The effort of each individual is important
Blog by Alexandros, student at University of Athens, Greece
Taking part in the "Student Switch Off" program was something more than an activity of environmental awareness for me. Despite the fact that I have learned easy ways to save energy in my everyday life, I have also become a member of a group which connects young people in Europe, who are highly informed on environmental issues. Saving energy and learning, became an activity which can also be fun. For instance, through simple actions such as photography competitions, quizzes, workshops etc we all have learned that the effort of each individual is important, because the impact even of the smallest action, in energy saving is much more valuable than I ever expected!
So suddenly, I felt less pessimistic about the future of our planet, than before. All in all, by participating in a team with such purposes, not only gives more knowledge, but also gives hope.
