One single seed will destroy your ecosystem
Two distant countries, yet there are so many similarities, like cultural or linguistic ones, between Portugal and Romania. Environmental issues, unfortunately, do not escape from these resemblances. The invasion of alien species (IAS) in both countries is something that we are used to seeing and the consequences are often the same, changing all the surrounding ecosystem and in the near future, possibly destroying it. All of this is being verified in the invasion and substitution of autochthonous species that, after their arrival, take advantage of the climate change in that country.

Next stop OCEAN
As beatas são um dos itens mais encontrados nas praias, em grande parte transportadas pela água da chuva, que as arrasta até aos bueiros e, daí, as leva diretamente para os cursos de água e oceanos.
Impõe-se uma mudança radical de hábitos: quando um cigarro chega ao fim, quem o fumou tem de depositar a beata no local adequado e não no chão.
Para fazer esta fotografia, fizemos uma paragem de autocarro original e utilizamos duas beatas com pernas e braços formados com palitos. A fotografia foi tirada num bueiro no parque de estacionamento da nossa escola. Para fazer os bonecos e tirar a fotografia, tivemos a ajuda dos nossos professores de Geografia e Cidadania e Desenvolvimento e de outros professores da escola. Este foi um trabalho muito divertido de fazer, desde a ideia inicial, durante uma aula, até à construção dos bonecos.

Small gestures that make a difference! It is up to each of us to help our planet.
When I catch a small plastic in the river, I prevent it from reaching the sea …
I will not tell the story about the photography, but a story that I read and marked me.
A great fire had begun in the forest. The animals fled frightened, shielding themselves from that hell. But a little bird, boldly decided to do something to prevent that horror: with his little beak, he decided to get water from the river and lie in the flames, trying to put out the fire.
The other animals told him it was not worth it, laughing at his attitude.
The little bird without hesitation replied:
-Does not matter. I’m just doing my part!

Free yourself!
The plastic has become a reality in our daily lives, becoming part of us, at the point of suffocating the seas, the air and even the animals that are the basis of our food. More than 400 million tons of plastics are produced per year and over the last 10 years we have produced more plastic than in the last 100 years and only 9% of the plastic is recycled. Every minute is produced 10 million plastic bags. The plastic is increasing so much that in the next half century, the oceans will contain more plastic than fish.
