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.

5th June, World Environment Day

Celebrated for the first time in 1973, World Environment Day (WED), takes place every 5th June to raise global awareness to protect planet Earth. However, there is a different theme each year. Can you infer this year's theme?



"Think Eat Save: Reduce your Foodprint" - that's this year's theme and call on all of us.
Especially now that times are hard with so many unemployed people, this call should definitely be heard just like Food Banking. Food Banking fights Hunger, reduces Food waste and helps the Environment by not increasing landfill areas and not releasing so much methane gas.
Talking about the environment and landfills, let me share with you this inspiring example from Paraguay that everything is possible where there's a will!


Happy World Environment Day!!!
