Study on Carbon Footprint – An international collaborative project
Humans have been destroying planet Earth simply with their daily activities. The latest environmental catastrophes – stronger tornadoes, lethal hurricanes and typhoons, heat waves, droughts and floods – can be faced as natural warnings. Despite some skeptics, these have become hotspot issues since the population is more concerned about the evolution and consequences of the planet’s destruction. By calculating our environmental footprint, environmentalists believe it might be easier for us to become more aware of our impact and therefore control or reduce it. Students from Portugal and Turkey have been involving their school mates and families in measuring their carbon footprint.

Descartar o futuro – A nova ameaça ao ambiente / Flushing the future The new threat to the environment: the wet wipes
Com a expansão baseada na economia do consumismo, na cultura de usar e deitar fora e os grandes avanços técnicos registados em todos os âmbitos, as pessoas ávidas de “coisas” deram asas à velha máxima “longe dos olhos… longe do coração”. Esta forma de consumir e descartar começa a ter proporções dantescas e a gerar um gravíssimo impacto no ambiente. Não questionando o impacto de pequenos gestos, o uso fácil e generalizado tornou as toalhitas um dos produtos modernos mais utilizados. Existe no mercado uma variedade enorme deste produto: para bebé, desmaquilhantes, de limpeza doméstica, para animais… São efetivamente úteis, práticas e de fácil utilização. O problema é que as pessoas desconhecem a forma correta de as deitar fora.
