Theme 5 (Environment) - summary


And once again Ania prepared a summary of another theme which we talked about in our project. 

 

Theme five – Environment

            Some of us dreamt of becoming a famous TV presenter in childhood. We wanted to be one of the faces who say ‘Hello there’ just like a weather forecaster on BBC ;) Well… Comenius students had a chance to become someone like that lately. They had to make a film about the environment. They could chose any form of making the film. The basic thing which had to be common for every group was to tell us how to protect the environment nowadays. How to do our best! One of the groups decided to make an interview.
At the beginning of the film one of the students made a short introduction. Right after that we could see Aneta talking to Mr Waluga who works in the local wastewater plant. They were talking generously about the protection of the environment but also about the functioning of the plant. The pollution is increasing nowadays so it’s important to know how we can reduce it. The knowledge of how the wastewater plant works is really important, too.
While watching the film we could hear many difficult terms such as: neutralize the municipal waste, use the active sludge method, eliminate the compounds of carbon, phosphorus, and suspension, etc. But don’t worry! Everything was explained later on ;) Mr Waluga also told us something about his own environment protection. Especially when he was our age. He told us about ‘Earth days’ when he and his school friends were cleaning streets from litter, when they were searching for rubbish etc. They did it instead of classes, one day a year.



After he told us about his methods of protecting the environment nowadays and in the past, we were able to compare them with our own methods. We could see some similarities and a few differences. We’re sure that today we are definitely more aware of the problem of pollution and that’s why we want to reduce it more than in the past. We have to take care of the place where we live. Earth is the only one. There’s no other place like this. And that is why we have to put an effort to keep it clean! ;)
