每個人都有自己喜歡的生活方式， Diego 和 Anna很幸運，因為他們有著共同喜歡的生活方式。編者認為，這種生活方式給他們帶來的最大好處就是：“擁有整個世界”不再是一句空談。諾大的世界就是他們的家，他們遊歷八方的經歷所產生的各種感受、世界觀、人生理念或許是顛覆性的，且極具震撼力。澳門導報希望把他們的經歷分享給廣大读者。（人物介紹及完整内容，請掃描本文下方二維碼進入官網閱讀）

此外，如果條件允許，在家裡或者學校建一個小蔬菜園會讓每個人都很有成就感。

如果有花園，那建個小菜園很容易。但如果沒有的話，我們其實也可以在罐子裡種很多東西，從花到番茄、辣椒、向日葵或芳香草本植物。這能讓孩子充分瞭解從種子到植物，到花朵，最後到果實的神奇過程。它也建立了孩子與老師家長間的溝通，教導他們如何照料生命。植物就有它的需要:你得給它澆水，讓它接受日照或享受陰涼，修剪它，支持它，我們甚至可以跟它說話或撫摸它，總是對它有益的。照料植物這樣微小而美好的責任能幫助孩子更好地成長，並對周遭一切懷有更多的同情心與理解。它還會給你帶來滿足感，“第一片葉子”，“第一個蓓蕾”，“第一朵花”都是非常美妙的時刻。

如果可能的話，關心照料一些小動物也會是特別棒的體驗。

Also, if we can, make a small veggie garden at home or at school will give everyone great satisfaction. If there is a garden, it is very easy, but if there is not we can think that in a pot we can grow many things, from flowers to tomatoes, peppers, sunflowers or aromatic herbs. Following the process that leads from the seeds to the plant, to the flower, to the fruit, will put the child in a conscious relationship about how nature works, where food comes from. In addition, it creates a communication with teachers or parents, and teaches the kids to take care of a living being. The plant has needs: you have to give it water, sun or shade, prune it, give it support, and we can even talk or caress it, it will always be beneficial. The plant feels and needs, and that small and beautiful responsibility helps the child to grow with more empathy and understanding of his surroundings. In addition, it will give you satisfaction, "the first leaf", "the first bud" the first flower, which are wonderful moments.

If is possible, take care of some animal is also great, of course…

作為人類，我們一直在尋找“滿足感”。不過，我們需要改變的是什麼能夠帶來這種滿足感，這種愉悅感，這種幸福感。它們其實可以被非常有意義的行動滿足，而人類的快樂和幸福也可以成為生態行為的代名詞。這雖然並不容易，但我相信，如果我們對自己主動進行再教育，這並非不可能。

如果孩子們和父母或教育團隊一起，把對自然的關愛和關懷聯繫起來，把與自然的互動作為享受和成長的時刻，我們離“生態自覺”的教育就一定不遠了。

As humans, we are always looking for “satisfactions”. So,what we have to change is what give to us this satisfaction, this pleasure, this happiness. Because those worlds can be filed with very meaningful actions, and human pleasure and happiness can be synonym of ecological behavior. Is not easy in this world, but I do believe it is not impossible if we reeducate ourselves.

If the children,together with the parents and -or pedagogical team, associate the care of nature and the interaction with nature as a moment of pleasure and growth, we will be much closer to an "eco-conscious" education.
