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!

Challenge

Sensibilization

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.
