Α few thoughts on the issue “go green-active citizen”
by Tatiana Kafandari ,
student of the 6th grade (one of the students of Aggeliki Skounaki )
Protecting the environment is a very important issue. As students of this school we can clean up our school playground and throw our rubbish into bins. As members of our family we can recycle plastic, bottles, batteries, cans and paper. As an inhabitant of a neighbourhood we can plant trees to produce more oxygen and reduce the air pollution. As a citizen of our town country and as a human being of our planet we can practice the three Rs,: recycle, reuse our old things more than once and reduce the use of things that are harmful for the environment. We must do all the above, because the Earth doesn’t belong to us ,we have just borrowed it from the future generation.

Shine your coffee pot : salt and lemon rinds to an empty coffee pot ,swirl around for a minute or two ,dump and rinse well.
Make citrus olive oil : place in a jar with oil lemon , orange rinds leave for six to eight hours .Strain into a clean jar.
