Pertenezco
Pertenencia va ligada a responsabilidad: si soy parte de algo me preocupa su destino, soy responsable de él. Sólo conociendo el mundo aprendemos a respetarlo.
Soy
La persona es un ser con dimensión física, psicológica, espiritual y social. La suma de acciones individuales genera un cambio global en beneficio de la naturaleza.
Comunico
Escuchar las necesidades de la naturaleza y pensar a favor de ella. Comunicar el mensaje de sustentabilidad y traducirlo a compromisos y acciones responsables.
Comprendo
Sólo podemos conocer nuestro planeta si comprendemos su funcionamiento y adaptamos nuestro estilo de vida a través del uso de tecnologías ecoamigables.
Expreso
El arte retoma el lenguaje de la naturaleza para expresar ideas hacia el cuidado de nuestro planeta. Podemos expresar pensamientos y sentimientos reutilizando materiales.
