"Just do it!". And so did the students of some schools in Bergamo province area, tired
of the words of the adults, they set to work. To encourage their entry into the field
was the project "Energy: the capacity to act," co-sponsored by the Alchemy and LINUS
in collaboration with the Municipality of Bergamo, with the sponsorship of
Legambiente and the contribution of Fondazione Cariplo.
It is not enough to inform, but there is the need to motivate and guide the municipal
governments, schools and the public to new lifestyles. The program is aimed at
promoting good use of energy and renewable sources. Attention is paid to all citizens
but, kids always make a difference. In the schools where involved several classes of
primary and secondary levels with their families . Meetings were organized theme in
the classroom.
The children, supported by educators, thought what to improve in their school.
They explored the corridors and canteens, check windows and radiators, studying
bills and counters. And, once they found defects and solutions, they wasted no
time and have proposed simple actions: turn off the water while soaping the
hands or close the windows when the heating is on. One school has even
invented a "Lucifer" which - without arousing anxiety or concern - is a child
responsible to turn off the lights when not necessary.
But they did not stop at that. They shot video and took pictures, organized
meetings, put pen to paper to write to the head teacher, to the mayor and
citizens in general.
Everyone has set a specific path, but in all cases, students and administrators have
come into contact. Students have proposed concrete actions to improve the
school buildings from the point of view of sustainability. Some schools put
reducing flow to taps and thermostatic valves to radiators, someone asked to
lower the temperature and to replace bottled water with the bulk.
And above all their convinced companions, teachers, teaching staff and families
to change their daily routine, because everyone can and should do their part
15 schools competed for the title of the most virtuous. On the podium came in three,
Comunuovo, Zanica and Barzana, but only the last was awarded the first prize: a
supply of recycled paper for one year, USB keys (both offered by BCC Treviglio) and
the kit "Sustainable Schools" Legambiente . The award ceremony took place before
the holidays in Ca 'Matta, the Parco dei Colli di Bergamo.
