We have prepared a project entitled “Sustainable Day”. Our main goal is to educate the people about a sustainable way of living and encourage them to change their non-ecological habits. During the presentation, our project group is going to play a short scene in which we are going to juxtapose contrary opinions and emphasize the importance of an environmentally-friendly lifestyle for the future generations. Our focus is on the following issues: energy, transportation, heating, diet and waste disposal. We are planning to show a set of distinct approaches: eco-friendly, uncommitted and non-ecological. In the scene, we want to present three lifestyles, corresponding to the approaches mentioned before. The actors are going to have a conversation in a shop about their views on the said topics and express their personal opinions. We want the uncommitted person to show mixed feelings when confronted with the conflicting opinions of the other two. Moreover, we want both the uncommitted and the non-ecological stances to shift to a more green one. Finally, the uncommitted and the non-ecological characters are going to change their approaches, saying “One sustainable life, please.” The genre scene is the outcome of numerous lectures, workshops, and personal challenges we have given, organized and taken on in order to raise awareness of the ecological issues in question.
