350.org Santa María - Guatemala


The theme of our Friday Dia del Arte last week was '350', to show our support for the worldwide event of that name taking place on 10/10/10 to promote awareness of rising C02 levels.





We introduced the lesson by explaining (with the help of some handy pictures on the board!) the damaging effects of there being too much CO2 in the atmosphere, and that the whole world needs to work together to reduce the amount to 350 parts per million, from the current figure of 392.

Across 3 classes we created various different mobiles, using the numbers 350 and pictures representing the causes of rising C02 levels and possible solutions to the problem. For more information, you can visit the 350 website at www.350.org.
