Work in Natural

    The participant and executer of the spare-time activities is a man. He lives, works and spends his free time both out in the country and within the society. He helps to create those two environments and by doing so he grows himself. That is where he forms his interests and activities and gathers inspiration for improving the quality of his life. That is why he does not stay (better say “should not stay”) just an object or user of this process. He can initiate it, actively take part in its course and partake in its exercise in today’s society’s life and his lifelong perspective. As a result the nature and society for him are not only an environment where he can realize his spare-time activities but also a source of important incentives for his life.

Biodiversity

There's people at University
Studying biodiversity
Researching how to recycle
Fridges, microwaves and your disused bicycle
Plastic bottles and empty tins
That would have landed in our bins,
Are put to other uses.
Please, please don't make excuses.
It's quite trendy to be seen
Helping our environment by going green.
Even the 'fishing for litter' scheme
Helps keep our seas and beaches clean.
So with a bit of luck this junk, might
Not end up in a landfill site.
