This eBook is the result of the collaboration between students from various partners within the eTwinning 2024-2025 project:           "The Digital Journey of Waste".

Partners: Italy, Turkey, Romania, Poland, Greece, Tunisia, Jordan

The Earth is tired, and the Sun listens with concern. Pollution is making it sicker and sicker… But what if someone decided to step in? What if an astronaut, hearing its cry, landed on Earth to find a solution? And what if technology wasn’t enough to save the planet?

Maybe the answer is simpler than it seems… But who will discover it?
