Perform a small "2-hours water caring action/project" at your school. We suggest Friday, the 22nd of March 2009, the World Water Day!

ENO Programme invites you to an exciting event. A new school year will be opened in a special way: planting trees and seeing stars! ENO Tree Planting Day 2008 will be organised on the 22nd of September, the day of autumnal equinox. The length of the day is the same everywhere, with everyone worldwide receiving 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of night. As the international day for peace falls a day before, this is also our contribution for peace.

Tree planting is important for us. Firstly, it reminds us of the nature and the importance of environmental protection. Secondly, it is a symbol for the international co-operation. Star observations is a new activity. This day will start our preparation for SciFest 2009 event that will take place in Joensuu, Finland.

A dedicated website for the event is available, as well as our database for planted trees. Instructions are available in 12 languages. Schools must register to event by 15th of September.

Briefly about ENO: Environment Online -ENO is a global virtual school and network for sustainable development where schools around the world study same environmental themes and share results of learning locally and globally. ENO has spread to over 100 countries. National Board of Education has supported ENO since the beginning eight years ago. The university of Joensuu and UNEP are two main partners.

The CLEAN UPsala campaign promoted by the City of Uppsala, by Life-Link, by Uppsala business people (Vi i Stan), by Upsala Nya Tidning (daily newspaper)and TV Chanel 4, is part of the Clean Up The World campaign (initiated from Australia).

This year, it will happen again!

In 5-10 years time from now we hope that it will be considered as a "taboo" to drop solid and/or molecular "waste" on mother Earth.

Life-Link suggests that your school and schools worldwide also perform CLEAN UP actions locally (Action 3:03) the same day or week! Then report your action! This action is part of the Clean Up the World programme www.cleanuptheworld.org.

A one year Life-Link campaign taking place at schools worldwide, and ending in August 2007 with an international youth and schools conference in Sweden.
A study form with guidelines for how to describe the school's garden along with guidelines on the campaign is now available on the website.
