The choice of fresh flowers is ecology. Ecology project on the theme “Flowers of magical beauty”


Ecological colors

Ecological colors are calm, soft colors inherent in flora. These are beige, gray-green, sand, grayish shades of moss, tree bark, grass, stones, sandstone, etc. Just as wildlife has a beneficial effect on humans, environmental colors bring calm and tranquility

Clothing in ecological colors creates a feeling of tact, peacefulness, and willingness to compromise. Ecological tones add intelligence to the look. They are quite appropriate in a business setting, as well as on a private holiday, when you need to relieve tension and stress. However, these tones are not suitable for creating an exciting, bright look.

Relevance of the project.

Introducing preschoolers to nature is one of the most important tasks in working with children. At the same time, it is very important that the acquired knowledge is not presented in isolation, without reference to the whole complex of phenomena surrounding the subject of study. Children should always see the connection a separate type with the environment, its influence on this environment, they must understand that plants and animals depend on each other and on their habitat.
Environmental education is one of the main directions in the education system; it is a way of influencing children’s feelings, their consciousness, views and ideas. Children feel the need to communicate with nature. They learn to love nature, observe, empathize, and understand that our Earth cannot exist without plants, since they not only help us breathe, but also treat us from diseases.
Flowers are not only beauty, but also a part of living nature that must be protected and protected, and, of course, known. Know the structure of a flower appearance, peculiarities, healing properties.

During the project:

we have summarized and enriched the experience of children in the field of environmental education through the use of scientific methods and techniques. We collected invaluable material about flowers, systematized it and summarized it as experience in this project. Children developed: an interest in learning about nature, the characteristics of life and the development of plants; the desire to independently carry out tasks for caring for plants; skills of observation and experimentation in the process of search and cognitive activity.
During the period of work on the project, the children enriched their vocabulary and expanded their vocabulary; if at the beginning of work on the project the children knew 3-4 flower names, then by the end - more than 10. During the experimental activities, we developed the children’s imagination, thinking, and formed basic research skills .
We got acquainted with plants and learned to convey our feelings in drawings and crafts made from natural materials.
Adults began to participate more actively in creating conditions for the implementation of creative and cognitive abilities for children, in organizing and conducting environmental events and competitions.

Goal: to use the family’s opportunity to develop children’s love and respect for nature, and to involve parents in interaction. Creative tasks for children together with their parents (albums, collages, visiting museums, making crafts for the “Gifts of Nature” competition, designing the exhibition “Together with Mom and Dad.” Creation and design (creation of illustrations) of the ecological fairy tale “Golden Sun.”

Markets, passages, and shops in front of Radunitsa are already as usual littered with bright artificial gerberas, roses, dahlias and other flowers. Despite all the calls from the Ministry of Natural Resources to stop decorating graves with plastic, Belarusians carry them in small bouquets and whole armfuls. the site visited the main capital market, where a whole shopping row was dedicated to plastic flowers, asked the price and asked the sellers if the price had changed last years demand for plastic.

At the Komarovsky market, colorful roses, dahlias, peonies, chrysanthemums, asters and other flowers are simply dazzling. More modest options are placed below, lush bouquets are placed higher. Some flowers are indistinguishable from living ones.

Prices start from 1 ruble. But either small low bouquets or single low flowers cost that much. For 2.5 rubles you can buy cute flowers individually bigger size and heights. Bouquets of 5 and more flowers can be bought for a price starting from 7 rubles. For 8-10 rubles they sell elegant roses, tulips and flowers that look like lupines. For 12-15 rubles you can buy a gorgeous bouquet of peonies or dahlias.

By the way, on Wednesdays on Komarovka some sellers offer 20% discounts on goods, flowers are no exception.

If you compare prices here and in spontaneous markets in passages, near public transport stops, then it’s cheaper here. And the choice is many times wider.

The Ministry of Natural Resources has been calling on people to abandon plastic flowers for graves for several years now, but, apparently, this idea has not yet found a response among the majority. Sellers note that the demand for plastic flowers varies from year to year, but this is not due to the fact that someone consciously decided to switch to a more environmentally friendly option.

— I have been selling artificial flowers for several years now. I noticed an interesting thing: if Radunitsa is early - in mid-late April, then the demand for plastic bouquets is high, if Radunitsa is late - in May, trade is much worse. Apparently, this is due to the fact that it is already warm, many people have time to plant fresh flowers,” one of the sellers from the flower row shares her observations.

