The first chapter of the handbook essential concepts vital to understanding the environment, the problems that have arisen, and solutions proposed were proposed. The second chapter dives into environmentally friendly behaviours, offering practical tips and advice on how to positively impact the environment. In the third chapter, a special focus was given on types of environmental pollution and packaging as one of the most spread consumer wastes. The fourth chapter explores the connection between the environment and art, providing insight into and examples of eco-art. Lastly, the appendix contains 12 examples from partner countries that depict handicrafts made out of waste.
