The results were obtained for each school resident, school grade average and the average school ecological footprint size, which was also expressed in a number of planets Earth that would be needed to ensure everyone, classrooms and the school needs.

School students involved in the footprint calculation, event preparation - consisted of posters and illustrated tips on how to live more sustainably.

When the results were solved School inhabitants drew their real footprint , painted that and fastened to the models of the planet Earth (globes), which has a capacity corresponding to his foot print areas. It looks like that..

We are proud that most of our pupils in the school need only a single planet Earth, in order to ensure their current standard of living! Interesting was the fact that most of the senior students had been needed for a half or even two of the planets to meet their needs.
