Nach dem Our Sustainable Future Award geht nun auch der Going Green Award der US-Botschaft ans LHG.
Die Jury entschied sich in diesem internationalen Wettbewerb für den Beitrag unserer Schule
und schrieb eine ausführliche Begründung, auf die der Englischkurs von Herrn Rösener sehr stolz sein kann:
Going Green Award goes to: GoingGreenTogether: One Day Without Plastic

by the English course at Louise-Henriette Gymnasium and Odyssey Charter School.
Louise-Henriette Gymnasium and Odyssey Charter School produced a video that highlights not only problems for the environment, but also gives tips to help us be green in and out of the supermarket. And the best part for us is: the video also provides a review of a well known green product. Well done!
The video starts with a series of powerful photos reminding us just how destructive plastic is to the environment. It then provides several useful ways in which we could try to use less plastic in our daily lives.
After studying the harmful repercussions of our “Throw Away Society”, the students decided to take check out what it means to make plastic free purchases.
They showed how much plastic we passively buy, but also how much less plastic we purchase when we consciously look for an alternative. The visual depiction is impressive.
One interesting find during their shopping trip led to a product review of a bamboo toothbrush. Students looked at the fine details of a green product and researched many aspects of the product: the material of the brush, the packaging, as well as the place of production. They even “brushed” on how a product we think of as a green alternative can have negative effects on the environment. At the same time, they considered the other side of the debate, the difficulty of creating a 100% green product.
It was also wonderful to read the comments in response to their video. They provide us with insight into their collaboration with their American partner school.
Two thumbs up for even responding to questions in the comment section of the video, which required further research to adequately answer.
