00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:20,640
At our school, Mozart UIST, at Juno, east in Alcalá de Henares, very close to Madrid,

2
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:27,640
we have joined to the ECF4Clean project, European Competence Framework for a Low Carbon Economy

3
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,239
and Sustainability through Education.

4
00:00:30,239 --> 00:00:35,460
As part of this project, various initiatives were proposed for the developer, and we would

5
00:00:35,460 --> 00:00:41,039
like to share one of them with you in this video, the planting of native trees, like

6
00:00:41,039 --> 00:00:42,939
Terra joined the planting.

7
00:00:42,939 --> 00:00:44,460
What is Life Terra?

8
00:00:44,460 --> 00:00:47,840
It is another European project that aims

9
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:52,140
to plant 500 million trees all over Europe.

10
00:00:52,140 --> 00:00:53,640
We were very lucky.

11
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:57,359
The trees were provided by the ARBA Association

12
00:00:57,359 --> 00:01:00,979
and they invited us to visit El Naso.

13
00:01:00,979 --> 00:01:02,200
What is ARBA?

14
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:06,060
It is an association for the recovery of native forests

15
00:01:06,060 --> 00:01:09,719
made up of volunteers from different professions

16
00:01:09,719 --> 00:01:15,430
preserve a common interest in plants.

17
00:01:15,430 --> 00:01:24,069
From 4th, 5th and 6th grade have participated in this project, 225 students in total have

18
00:01:24,069 --> 00:01:32,670
planted 11 native trees and strawberries such as apple tree, walnut tree, almond tree, maple,

19
00:01:32,670 --> 00:01:40,310
ash tree, rosemary, lavender and strawberry tree, which are the best adapted to the local

20
00:01:40,310 --> 00:01:47,109
climate conditions very high temperatures in summer and frost in winter we prepared the

21
00:01:47,109 --> 00:01:53,829
ground by digging the holes this was the hardest part but also the most come to do we plant the

22
00:01:53,829 --> 00:02:01,349
trees and strawberry fertilize and water them while learning many of their names that we won't

23
00:02:01,349 --> 00:02:09,189
forget with this planting we estimate that we can capture a total of 40 kilograms of co2 per year

24
00:02:09,189 --> 00:02:14,789
which is approximately the amount emitted by a car over 100 kilometers.

25
00:02:14,789 --> 00:02:19,909
In addition, with the plants, we protect the soil from erosion caused by rain and wind,

26
00:02:19,909 --> 00:02:22,310
and we create new heritage for animals.

27
00:02:22,310 --> 00:02:26,789
And what we like the most is that we will have more beautiful places

28
00:02:26,789 --> 00:02:31,990
to enjoy by taking care of them and playing with our friends in the shade.

29
00:02:31,990 --> 00:02:35,189
A gift for our future, clean air and nature!

30
00:02:35,189 --> 00:02:40,990
We would like many more children to be able to enjoy an experience like this and thus

31
00:02:40,990 --> 00:02:46,689
raise awareness about the importance of reducing CO2 and contributing to slowing down climate

32
00:02:46,689 --> 00:02:48,689
change through small actions.

33
00:02:48,689 --> 00:02:52,189
Together we plant a greener future!
