On Tuesday 27 January we had the first new year's meeting with the project Big Green Footsteps. This time we wanted to give the possibility to our students to discuss and to try to see the problems, which could be seen by the adults about the pollution in Turin, the city, where our hospital is situated.

We gave them the opportunity to say where they can see the biggest problems and how to solve them. We were speaking about the energy sources and possibilities for Turin to take an energy from them. We didn't miss the topic about the atomic energy and we explained, why in Italy there are no nuclear centres. We have found all together the main sources of smog and pollution in the city, which are heating, the car factories, the position (in the valley) and also the traffic (the cars, buses, so on).

The only possible topic to solve seriously is the traffic for us. Because of this we have decided to create the advertisement "Use the bicycle!" and to try to motivate our friends, families and others to use the bicycle, the "greenest" way to get to the work/school.

EXPECT OUR ADVERTISEMENT SOON!

  • Am anxious to see your advertisement. It is not easy to change people's hearts and minds. Curious how you tackle that,
