The document discusses ways to help protect the Earth and promote more sustainable practices. It describes how students in a kindergarten class created a garden to grow plants. It then discusses different animals native to the Murgia region of Italy that are endangered due to environmental destruction. The rest of the document focuses on promoting biological farming, recycling, and clean energy sources like solar, wind, and water to help the environment.

2. THE EARTH NEEDS HELP

3. WE HELP THE EARTH….. … .. TO HELP OURSELVES

4. The Earth is felt badly today, to the sudden it has stopped turning, it is weak, it is sad, it is very tired, it whispers: - The oxygen misses me, they have burn’t the woods, the forests, the threshing floor that protects me, that dresses me, the rivers, the seas have poisoned, I have the heart that doesn't hold up, has gotten sick!

5. It tells the sun the moon: - That we do? Our friend as we take care of it? What to do? They wonder the stars calling in sky all the sisters.

6. A child shouts : - We will protect you, trees, plants we will sow, we will clean the rivers, the lakes, the sea, I pray you, Earth, continuous to turn.

7. The Earth moved by the pain of children, of the sky, of the violas, it starts over turning little by little, and the sun greets her, from far.

8. EARTH'S JOB EARTH THE GARDEN MURGIA’S ANIMALS ANIMALS IN EXTICTION BIOLOGICAL CULTIVATIONS THE RECYCLING CLEAN ENERGY

9. THE JARDIN IN THE SCHOOL In the kindergarten, our pupils have created a beautiful garden. They has sowed, they have watered every day and them they have seen to be born so many plants, so many flowers that then they has drawn.

11. FROM SEED TO PLANT

13. THE SUN AND PIMPA PIMPA IS DOING A PICTURE

14. THE SUN SMILES TO SNOWDROP

15. FROM FLOWER TO ………..

16. FROM SEED TO FLOWER

17. THE MURGIA ALTAMURA

18. MURGIA’S ANIMALS Murgia’s animals are so many: MAMMALS INSECTS REPTILES BIRDS

19. MAMMALS

20. FOX MOLE HARE PORCUPINE

21. RHYME

22. INSECTS THE MOTHS LIVE AT NIGHT ABOVE ALL THE EMIPTERAN IS A LITTLE INSECT

23. THE ANTS ALWAYS MARCH IN LINE THE BUTTERFLIES SUCK THE NECTAR OF THE FLOWERS

24. THE LADY BIRD IS RED AND BLACK THE FROG CAN LIVE BOTH ON THE EARTH ON IN A WATER

25. THE GRASSHOPPER SINGS ALL DAY LONG THE CATERPILLARS BECOME BUTTERFLIES

28. THE VIPER THE VIPER VERA CALM IT IS TO WHO WILL PICK IT A BITE WILL THROW!

29. BIRDS

30. We are the birds of the Murgia and we aren’t afraid of the hunger and the cold. LET’S BE STRONG AS OUR EARTH!

31. ……… .but now many of these animals are to danger of extinction, because the man is destroying their natural environment FOX REPTILES LESSER KESTREL

32. MURGIA’S ANIMALS TO DANGER OF EXINTION THE LESSER KESTREL A FRIEND OF CYTY

33. WE KNOW BETTER THE “LESSER KESTREL” TO DEFEND IT IF THE LESSER KESTREL YOU WILL PROTECT, A CULTURAL PATRIMONY YOU WILL MAINTAIN

34. THE LESSER KESTREL EATS THE CRICKETS, THE GRASSHOPPERS, THE LIZARDS, THE MICE, THE FROGS, THE REPTILES AND IT DEFENDS THE CULTIVATIONS OF THE MAN

35. ENVIRONMENT OF LIFE THE ROOF OF THE OLD HOUSES THE ROCKS OR THE TRUNKS OF THE TREES

36. THE FOX

37. PLAY

38. TESTUDO HERMANNI SIZE: Average size about 12 in, female bigger than male. HABITAT Dry or stony lands. DIET Leaves, fruits, excrementi IT’S A DYING SPECIES: LET’S DO SOMETHING!

39. ELAPHE SITULA

40. CYRTODACTYLUS

41. LET'S SAVE THE ANIMALS! THE PARK OF THE “ALTA MURGIA” HAS BEEN CREATED, IN 2004 TO PROTECT THE ANIMALS IN EXTINCTION. This is the simbol of park.

