This document summarizes a student project called "Project Paper" that aimed to create awareness about reducing paper consumption. The students developed plans to educate their school, neighborhood, and homes about how cutting down trees for paper contributes to global warming and the future shortage of paper. They created posters and paper bags with reuse messages and held a school assembly presentation. This resulted in increased recycling and reduced paper waste among the 1000+ students and staff at their school. The students felt the project was a learning experience that taught them about teamwork and taking action to help the environment.Plastic mountain - a plastic awareness public art project

Dear WildED, Both classes have been fully engaged in a sustainability unit which culminated in the action plan to reduce our school's garbage. Throughout the process they have been making presentations to both staff and students to increase their motivation to fully participate in our overall goal. They have taken (WildED's) carbon footprint test and committed to at least one more action to reduce their mark on the world. They have done an amazing job and have already been recognized by the Vancouver School Board for their amazing efforts.
Once again, we thoroughly enjoyed our (WildED) program and would love to hear about your programs next year. Take care and thanks, Grade 4/5 Classroom Teachers, Queen Alexandra Elementary School, VancouverFrom Paris with Love

Mural art can take many forms and serve many purposes. It has been used in sacred contexts like Michelangelo's frescoes in the Sistine Chapel, and in secular storytelling like the murals of the Egyptian pyramids. Mural art is also a tool for social and political expression, as seen in Diego Rivera's murals depicting the Mexican Revolution. Art permeates all aspects of life from objects to technology to expressions of identity, family, community and nature. Mural art in particular helps bring art out of galleries and into daily community life, building connections between artists and residents.Wolontariat kr坦tkoterminowy ESC na Maderze
