3Rs and a clean-up


Having access to reliable information about the impact of consumption and waste generation on the environment is an essential precursor to changing one’s behaviour and daily habits surrounding these issues. For EWWR 2019, we challenge participants to educate themselves and others about waste and to put that knowledge into practice by changing their daily consumption habits in order to reduce their waste. Our theme for this year is Waste education and communication and we’ll be rallying support under the slogan Change your ways, Reduce your waste. Please use #EWWR2019 and #ReduceYourWaste to spread the word on social media.
Learn more about this year’s theme and consult our ideas for activities and thematic materials on the designated page on the EWWR website.

This week, we are having our lessons with our Assistant Teacher Vitas on the topic "Halloween". Thank you for these interesting and useful lessons. Halloween History & Origin Halloween is the one of the oldest holidays still celebrated today. It's one of the most popular holidays, second only to Christmas. While millions of people celebrate Halloween without knowing its origins and myths, the history and facts of Halloween make the holiday more fascinating. Some people view Halloween as a time for fun, putting on costumes, trick-or-treating, and having theme parties. Others view it as a time of superstitions, ghosts, goblins and evil spirits that should be avoided at all costs. As the Christian debate goes on, celebrating Halloween is a preference that is not always viewed as participating in an evil holiday. Halloween is often celebrated with no reference to pagan rituals or the occult.
