This lesson made us a bit friendlier to the environment. We looked aroud and realized that lots of improvements could be done by everyone.

I find this lesson specially useful for the development of a green consciousness in our students. I will try to carry it out with them next week and will tell you about its fulfilment. Thank you for such a good teaching material.
