Local environment problems of the town of Strehaia

The problem of drinking water in Strehaia
A fair world in which we-the young people-deseve to live and in which globalisation is not a threat, but a chance.
We are wondering whether the air we breathe, thewater we drink, the food we eat stimulate our well being.
On the 10th of January 2014 we paid a visit to the local Water Filtering Station and thus we found out that the flowing water that the town uses contains natrium,a dangerous substance that imposes the limitation of the consumption by the children aged 0-3.
The filtering station was established in 1976 and it needs being reabilitated.The town Hall of Strehaia informed us that two tanks of 750m3 will be installed.On the 7th of May 2011, the Public Health Department Mehedinti asserted that the water was not good for drinking as it did not respect the standards imposed by the law.

We had a nice experience and we felt useful for managing to do something for our town. We organised a poll among the students of our high-school, the teachers as well as the citizens of our town regarding the priorities related to the environment.A number of 368 people have been interviewed and after analising their opinions we concluded that the main issues are the public water network and the reabilitation of the draining system.The other day, as we were heading to our high-school, we noticed that the reabilitation program had already begun on the streets surrounding the area.It seems that a sum of 9 million euro has been alotted to this program.

The communication campaign for the selective picking of waste materials
The waste materials are the things we throw away though they  might be valuable resources. It’s important to recycle in order to protect nature and the natural resources. The students of the high-school in Strehaia organised a poll in the interval 10th-20th March 2014. This included several stages:enrolling of the volunteers for the poll teams, establishing the responsibilities and instructing the participants,collecting information and designing questionairs and leaflets.The interviewees answered questions such as: ‘what are the package waste? what should we know about recycling? what is the legal background of collecting waste materials?’. The poll was organised in the town of Strehaia between the bus stations that connect the primary school and the high-school in our  town. The final stages were the interpretation of results and the publishing of the results in the local magazine ‘Framantari’.
