BEIUS, Past versus Present

-

When we visited Beius in Romania last April 2025, our team focused on analysing the differences between what life was like in the past and what it is like today and extracting conclusions to see which one is more sustainable in terms of damaging the environment.

 



In the presentation we made, you can see that today many of our daily habits are based on the use of electricity, which, of course, means using more resources and is less sustainable. In the past, you could do exactly the same as today but it meant a bit more hard work like when you washed your clothes or typed any text and it was the same in terms of travelling or communicating with others.

Our conclusion was that life was by far more sustainable in the past so we should try and find a middle way between past and present where we can meet both a solution to our needs in modern society and the preservation of resources and good natural environments where we can live.

Some of them, to name but a few, are the planting, harvesting and use of loofah, the production of soap at school, continuing with upcycling workshops, writing emails to different firms to suggest changes in the management of their containers and investigating which initiatives are developed in each participating country in terms of environmental care. 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.
