Campaigning in Malaga

We´ve choosen the most famous street in Malaga (Larios street) because there are always a lot of people there.

We started to speak with a lot of people but they always said the same: I’m so sorry but I don’t have enough time… I`m late… ( it prooves we aren`t popular :).

Finally we decided to go to a school which was nearby. There, we explained to the youngsters about our project and all of them asked us the same question: “ How Can I take part too?”

We were so excited and we spent a lot of time speaking with them. We told everything about our experience in Riga and we gave them a bottle of mineral water with the name of the blog to visit it. They claim that they want to participate in a project like this. Also we spoke about that saving water is a real big problem in our city because it’s hardly ever rains and we use a lot of water.

It was a really good experience. We’ve never had something similar in our city with other youngsters from our city.

We hope to repeat it!!

Final video clip from exchange

The exchange has ended some time ago already, but we still had not published one of our final works - the clip.

Here you can see our video clip "The child of nature" , that was made during last days of exchange - music, visual material and idea are all created by participants!

Feel free to spread this clip further!

Some facts

One day I found an article, that mentioned a new term for me -"The Global South", which basically comprises the nations of Africa, Central and Latin America, and most of Asia. There were also some interesting facts connected to our project, that made me think again.

1.1 billion people do not have access to safe drinking water2.4 billion people do not have access to adequate sanitation

The average distance that women in Africa and Asia walk to collect water is 6 KM (do you remember the game "Weight of water"??)

In developing countries, 91 children out of 1,000 die before their fifth birthday

Of the 6 billion people in today's world, 1.2 billion live below $1 per day (how much could you by for this amount in sociaety where you live right now?)

The amount of money that the richest 1% of the world's people make each day equals what the poorest 57% make each year

It made me realize, how blessed we should by having all this huge amount of things and food and water in our taps! What do you think?

Energy saving - what about you?

(scan from magazine "Advertising ideas", published in Russia. Author of ads: Alice Belmas)

Today I had to do a homework and I was looking through some advertising magazine and found this really nice ad about saving energy(take a look at it, funny isn't it?:).

We had discussions during exchange about saving water and had possibilities to come up with ways, how not to waste it.

Does anybody of you has effective and creative suggestion on how to save energy(with this I mean mostly - electricity) on daily basis?

Leave your ideas right here:)
