4th grade schoolchildren of school N 154 wrote essays on the topic
“if I were a nature protection minister.”
They pictured our planet with dark colors- dead animals, death, cut
trees. In tomorrow’s planet they wrote about green environment with
lots of flowers and children playing in green zones. They called in
their essays not to cut trees and protect the nature.
During the meeting in Orhus center, Margarita KHACHATRYAN, teacher
of biology from the same schools said that one of the students even
wrote in the essay that he would plant gardens out of town and would
not allow the adults to go there. To the question why he would do so,
he answered, “adults only damage the environment.”
The programs are initiated within the World day on Environment
Protection. OSCE has organized courses at schools and distributed
leaflets on environment on the occasion. “Children must be educated to
love nature without which a human being cannot live,” OSCE Ambassador
Vladimir Priakhin said.
Children are also interested in the sale of genetically modified food,
particularly of Turkish origin. Amalia Hambarzumyan, head of Khazer
non-profit organization, advised the children not to buy food which
is labeled genetically modified.
