Más información sobre el libro

Sustainable development aims to meet present needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet theirs, integrating economic, social, and environmental aspects. The book explores various initiatives supporting sustainable development, often lacking long-term plans, and conducted by diverse players such as companies, NGOs, and educational institutions. These efforts can create a local knowledge base that should be utilized and shared. Key topics include the inclusion of air pollution in Slovenia's primary education curriculum, with a focus on developing didactic materials and practical experiments to enhance understanding. The book also addresses ecological diseases, such as computer vision syndrome and sick building syndrome, highlighting their prevalence and impact. Despite Slovenia's high share of renewable energy, significant untapped potential exists, particularly in solar energy. Additionally, it discusses the application of cost-benefit analysis in food production projects as a decision-making tool. The historical context of school gardens reflects varied motivations for their use, while the importance of hydration for children's health is emphasized, noting their tendency to consume sugary drinks instead. Lastly, the relationship between physical activity, cultural, and ecological conditions is examined, advocating for a comprehensive understanding of its health impacts and intervention possibilities.
