2. AIM: • Development of ecological sensitivity among children and adults Participants: 100 children, parents, nursery school teachers,trainee teachers were involved in the project.

3. THE PROJECT THESIS: • „Ecological sensitivity is mostly, not to say above all, a part of social awareness.” “(…) all environmentalists’ visions (and not only theirs) shall remain childish fantasies unless they are followed by the changes in the awareness of society . Since being ecological not only means sensing with all other living organisms (…) but also day-to-day behaviour impossible without social awareness.” http://www.zb.eco.pl/bzb/35/wyklad09.htm

The children count the cans they bring to school – they keep the record of the number of brought cans. • The coordinator of the projects collects the money for the cans and uses them to buy prizes for persistence and pro-ecological activities but also to buy books on pro-ecological issues. • Last year winner – a girl named Hania brought over 2000 cans.
