The United Nations introduced THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS (SDG’s) in 2015 as a global plan to reduce poverty, protect nature and enable everyone to live in peace and prosperity.
These 17 goals of sustainable development should be achieved by the year 2030. That is just 9 years from now. To achieve the goals, countries, companies, and citizens should all work together, and share the responsibility to spread the word about them.
It is therefore crucial to introduce SDGs to students as well.
In la ZER Conca, the students have already taken actions. We started with these goals by doing the activity “How you go to school …”, we discovered that we are contributing to air and noise pollution. The majority of students come to school by car instead of walking or cycling.
After taking into consideration the results, we made a decision; to use alternative transportation as much as possible (scooters, bicycles or our feet (on foot)).
By putting this action into practise, we can kill two birds with one stone, save our planet and keep fit.
