contrasts. Such pristine and untouched nature is found in only a few places in Europe. A few hundred metres off the highway you can find yourself in virgin forest, where wolves, bears, and lynx roam free.
A large proportion of our nation’s land is designated as natural protection areas. At the same time, Estonia is on the vanguard of technological development. We invented the
world famous free internet telephone service, Skype.
Wireless internet is available even on buses and trains. On small farms deep
in the forest news of the world arrives via internet, there’s no need to drive to town to buy the newspaper. On a child’s first day of school he carries a bouquet of asters for his teacher along with his book of ABCs. But there’ll also be a mobile telephone in his pocket. For every 100 Estonians there are 120 mobile telephones! To our eastern neighbours the Russians and our southern neighbours the Latvians an Estonian is
thought to be calm and slow to act. But to our northern neighbours the Finns we are a fast act which is tough to follow! When Latvians start to tell jokes, it’s often at the expense of Estonians. But what might appear a guarded and suspicious Estonian is quite the opposite, once you get acquainted with him.
Get acquainted with our small, beautiful, and interesting land!

Carbon footprint banchetti
A carbon footprint is defined as the total amount of greenhouse gases produced directly and indirectly to support human activities, usually expressed as tons of carbon dioxide equivalents. It measures the greenhouse gases an individual or organization is responsible for emitting in a given time period, such as a year. Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide trap heat in the atmosphere and contribute to climate change effects like rising temperatures and melting glaciers. Carbon footprints have direct emissions from sources like fuel combustion and indirect emissions from processes like electricity production. Small changes like using public transportation instead of cars, reducing energy usage, switching to renewable energy, eating less meat, and recycling can help reduce individual carbon footprints.
Foodprint(1)
Food's carbon footprint, or foodprint, is defined as the greenhouse gas emissions produced during the entire lifecycle of food production and consumption. The document shows that meat, cheese and eggs have the highest carbon footprints, while fruits, vegetables, beans and nuts have much lower footprints. It includes a table comparing the greenhouse gas emissions in kilograms of CO2 equivalent and miles driven to produce 1 kilogram of different foods, with lamb and beef having the highest footprints. The document provides 10 nutrition tips for reducing one's carbon footprint such as eating less meat and dairy, wasting less food, using less plastic, and growing your own produce.
M4all with scripts
The document summarizes a project by Class 4 APM to design a logo for the "Maths 4 All 2019" program. Students shared their ideas and drawings for the logo, with some focusing on geometry, books and numbers, or a head with a light bulb. The class ultimately chose the second design submitted. Students felt the project was useful for learning about other people and cultures while also practicing English.
Food and Recycling
The document discusses food and recycling. It lists the contents of a fridge as vegetables, fruits, meat, eggs, fish and dairy. It recommends eating a healthy, balanced diet with locally sourced food and variety of colors. It also emphasizes the importance of separating waste by throwing plastic, glass and cardboard in their proper recycling bins in order to reduce pollution.
Planet and food
This document discusses ways to respect the planet through reducing waste and making sustainable food choices. It notes that the author recycles at home, separating waste into different containers. It also mentions a project to install new automated recycling bins that require a card. The document then discusses the author's fridge contents and emphasizes buying local, zero-kilometer products to reduce transportation emissions and support local economies. Some examples highlighted include seafood, cheeses, and produce. While some popular products like Coca-Cola are mentioned as unhealthy options, avocados and Oreos are called out as well-known foods. The document concludes by stating the planet is our greatest resource and to preserve it we must follow rules to recycle, buy local fresh
Our food and supermarkets
A supermarket offers a variety of food products packed in plastic, paper, or glass containers and displayed with attractive colors. Common products include Coca-Cola, Ringo biscuits produced in Italy, Barilla pasta from Parma, Red Bull energy drink from Austria, Oreo cookies from the United States, Pantene shampoo from Switzerland, and various fruits, vegetables, spices, and nuts from around the world. Many food items are wrapped in plastic which has significantly increased production since the 1960s and led to pollution in the oceans. A healthy diet focuses on reducing salt, sugar, saturated and trans fats while emphasizing unsaturated fats, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.

