| Description and Evaluation | |||||
| "The Bet
for the Climate” is a European educational program that aims
to inform students about the climate change, and after assuming what
this implies, to become conscious of reducing emissions of greenhouse
gases and of saving energy, and also, to demand political decisions
about this. “The Bet” shows to youth the practical tools
and desirable attitudes to contribute positively to better the relation
between society and environment. To do so your school or association
needs to enroll the program and “bet” that you can reduce
by 8% of the previous year CO2 emission. The program has teacher-guides
to follow all the requirements and succeed with the main goals! The
website has also a lot of information on climate change: links, news,
and articles. And if you have any question you can even consult on-line. In Spain in 2002, 50.000 pupils participated in this initiative! You will also find information about the schools involved, photos, experiences and so much material on the websites. |
