Waste Management -

What awareness raising can do

We started our study of environmnental issues by looking at our use of resources and at our waste disposal habits and what we found out was not exactly gratifying. Not only do we use more than we need, but we also throw garbage away indiscriminately, when we could take the time and sort our trash so it can be recycled. Here is what we found out:

From now on, I will do all I can do to help saving what we can save. I thought that, maybe, people just need a “heads up” about what each and every one of us can do and how much that means to the world. After all I saw online, I sincerely hoped that one day we all would make a bit of effort to save ourselves, for that is all it takes. It`s not that hard to make a change when we work together (Sinziana Tilvan)

Till now, I haven’t realized that I use excessively some plastic objects that could be replaced by others. I have realized how much misfortune I produce for the environment and I have decided to become a more responsible consumer because it all starts with me, with my own wish of changing something, of living in a healthier world. (Denisa Fratean)

I was surprised how many interesting ways I found. I’ve decided to do some example from there, in the way to become a more responsible consumer! In conclusion, this project helped me to learn interesting things!

I learned many ways of reusing plastic and other recyclable materials. The most important thing is that I decided to become a better consumer and try to change the way in which people treat this problem (Anca Stefania Corlaci)
