2nd day In Nicosia


Today was all about hands on activities. We have visited the Cyprus Agro Industry Center and learnt about the concepts of sustainable and unsustainable production and consumption.  We also talked about the concept of ecological footprint and the importance of its reduction to ensure sustainable development. We saw how modern consumption patterns are related to the degradation of life systems and unsustainable development and saw how our consumption habits can contribute positively or negatively towards sustainable development.
In the afternoon we went back to the school to talk about the cultural aspects of unsustainable food habits.  This will be relevant to what is happening next Thursday (Tsiknopemti) so stay tuned!
