Hello everyone,
I wanted to take a moment to discuss the critical importance of addressing climate change. This is a topic that affects every one of us, regardless of where we live or what we do. Here are a few key reasons why climate change is such an essential issue:
- Environmental Impact: Climate change leads to severe environmental consequences, such as more frequent and intense natural disasters (hurricanes, wildfires, floods), loss of biodiversity, and disruption of ecosystems. These changes threaten wildlife habitats and can lead to the extinction of species.
- Human Health: Rising temperatures and changing weather patterns can lead to health issues. Heatwaves can cause heat strokes and dehydration, while changing climates can expand the range of vector-borne diseases like malaria and dengue fever. Additionally, poor air quality due to increased pollution and wildfires can exacerbate respiratory conditions.
- Economic Consequences: The economic impact of climate change is vast. Natural disasters destroy infrastructure, homes, and businesses, leading to significant financial losses. Agriculture is heavily affected, with changing weather patterns disrupting crop yields and food supply, causing prices to rise and impacting global food security.
- Social and Political Stability: Climate change can exacerbate social inequalities and lead to increased migration as people flee from uninhabitable regions. This can cause tension and conflict over resources and strain on infrastructure in areas that receive large numbers of climate refugees.
- Moral Responsibility: We have a moral obligation to protect our planet for future generations. This means taking steps to reduce our carbon footprint, supporting sustainable practices, and advocating for policies that address climate change.
Addressing climate change requires collective action and commitment from individuals, businesses, and governments worldwide. By working together, we can mitigate its effects and build a more sustainable and resilient future for all.
I look forward to hearing your thoughts and ideas on how we can contribute to this vital cause.
Good morning everyone, I am from Spain. I don’t know if you know but a little more than a month ago in Valencia there were torrential rains that made the river overflowed in a huge way: it took a bridge, burst a dam, dragged cars, trucks, trees, animals and people. Unfortunately, 222 people died. The tragedy was devastating. My question is, will these extreme phenomena continue to happen? Are they due to climate change? I know that in this area of Valencia there have always been floods but we have never seen anything like this. Houses, premises, garages, businesses, have been totally destroyed. The recovery is going to be long and costly. It will affect the economy of the country and of course all the families in the affected areas. At the environmental level I don’t know what it will mean, but I have seen in the news that the crops are completely devastated. Is there any way to avoid this in the future? What are the policies we should follow to avoid this kind of events? Is it inevitable or is there really a solution that we can create together to stop climate change? I, personally, am afraid and I don’t know if there is any way to stop this.
yesterday we cleaned the port of Riposto a small city in Sicily.
the cleaning we made yesterday could be a way to make us think about the problem of pollutionGood morning! Yesterday, I went with my class and some Spanish friends to clean the seaside. This experience, promoted by the Erasmus project, is very important for the protection of the environment and also for socializing with others. Climate change is a phenomenon that must be fought.
yesterday i went to clean the seaside with my class.
This activity,promoted by erasmus,is very important for the environment healt.
During this experience i had fun and I learned new things.Climate change is more than an environmental crisis—it’s an economic, social, and moral one. It disrupts economies, forces people to leave their homes, and challenges global stability. While it’s a huge problem, solutions are within reach if we all work together.
For example, governments could introduce stricter carbon taxes or invest in renewable energy to reduce emissions. Industries can adopt sustainable practices like reducing waste and switching to eco-friendly materials. On a smaller scale, individuals can do things like using less plastic, conserving energy, or participating in community initiatives.
Yesterday, my class and I did a beach cleanup, and it really showed how small actions can add up. We collected so much plastic and trash—it was shocking to see how much ends up in the sea. It made me realize that while big changes are needed, even something as simple as picking up trash or reducing single-use plastics can make a difference. Change starts with us, but it grows when we inspire others to act too.
The ERASMUS experience made me feel deeply connected to nature, aware of our shared responsibility to protect it, and hopeful about the power of collaboration. Working side by side with people from different countries gave me a profound sense of hope and unity
I particularly loved seeing Italian and Spanish students sharing stories, ideas and enjoying this experience! I do really think that it is a good way to motivate everyone to reduce waste and follow the correct waste sorting process.
I am going to organise other activities like that. I think that it will change my students’attitude. They do something useful and the enjoy doing it. I will do a competition..who collects the highest amount of rubbish wins an 🍨
Talking about climate change at school is very important because by understanding climate issues early, students are encouraged to adopt sustainable habits and contribute to global efforts to combat climate change and save our planet.
Talking about climate change in school is important because it learns you what to do to avoid worsening of the climate change. Talking about it makes us understand how our planet is changing and the fact that we are the cause of it. the humans were supposed to make the planet a better place, but with the pollution it is only getting worse. It is important to do something for the planet because the Earth is our only home, and the health of its ecosystems directly impacts our life.
Talking about climate change in schools is essential because young people need to be informed and prepared to face one of the greatest challenges of our time. Schools play a key role in shaping critical thinking and fostering a sense of responsibility toward the planet. Understanding the causes and effects of climate change also enables students to envision solutions and take action for a more sustainable future. Each of us has an important role to play: even small actions can make a difference. We can reduce waste, avoid single-use plastics, choose sustainable modes of transportation, or support environmentally friendly practices. When adopted by many, these actions create a significant positive impact. Acting for the planet is not just a responsibility—it is a way to build a fairer and more livable world for everyone.
In my opinion climate change is a big issue for all of us. We should talk about it more, especially in the schools where there is children and teens who are the future and who need a better world. Maybe by activities like cleaning beaches or roads.
i think that it’s important to speak about climate change because our environment deserves better. First of all if we speak more about climate change more people will be conscious about the risk that it is to our environment and in this way more people will do something to preserve it. The most important thing we can do is recycle and leave places cleaned.
I teach high school students at St. Stanislav’s Institution in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Recently, 50 of them took part in a lesson on topic The Cost of Fast Fashion. Here are some of the most interesting reflections and posts from the students about the topic:
– It seems to me that fast fashion wastes water, money, and therefore generates a lot of waste.
– The topic seems to be too present everywhere, and when I have to make a decision about something we talked about, I prefer to choose what suits me better, even though it’s not sustainable.
– We need to talk about this, but I doubt we can make much of a difference on our own; systemic changes at the state level are necessary.
– Fashion pollutes water, which some people in underdeveloped countries drink or use to water rice, for example.
– Companies like Shein exploit people who work long hours for very little money.
– People should buy sustainably, and the state should support this more.
– I believe it’s more environmentally friendly to buy quality and sustainable clothing for more money, which we can use for a longer time.
– For items we use every day for a long time, it’s worth buying good quality, even if it’s a bit more expensive. For some things, it’s not worth it.
– I think it’s good that the number of second-hand shops is increasing because people are buying pre-made clothes more. However, I’m bothered by the prices since they’re high.
– The discussion seemed interesting to me. Many different opinions came up.
– The problem is that from elementary school onward, we hear about the “green transition” in Europe, while Asia continues to rely on coal power plants and heavy mining.
– Fast fashion is an entirely unnecessary thing that only harms our planet.
