Spectacular World Map

In the website "Breathing Earth" you will be able to access to very interesting data from all the world, such as the CO2 emissions and the birth and dead rates.

For that, you just need to put the mouse over the different countries. In this way, you can see what is the reality of your own country and also the other's.

National eTwinning competition

On May 22, 2009 13 members of the Hungarian ClimaSOS team travelled to Budapest. Each participating team had 30 minutes to report on their project. Among other things, we spoke about the Calendar, the Dictionary, "From Pillow to Pillow", the ClimaSOS website, the publicity spots, the Twinspace, our blog and the ClimaWeek in March 2009. And of course we mentioned the visits and project meetings.

Eventually, in the secondary school category Kölcsey Gimnázium became first.

I consider this as the recognition of the two-year work, and I think of this prize as the recognition of each participating school.

CLIMA SOS ALERT

To talk about environmental change is to talk about water too...



Earth Water...the water that we all should drink...

In Portugal, started this week a solidarity project called Earth Water.

Earth Water is the only product in the world recognised by the High-Comissioner of the United Nations to the Refugies (ACNUR), reverting its profits to a program that helps the ones that have no water.
This bottle only costs 59 cents and it can be read in the label that it offers 100% of its world profits to the ACNUR's project, presenting in the end the slogan:
"The Water that worths Water".

Currently, there are 6 thousand people in the world per day that die because of the lack of water. With 4 cents the ACNUR can give water to a refugie for one day...
