Green Life Fair |
---|
It was a great week, not only because in La Paz we had a great weather, but also because a very interesting fair was organized at my university. The fair was called "Green Life" and its slogan was "Rethink, Reuse, Recycle". From May 16th to May 17th students and all interested people had the opportunity to buy recycled items, to learn lots of things about recycling, and taking care of the environment and to take their old electronic devices to the fair and let them at a stand of a very particular business called "RAEE Recicla". This business collects electronic devices in order to get them recycled. Prior to the event, the organizers, PETAS Green (which is a student environmental program at my university), asked students and professors to bring books, toys, etc. in good shape and give them to the team in order to sell them, making those !--object--'s really affordable, promoting the reuse of a great variety of things. Also, the organizers invited some environmental organizations that work on recycling to exhibit their work and activities during the fair. About five organizations exhibited their work. It was very interesting to see how many things can be recycled and transformed to very useful products. Furthermore, two businesses had a space to exhibit their CSR programs related to the environment and to explain how they promote and contribute to the environment. Also, their campaigns were presented. The first one was about handwashing, aiming to raise awareness among kids and student about the importance of handwashing and the correct way of doing it to prevent illnesses and to save water. The second one was about endangered animals and the importance to protect them and the importance of biodiversity. In short, it was a very interesting fair. Students, professors and other people attended the fair and enjoyed all the activities that took place during the event. This kind of events permits us to learn how to recycle, how to reuse some !--object--s, how to use water wisely, how we can contribute to the protection of the environment and also, permit us to rethink our way of living. This kind of events definitely contributes to achieve a greener life. |
