Stage+III+-+Environment

=Activities= toc During this part of the project we wanted to show how the environment is affected by human use (agriculture, industry) and what can be done to minimize negative effects on the environment. The students take water, soil and air samples from their regional surroundings. They analyze the quality of the samples. If pollution is found they try to identify the reasons for it. Furthermore, the students try to find solutions in order to avoid these types of pollution. Another aspect of this stage will be the negative side effects of the production of energy. Especially the need for land, which is necessary to construct power plants will be an issue. The conent of this stage will be discussed at the 4th meeting in Lithuania.

For the meeting it is proposed by the hosts in Lithuania that all the partners bring:
1. A presentation about air pollution in each country (10 min.): use the material we have about pollution, and reveal each country's policy towards this issue.
