Challenge
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: a environmental education program, from CP to Terminale, delivered in volunteer schools across France.
It consists of an initial theoretical and participative awareness-raising period on zero waste or biodiversity, followed by a practical, fun workshop. Among the practical workshops: beehives for solitary bees, melliferous flower seed bombs, grease balls for birds, composting, straw earth construction, sorting gestures, waste collection, etc.

The amounts raised will cover travel and mission expenses, personnel costs as well as supplies for workshops conducted in schools.
Goal
GreenMinded hopes to reach 15,000 students over the course of the program.

[MAY-JUNE REVIEW] 2,600 pupils made aware of Zero Waste! 💪
[#GREENMAKERS: SENSIBILISATION SCOLAIRE ZÉRO-DÉCHET]
In May/June, we are very proud to have been able to intervene free of charge in 113 classes (in 6 different départements) to raise awareness among the youngest about plastic pollution and #zérodéchet 😊
Many thanks to all our supporters on Captain Cause, who make these actions possible for the schools, and to everyone.To all our volunteers and trainees 🥰
👉 See you next fall for the rest of the program! We wish you all a wonderful summer 🙂
🥰 A drawing by Carlita of our mascot Greenie after our zero waste intervention in her classroom!Over the past 3 months, we've alerted 1,825 students to the problem of plastic pollution, then offered them zero-waste solutions!
🌿 Over the past 3 months, 73 classesfrom CP to Terminale in public schools have been taught about zero-waste free of charge by 19 volunteer organizers in the following departments: Paris (75), Hauts-de-Seine (92), Seine-et-Marne (77), Isère (38), Hérault (34), Bouches-du-Rhône (12), Bas-Rhin (67) and Haute-Savoie (74250).
Thank you so much for your support! It means a lot.
It's thanks to you that we can offer these interventions free of charge. 😇
As a reminder, with €100, we can raise awareness in a class of 25 students on average!
The environmental education program The GreenMakers continues to develop well, while its nationwide rollout is still very much in its infancy (back to school year 2022).
We're full of hope and excitement for what's to come :)
