From nursery to sixth form: the first half of the school year was filled with our educational programme. Whether individual lessons, visits to nurseries, clean-up activities, project weeks or our sustainability working group – it was a diverse and inspiring period.
We are repeatedly impressed by the attentiveness and openness with which the pupils participate. Many schools are already adopting outstanding initiatives: second-hand clothing and swap shops are highly popular, and numerous – including very young – individuals are making a conscious decision to adopt a diet free from fish and meat. Empathy and the desire for species conservation are frequently the central motivations.
Discussions on consumer behavior, particularly regarding plastics, are also an integral part of our visits. In doing so, we collectively cast a critical eye on what we often refer to as the "easy ride of recent years" – our historical handling of resources.
A shift is underway!
We are impressed by the next generation – by their awareness, their determination and their ideas. The will for change is present – and that offers hope.
