Did you know that one plastic bottle decays approximately 500 years? During this time it can release harmful substances into the environment, polluting the soil and water. This is why it is important to avoid single-use plastic and promote recycling.
Did you know that with three recycled aluminium cans can be made oeyeglasses rights? Recycling aluminium not only saves raw materials, but also significantly reduces energy consumption. As a result, everyday objects can be produced in a more sustainable manner.
Did you know that producing 1 tons of paper requires cutting down to 17 trees? This shows how important it is to save paper and use recycling. By protecting trees, we not only support biodiversity, but also the fight against climate change.

Did you know that number of disasters natural associated with extreme weather conditions, such as floods, hurricanes or droughts, increases with global warming? Increasing temperatures are leading to climate destabilisation, which in turn increases the frequency and intensity of these phenomena. This is a threat that affects millions of people around the world.
Did you know that plants have the capacity to absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmospherewhat helps to reduce the greenhouse effect? Therefore, forest protection and afforestation are key actions in the fight against climate change. Forests act as natural 'sinks' for CO2, stabilising the climate and supporting biodiversity.
Did you know that climate change affect the distribution of plant and animal species, which can lead to extinctions some species? As environmental conditions change, some species are unable to adapt to new realities, threatening their survival. Protecting the environment is therefore crucial to maintaining biodiversity.

Did you know that air can carry Fungal spores, viruses, bacteria and toxic substances that can affect human health? These microscopic particles can enter our respiratory system, causing infections, allergies and other health problems. That is why air qualitythat we breathe is crucial to our health.
Did you know that smog, a mixture of air pollutants, causes numerous health problemssuch as breathing difficulties, respiratory diseases and allergies? Long-term exposure to smog can lead to serious health conditions, including COPD, and increase the risk of heart disease and cancer. In cities with high levels of pollution, smog is a real health risk.
Did you know that carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere is a major cause of global warming and climate change? Rising CO2 levels exacerbate the greenhouse effect, causing temperatures on Earth to rise. This leads to melting glaciers, rising sea levels and an increase in extreme weather events such as heat waves and hurricanes.

Did you know that fresh water accounts for only about 2.5 per cent Earth's water resources? Most of it is stored in glaciers and groundwaterand only a small part is found in surface waters such as rivers and lakes.
Did you know that water has an amazing ability to absorb heatWhat makes it an excellent regulator of the Earth's temperature? Thanks to this, the oceans and lakes help stabilise the climate, absorbing and releasing heat, which mitigates temperature extremes across the globe.
Did you know that water is the only substance on Earth that occurs naturally in three states of aggregation: liquid, gaseous and solid? This unique phenomenon allows water to play a key role in many natural processes, from cloud formation to the shaping of the landscape by glaciers.
Did you know that with of all available water On Earth, man effectively uses only about 1 per cent? The rest is too difficult to access or too expensive to obtain. This shows the importance of conserving water and investing in technologies to better manage water resources.
Did you know that.
Did you know that in one teaspoon healthy soil is home to more organisms than there are people on Earth? In this small amount of soil are hidden billions of microorganismssuch as bacteria or fungi. These microscopic creatures play a key role in maintaining the health of the soil, promoting plant growth and ensuring the balance of the ecosystem.
Did you know that as much as 25 per cent of all organisms on Earth live in soil? It is a veritable kingdom of microscopic life forms that play a key role in the ecosystem, supporting the health of plants and the cycles of nature. Without these organisms, the soil would lose its fertility and plants would not be able to grow so luxuriantly.
Did you know that as much as 10 per cent of carbon dioxide on earth is stored in soil? Soil acts as a natural carbon store, helping to regulate levels of CO2 in the atmosphere. This is a key process in combating climate change and protecting our environment.

Did you know that if flea was of human height, then theoretically (we emphasise: only theoretically!) it could leap the Eiffel Tower? It is amazing how powerful these small creatures are in relation to their size. Fleas have extremely strong legs that allow them to jump up to 200 times their own length.
Did you know that ungulates, thanks to the design of their limbs, can sleep standing? Their legs are built to lock their joints when standing, allowing them to rest without the risk of falling. This is particularly useful in the wilderness, where quick response to threats is crucial.
Did you know that The baobab is the largest tree in Africa? The trunk diameter of a large specimen can exceed 30 metres, making it an impressive giant among trees. Baobabs can store huge amounts of water in their trunks, allowing them to survive in the harsh, dry conditions of the African savannah.
