The 6th mass extinction of species is accelerating: 1 plant or animal species disappears every 20 minutes. A truckload of plastic waste is dumped into the ocean every minute and 90% of seabirds have fragments of plastic waste in their stomachs.
We are convinced that young people are the main lever for change in the ecological transition: 91% of parents make their purchasing decisions based on their children and 1 in 2 parents takes their children's opinions into account in their ecological behavior.

Solution
For all these reasons, GreenMinded has developed Les GreenMakers: an environmental education program for students from first grade through senior year, offered in participating schools throughout France.
It consists of an initial theoretical and participatory awareness-raising session on zero waste or biodiversity, followed by a hands-on, fun workshop. Schools in priority education zones (REP(+)) are the primary target.
Practical workshops include: hives for solitary bees, seed bombs for honey plants, suet balls for birds, composting, earth-and-straw construction, waste sorting techniques, and litter cleanups, among others.

Why we love it?
GreenMinded has set itself the challenge of raising awareness of ecological practices among the very young in order to change the behavior of older people. We applaud the originality of this project, which relies on the commitment of the new generation!
