Also children in our school are open minded and very ready for this kind of projects. We are very proud how Finland is eg. clean and how we think transportation, food waste and eaven heating up the houses and we try to do our best to keep the carbon footprint as small as we can, our school is good example on how to manage all these issues and we want to share our best experiences with all the partners.
