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.

What should we do with this waste?
No âmbito do Programa Eco-Escolas e “Young Reporters for the Environment” (YRE), foi realizado o vídeo seguinte, o qual resultou de um trabalho conjunto da EB 2,3 de Paço de Sousa e do Athens College Elementary School.
Esse vídeo vai de encontro aos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável das Nações Unidas, mais concretamente ao objetivo 11, “cidades e comunidades sustentáveis” e aborda a problemática dos resíduos, apelando à sua separação para posterior reciclagem .

Climate change and the Oceans
Climate change is a problem that affects our planet everyday more. Large emissions into the atmosphere of gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and chlorofluorocarbons from burning fossil fuels, deforestation and livestock, in particular increase the greenhouse effect and the temperature of the earth, which is increasingly higher. These consequences are also reflected in ocean waters, increasing their temperature, causing acidification of the marine environment and changing precipitation patterns, leading to the loss of marine biodiversity. Global warming is REAL … “We have to act now … We have to protect and defend our Planet … our Home”

Wasp Velutina: A Lost Battle?
In 2019 in the northern area of Portugal (not only in Portugal) the situation of the Velutian wasps is uncontrolled, creating pressure on biodiversity and to its ecosystems and According to one of the responsible for the creation of the SOS VESPAS platform the battle fought to contain the advance of the Velutina wasps lacks awareness on the part of the political power. The Vespa Vellutina is a major predator of bees and questioning the economic viability of beekeeping as well as the pollination of the flowers that sustain agriculture, is an alarming issue for all of us.
