GREEN ID (2)

Another video of students explaining what they do in their daily lives to keep our planet green



OUR GREEN ID: RECYCLE and REUSE

Videos of ESO 1 students introducing themselves and their green habits.The videos were the end product of a process where the students learned to talk about their and their families' recycling habits. Students studied how to recycle and what materials are recyclable, then prepared a poster and finally they presented it to the class explaining how they dispose of trash, what they do to produce less waste and how they try to make our planet greener.