Where do the supermarket products come from andrea ghiani
The document discusses going to the store and highlights several departments - fruit/vegetable, butchery, and confectionary. It emphasizes that advertising influences consumption habits but encourages using one's brain to make better choices, such as preferring local products, healthy food, and avoiding junk food.
Rainforests
The document discusses two major rainforests - the Amazon and the Congo. It notes that the Amazon produces all the oxygen needed for the world and contains vast biodiversity, but it is currently suffering from fires, reduction in flora and fauna, and deaths of indigenous people due to climate change. The Congo forest covers over 200 million hectares and is home to many endangered species, maintaining 10-20% of the planet's carbon. However, deforestation is growing exponentially due to road construction, and the forest surface has halved in recent years. Rainforests are important as they produce oxygen to sustain life and help dispose of pollution, but cutting them down decreases oxygen and increases pollution.
Our Food
Junk food like chips and chocolate bars are commonly found in school vending machines alongside plastic and metal packaging, while some machines also offer healthier organic options like sandwiches. Vending machines can be useful but distributing unhealthy snacks may not be best for students.
Presentazione erasmus valdarno
An Erasmus+ project called "Our Planet, Our Future" involves five schools from five countries working together. One of the participating schools is Istituto Tecnico Economico "F.

Presentazione dani(1)
A person walked 1.3km to Follonica coast to pick up waste and collected various plastic and paper items such as bottles, towels, caps, bags, cigarettes and cups. The document also listed the degradation times of these materials, which range from weeks to over 1000 years, and emphasized the importance of reducing plastic waste to save oceans and marine life, as scientists predict there will be more plastic than fish in oceans by 2050.
Trash found in natural locations
This document discusses human impact on nature through littering and pollution. It describes the author finding non-biodegradable plastic waste like bottles, bags, and cigarette butts strewn along a beach in Tuscany, disrupting the natural harmony. The document notes that such waste can take decades or even thousands of years to degrade, and that today we are experiencing the effects of past generations' disrespect of nature through traces of littering in all natural areas. It concludes that the simplest thing we can do to help the environment is to be civilized people and not litter.

The document summarizes an experiment conducted by an Italian student group on constructing a homemade weather station from reused everyday objects to learn about global warming. The students built a thermometer using a bottle, food coloring, water, alcohol and a straw to measure air temperature. A barometer was assembled out of a plastic jar, rubber from a balloon, and a straw to measure air pressure. An igrometer to measure humidity was created using a human hair donated by a student, which was tested in alcohol to remove oils and would change size according to moisture in the air. Working in groups, the students created and calibrated these instruments, attaching them to a wooden base to complete the weather station. The project promoted cooperative, hands-on science

A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

Folclore and traditions of tuscany
- 1. Folclore and traditions of Tuscany
- 2. Tuscany is one of the most beautiful regions of Italy, with its wonderful cities of art, from Florence to Pisa, via Siena, Lucca and many others, with its opulent campaign with the coast embellished with beaches and coves with a clean blue sea. And it is also a region rich in tradition and folklore.
- 3. Between the parties and costumed pageants, the most famous is undoubtedly the Palio di Siena, the carousel horse of medieval origin that continuously since 1644 sees every year a fierce competition among the districts of the town: on 2 July with the Palio of Provenzano and on 16 August with the Palio dell'Assunta.
- 5. Another very evocative palio is the Palio Marinaro of the Argentario, the historical regatta is held on 15 August every year in Porto Santo Stefano.
- 6. The first Sunday of September in Arezzo is held the Giostra del Saracino, an old competition in which a target is hit with a lance, by a man on horseback. It is also mentioned by Dante Alighieri in the twenty-first Canto of the Inferno.
- 7. In Torrita di Siena, instead, it's not horses that are competing but ... donkeys, with the "Palio dei Somari", which takes place in the month of March. Finally, among the most renowned, there is also the parade of the Carnival of Viareggio. Equally attractive, though less famous, is the Carnival of Foiano.
- 8. In early April, the village of Vecchiano, Pisa, turns to the spring fair, with markets, gourmet shops, animal farm exhibitions for children and sports competitions. Between June and September there are festivals for everyone.
