Earth Day 2019

It is  Earth  Day today and we are working online to focus on the issue which needs to be  taught among our   learners.

         #EarthDay2019 🌍 Our earth is precious.

Hundreds of EU-funded #ErasmusPlus projects have united people across borders, countries, cultures around environmental issues. Read about some of them here 👇https://t.co/MIEFA9T45u pic.twitter.com/kkKf8bb43f

Happy #EarthDay! In the 1970s Charles Schulz began to address environmental issues more directly in Peanuts. In this strip from April 22, 1975, Woodstock upcycles the crumpled paper discarded from Snoopy’s typewriter. The original strip is currently on view in #WithoutWords. pic.twitter.com/sjJlVL9Qik

Online I could see a lot of interesting tasks and ideas to be shared among  educators.
On Twitter I found this  weblink    https://www.dictionary.com/e/new-words-surrounding-climate-change/   which is related to the way we  teach the language about climate change. You should all check it.

Tonight I was online and I could see a webinar shared by an E-Twinning Group and the speaker provided this interesting  link

The protests of the young on Friday have prepared this day : Greta  Thunberg  has  made a great campaign to present the issue

"We will never stop fighting for this planet."

Hopefully her voice is not alone, we have many more  people, they are  young and older people who care and are engaged in this campaign: social media are also presenting the many voices  of the  ones who really want to stop the destruction of the environment.

I personally feel that it is our great challenge to protect our world, the Earth and I am going to discuss the issue with my learners to promote  a  healthier way of  living and to teach them about their responsabilities. Together we can!
