Last day in Greece

Now it is Friday, the 25th of January 2019. It is our final day in Greek. All of us are a little bit torn between being happy to see our families back home in Austria, but wanting to stay and see even more things all around the country. All of us had a great time and we were able to have an eye on the Greek culture. Out of this reason I feel like host families are a great opportunity when you are on a trip abroad. We were all able to see many historical and important places in Athens and outside of the city, but we also had a lot of time to spend with out host families, which we used to eat a lot and do fun things. For example a few of us went to an escape room, a few went bowling and other were even able to watch sports games of their host child. We are all very happy with the family we received and hope to stay in contact. Overall the time in Greece was amazing and we had a great time. As mentioned we would like to stay in contact with our host families, as you never know how soon it might be when we meet again. It is possible that we see each other already again in around 2 months (May 2019).

PLASTIC BAGS BAN

On 28th of December 2018, Slovenians heard some exciting news. Our government decided that all plastic bags in stores need to be paid for! This was great news because we have to start saving our planet now and not in 10 years, when it’s too late. I think it’s a great way of making people aware of how important recycling plastic bags is. Most people are already supporting complete ban of plastic bags, except the ones we use to put our fruit in because the’re necessary. But if, in the future, we will be able to find an alternative for them, we will completely ban them too.

FRIDAYS FOR FUTURE IN LJUBLJANA

On Friday, 15th of March we went to Congress Square because there was a protest against increasing of climate change, that was organised by Slovenian teenagers and young adults. The project was started by Greta Thunberg in Sweden. She stopped attending school on Fridays and she didn’t plan to come back until The Swedish Government did something about climate change and pollution. Soon her friends and other teenagers all over the world started to join her. The 15th of March 2019 was the day people from more than 100 countries gathered and protested for better future. In Ljubljana there were more than 9 thousand protesters. We interviewed a few people that attended the protest. We asked why are they here, what Planet B means to them and if they think so many people will make a difference. The questions we asked: Why are you here today? Do you think so many people will make a difference? What is Planet B to you? The answers we got: - To help accomplish certain changes a...