The girl is convinced that Belarusians prefer artificial flowers due to lack of time and money.

— People buy plastic flowers because they last longer than real ones. Living ones need to be changed frequently; many people have neither the financial ability to buy them nor the time to travel to the cemetery often,” explains the seller. — Many people ask which flowers do not fade longer, that is, service life plays a role. The living ones last for 2-3 days and wither. The cemetery is sad. And artificial graves somehow decorate them. Most people are not interested in ecology; we have a tradition that has been developing over the years.

We also asked buyers why they buy artificial flowers and not real ones, and how much they spend on it.

— Ecology is, of course, important. But what should I do if I can only visit my relatives’ graves once a year? - asks an elderly customer. — They are buried in cemeteries in villages of the Gomel region. I’m already old and can’t stand a long journey well. Natural flowers are planted there, of course, but they bloom in June. What before that? Buying living ones, firstly, is expensive for 3 graves - bouquets are not cheap now. I don’t have my own garden to grow tulips or daffodils. Secondly, they will wither in a couple of days, the graves will be empty again. And so for 30 rubles I bought 3 bouquets, and it will be beautiful on the graves for a long time.

Younger buyers say that they are against artificial flowers, but “my grandmother asked me to buy them.”

— I buy artificial flowers because my grandmother asked. It is a tradition to carry these to the cemetery. Personally, I'm completely against it. I think it would be better to be like in Europe and the USA - just green lawn, a small tombstone and a flower vase. For fresh flowers. Some people still have a tradition of putting flowers in pots. It’s cheaper, more beautiful, and the environment doesn’t suffer. But this is their tradition, and ours is different. “I won’t tell my grandmother that I won’t buy artificial flowers, because they harm the environment,” a customer of about 25 explains her choice. “I bought bouquets for 15 rubles, and for another 10 rubles flowers for the grave of my grandmother’s friend. Of course, I won’t tell my grandmother how much they cost, otherwise she’ll have a heart attack. But the cheap ones look worse. If you buy them, they are already beautiful.

We also visited sellers of fresh flowers to compare prices. There are still few products on the market from amateur flower growers. Tulips are sold for rubles. That is, a bouquet of even 5 pieces will cost 5 rubles. Daffodils and hyacinths for 50-70 kopecks apiece.

IN flower shops carnations are sold for 2.5 rubles, chrysanthemums for 4.5 rubles per sprig, tulips for 2 rubles, roses from 2.5 rubles.

Modern man most of his time, which is about 80%, is spent indoors. Thinking that indoors we are to some extent protected from adverse effects environment, - wrong. On the contrary, studies show that indoor air is 4-6 times dirtier than outside air and 8-10 times more toxic. The concentration of substances harmful to the body indoors in the air is sometimes 100 times greater than their concentration in the street air. Indoors we are surrounded by objects and materials that emit harmful effects on our health. chemical substances and elements. These are varnishes and paints that cover furniture, books, synthetic carpets, linoleum and parquet, of poor quality Construction Materials, as well as all Appliances.

Substances emitted by all of the above objects and materials are dangerous in themselves, and when mixed with each other, they pose an even greater danger to humans.

Not many people know that electromagnetic and radiation radiation are also present in the atmosphere of our home. Sources of electromagnetic fields are electrical wiring, refrigerators, computers, televisions, vacuum cleaners, fans, electric ovens. Moreover, if the listed devices are located close to each other, then their radiation is amplified, layering on top of each other. That is why it is necessary to position electrical appliances correctly. It must be remembered that a weak but prolonged effect on the body of EMF over time can lead to the development of malignant cancer tumors, memory loss, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases, not to mention chronic fatigue.

Another indoor hazard is radiation exposure. Researchers say that household appliances are not a source of radiation, with the exception of the TV, from which you need to sit as far as possible. Another source of radiation may be low-quality building construction, materials for which may contain radionuclides many times higher than acceptable standards radiation safety.

There is no need to say that the state of our health directly depends on the ecology of our home and workplace. The environmentally unfavorable environment of the premises in which we are located can cause both mild illness and quite serious illnesses. The first consequences of polluted room air are dizziness, headaches, insomnia, resulting in fatigue and irritability.

The natural question is: is it possible to improve the situation, and if so, how? The answer, like everything ingenious, is quite simple - a person needs to restore the broken connection with nature by surrounding himself with plants. Plants are real helpers in the fight against polluted indoor air. Besides what they absorb harmful substances, they also produce oxygen, the deficiency of which is obvious today.
