Power of Nature
Nature creates, Nature inspires, Nature recycles, Nature works together. This year the students at Hudson Montessori School focused their study on how the living and non living elements in nature interact. During our exploration we marveled at the many diverse living creatures out there and how they inspire man. We also discussed about how biodiversity is important to sustain life on this planet.

In these art shows corona virus is depicted in the form of roses, which symbolizes a green recovery from the pandemic. The UN celebrates and raises awareness for a green recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. A sustainable green recovery plan from the pandemic, necessitates understanding the links between climate change, health, and biodiversity; and implementing ambitious climate change policies, which align with the Paris agreement. The United Nation's 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) are a call for action by all countries to promote prosperity while protecting the planet. More important than ever, these goals provide a critical framework for a COVID-19 green recovery. The 2 art shows by Selva Ozelli, reflect these themes. |
