Segnali ambientali ci accompagna in un viaggio che segue il corso dell’acqua dai ghiacciai delle Alpi al permafrost dell’Artico al delta del Gange. Visitiamo luoghi familiari e remoti, esaminando come si possano ricostruire le relazioni con gli elementi essenziali della vita quotidiana: l’acqua, il suolo, l’aria e gli animali e le piante che insieme formano la trama della vita sulla Terra.
Sul web è disponibile molto materiale per parlare di cambiamenti climatici nelle scuole.

Today’s teenagers are likely to experience the effects of climate change much more than we do today-and they will be forced to address the issue. It’s important that we familiarise them with what we know today so they become aware of the causes of climate change and understand what they can do to change it.
European Commissioner for Environment Stavros Dimas is calling upon teachers like you across the European Union to discuss climate change in class and encourage your pupils to sign the pledge to reduce their CO2 emissions.
This website provides some actions taken for a climate-friendly environment and gives information mostly about the wind energy. Documents from different studies can be downloaded.
