Students:Agnieszka Buchtová: Difference between revisions

The two most inspiring things I´ve learnt during this amazing field trip was the idea of reusing landfills to make energy of the gaz that they produce and involving students in agriculture.I´d like to speak about the second one.

Baukhof farm we visited on the third day was an amazing place that engages whole community to their system of production. They are open on help of local people and every year they welcome students from allied schools to spend two weeks on the farm and work with the soil and animals.

I feel that today´s youth in Czech republic slowly lose their connection with agriculture. Youndg people have no experience with farming, they don´t know where meat and milk comes from and thy do not care about quality of the food and well fare of animals.

There used to be obligatory part-time jobs in agriculture during the communism epoch when students, children and even adults had to help with harvesting or collecting leef beetles. Many of them hated this obligatory work but there´s no doubt that they at least got an experience of hard work and argiculture system.

wildlife, they will probably make efforts to lead more sustainable life. And tahat´s what wee need. We need new technologies and zero energy houses and green energies but the thing we need most are people who want to use it and who will support green politics and modest living.

I´d like to say big thanks to Dana and Andrew for organising this trip, for being so good and patient to us and helping to create such a good bunch. The trip was very well organised ad the only thing I missed a bit was repeating of the first evening when we all gathered after the dinner and had a semi-seroius semi-friendly talk about our opinions and ideas.
