NATURE IN ESTONIA

-

Our mobility in Estonia was quite related to and quite developed in nature. Therefore, we visited Viru Bog, part of a National Park in Estonia which is Patrimony of Humanity by UNESCO. It's a very relevant place in terms of sustainability and climate change because it stores a large amount of CO2 which mustn't be released into the atmosphere.


The city also has large parks which bring fresh air and harmonious sceneries where you can relax or enjoy a walk. We visited two of these parks: Kadriorg park and Tondiraba Park to carry out a few activities using our mobile telephones and an app which showed us the route to get clues so that we could make the words which form the title of our project: Zero Waste. We composed the first word at Kadriorg and the second at Tondiraba while we were exploring the parks and their mini habitats. It was a lot of fun! And.., we learnt to follow routes.

The other schools have brought with them new enriching ideas such as growing a school garden, which will...

EESTI PANDIPAKEND: Dealing with trash

GARBAGE DISTINCTION AND PROCESSING IN ESTONIA In this post, you will learn about how the collection of trash is encouraged in Estonia by getting the user a small refund when he/she returns an empty packaging. It works. It has been noticed in other countries like Sweden, for example. The visit to this transformation factory brought a deeper understanding of what you can get from waste when it is segregated and processed adequately. We found out as well that the south of Europe is a bit behind the north in terms of collecting and processing waste. We are improving but we must speed up. Click HERE if you like to learn more.