42. BIOLOGICAL CULTIVATIONS THE BIOLOGICAL CULTIVATIONS ARE VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE HEALTH OF THE MAN AND FOR THE SAFETY OF THE EARTH. MILK WHEAT OIL RAPESEED

43. THE RAPESEED THE RAPESEED IS A PLANT THAT GROWS IN PUGLIA IN THE AUTUMN AND IT GROWS IN CANADA IN THE SPRING.

44. THE ROOT THE FLOWER THE LEAF THE FRUIT RAPEOIL FROM THE RAPESEED TO THE RAPEOIL TO MAKE THE SOAP

45. TODAY WITH THE RAPESEED, THE PEOPLE MAKE THE BIODIESEL, THAT IS IMPORTANT TO HAVE A CLEAN ENVIRONMENT BECAUSE IT LEAVES LITTLE CARBONIC ANHYDRIDE DURING THE COMBUSTION. FROM THE RAPESEED TO THE BIODIESEL

46. MILK THE BIOLOGICAL MILK HELPS THE MAN BETTER TO LIVE

47. THE BREEDERS PICK UP THE MILK IT IS THEY SEND IT IN SPECIAL INDUSTRIES THE COWS GO PASTURE WHERE THEY EAT THE NATURAL FORAGE AND BIOLOGICAL.

48. THE MILK IS CHECKED AND IT HAS PUT IN THE BOTTLES WITH THE LABEL "BIOLOGICAL MILK." THE MILK IS READY TO BE BOUGHT AND DRUNK.

49. FROM THE FORAGE NATURAL TO THE BIOLOGICAL MILK TO LIVE BETTER

50. WHEAT THE WHEAT IS A PLANT TYPICAL OF PUGLIA THAT HAS NEED OF VERY SUN AND OF LITTLE WATER TO GROW. TODAY IT IS IN INCREASE THE PRODUCTION OF BIOLOGICAL WHEAT AND IT SHOWS IT THE GOODNESS OF HIS PRINCIPAL PRODUCT: THE BREAD OF ALTAMURA, THAT IS DOP.

51. FROM THE WHEAT NATURAL TO THE FLOUR BIOLOGICAL TO THE BREAD DOP OF ALTAMURA

53. THE OLIVE TREE IS A SECULAR PLANT THAT GROWS ON THE MURGIA AND IT PRODUCES THE YELLOW GOLD OF OUR EARTH: OIL OIL

54. FROM OLIVE TO OIL

55. AS THE BIOLOGICAL OIL IT IS GOOD EATEN WITH THE BREAD OF BIOLOGICAL WHEAT

56. THE ENERGY Energy is very important for the life of the man. The forms of energy are so many. Every form of energy produces different effects, but all pollute the environment and they are in exhaustion. The man, therefore, in these last years has tried to find other sources of energy and he has discovered the sources of clean energy that don't pollute the environment and they are inexhaustible: SOLAR ENERGY, WIND ENERGY, WATER ENERGY.

57. THE SOURCES OF CLEAN ENERGY SUN WATER WIND Let's use them!

58. THE SUN IS THE FIRST SOURCE OF ENERGY SOLAR ENERGY

59. The first and important source of energy is the SUN. On the earth there would not be the life without the light and the heat of the sun, because the sun heats the air, the ground and the water of our planet favoring the development of the living. the sun contains a great deal of thermal energy that can be exploited for heating the houses. the solar panels turn the solar energy into electric energy.

60. THE SUN HEATS HOUSE THE SUN ILLUMINATES ROADS

61. THE SUN IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

62. THE SUN IS THE ORIGIN OF ALL SOURCES OF ENERGY

63. If the solar energy you will use, so many things you will do For a longer time you will live if the solar energy you will use

64. Wind energy For many years the man has exploited the wind in the navigation and to make to move the shovels of the windmills. Today the man exploits the energy of the wind turning it into electric energy. On the tall metallic poles great helixes are put, they are connected to the electric turbines and they make to work the electric generators.

65. The wind energy is a clean energy that doesn't cost anything and it helps the man to live better.

66. The wind is an inexhaustible resource

67. Water energy The man has exploited, for a long time, the water to produce electric energy. The water is picked up in a lake that can be natural or artificial and course in a wide pipeline that reaches the power station. From the power station, the energy, produced by the water, arrives in the houses.

69. FROM THE POWER STATION...

70. ... TO THE HOUSES Water doesn't pollute the environment and is a renewable source
