About Me

Portugal
I am from Coimbra, Portugal, and am currently teaching in a school in Soure, about 30 km away from Coimbra. I have been a teacher of English for over 20 years and have already taught different levels and age groups. After all this time I can say I love working with adult groups because there are no coursebooks and I can create my own resources. I am an avid reader, a blogger and very curious about free tools and their implementation in the classroom.

COP15

I just can't resist posting!!! I told you so... this time to express my disappointment towards the failure of Copenhagen climate deal.
What a frustrating summit without a legally binding treaty! So much expectation, so many speeches and truths (remember Venezualan president Hugo Chavez speaking at the UN climate talks "If the climate was a bank, (the United States) would already have saved it") but no progresses at all. According to many, not because of the USA but because of China...
Here is a clip by Quercus I find quite appropriate:



Ya, just think about it - not later, not in 2010 but RIGHT NOW!

I'd really like to comment on this post. Unfortunatelly, I can't... I'm speechless. This is the kind of thing that really moves me.
Thank you, Alexandra, for reminding us of the consequences of our actions!

A shocking video!! Our politicians are incredbly irresponsible. They should think it over seriously and take effective meausures before it's too late!
However, I believe that each of us can make a little but valuable contribution.

No words, right? How can we teach our kids to think and worry about the environment, when world leaders / politicians don't set the example???
