PURPOSE
According to worldwide experts; Climate on Earth is changing caused mainly by Deforestation, CO2 Emissions, un-recycled waste, Consumed Energy and Pollution.
The United Nations (COPENHAGEN 2010) are calling World Leaders to work out a new climate deal and World Citizens to respect the environment by planting trees, reducing, CO 2 emissions, recycling, consuming differently, saving water.
For this purpose and in line with its environmental campaign BankMed is launching a school/student competition to increase awareness among students and create a new environmental responsibility among the Lebanese Youth.
THE GREENEST SCHOOL COMPETITION
Under the theme: "REDUCING THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF THE SCHOOL"; participants must make concrete efforts towards reducing the environmental impact of their school during the whole period of the competition using these activities as the beginning of a long term commitment.
Schools will be selected: Based on the schools concrete efforts, and undertaken projects to improve the school's environment. Schools must submit a report of the school's actions to save energy, reduce waste, prevent deforestation and on the methods applied to raise awareness among students (Does the school encourage students to a green behavior? Does the school explain the dangers of global warming, deforestation? Does the school recycle? Does the school save energy? Does the school plant trees? Does the school teach the values and importance of our cultural heritage).
