The status of our environment is getting worse and worse!

 Don’t you think our environment is in big trouble? Because I do! There is this

huge hole in the ozone layer which has to close again for example. But this only

works if we finally decide to do something for it. Planting trees would be

optimal. But this hole isn’t our only problem. There are many other problems

like the pollution of oceans and seas. Many fishes are dying because of that.

But the list of bad things doesn’t stop here. There are many other disasters we

have to do something about as well.

To fix those things we need every help we can get. So why don’t you or your

school contribute something good for the environment? For example, by going

to demonstrations. Starting an environmental-protection school project would

also be a great idea. There are many other options to do something good for

nature as long as something changes. Even if you only start separating waste.

But to start helping the environment people have to know what they can do

about it. Therefore, it would be great if something like “environmental

education” would become a school subject where young students learn what

they can do about these crises. It would only cost them one or two more hours

of school every week and the environment will get an enormous advantage.

So why don’t you start supporting the nature today? Grab your friends or

parents and you are good to go. If you are already doing good things, comment

them down below! I’m already looking forward to your response!

  1. Hey Nico F.,
    I'm really inspired by your blog post!
    There is no doubt that we have to do something to save the environment. You wrote that it would be an idea to plant trees, which is totally right at all, but in my opinion it would be more helpful to stop cutting down whole rainforests. Just when this dilemma would come to an end, planting trees would have sense.
    I totally agree with you that we should grab our friends and start saving the environment today, and not tomorrow. Therefore, going to demonstrations would be a good idea, to show the government that we are caring about our future.
    I find it very important to talk about these topics in public, thank you for that!
    Wish you all the best!

  2. Dear Nico F.,
    I want to thank you that you have written and published this text here. I want to congratulate you for this well written text. You mentioned a lot of current issues which are threatening our environment and consequently also our future. I share your opinion that it would be really cool if schools would integrate a new subject like environmental education. Everyone can contribute something in the fight against climate change. So why don't schools and other educational institutions join it. To solve this enormous problme we all have to work together.

The gaps that we need to fill

  I presume that I need not introduce anyone to COVID-19 . It is the reason why you cannot see your friends and also why you can wake up at 9 am on weekdays. And this is precisely the premise of today's blog post. How did the lack of regular lessons influence us, and did we indeed waste a year of education?  We are not going to lie to ourselves:  this school year has been extremely overwhelming . The back and forth between going to school and switching to distant learning left not only me but a lot of others very confused. Until November we were all together as a class, and then we had to shift to online education. After that, it was just a mix of online lessons and  class attendance, with only half of the students present.  Nonetheless, I can tell from my own experience that when it comes to new skills, this year has been very productive. I think that the most important one is becoming  a more independent learner. It is difficult for teachers to check on t...

Covid – A student’s dream or educational disaster?

  As we surely all have understood by now the past year has been drastically different due to the global pandemic, for adults as well as for students. In this blog post I will show you the viewpoint of an affected student from Austria. First of all, schools only partially closed down. For the most time online classes were held, then when things got better the government decided to switch to a system with half of the students physically going to school every other day. Unfortunately, this led to more covid-cases, resulting in a back and forth between online classes and “real” classes. One of the major differences was in the amount of work that we got assigned. Not only were the teachers much more generous with homework but as a student I had a lot more time to manage, and efficiently do, all the tasks. This might seem like a big advantage for everyone, but the actual online meetings were much more stressful than I could’ve ever imagined. Over time, however, things changed. Teachers ...
