Our research
We gathered information from our group about their daily meals and greener alternatives for them to spread awareness about green meal and its importance
Main research question: How can we make our meals greener?
We can make our meals greener by avoiding the food that have high carbon dioxide emission and implement a diet consisting of fruits and vegetables. By eating green meals we save our environment too as fruits and vegetables emit less carbon dioxide.

Conclusion
We understood the importance of green meal and how it is beneficial to us and learnt that making meals greener is only consuming food which contains lots of nutrients. we chose this topic to spread awareness about the ill effects of all fast food and diet containing high fats as not only they are dangerous but if consumed more can damage your liver. Foods like pizzas and burgers should be avoid as far as possible. All these points will help you to be a healthy person.

Video conference 1(4th November ,2020)
We had our first video conference on 4th November 2020 with our Dutch counterparts of Carmel College, Netherlands. It was very fun interacting with them and after giving each other's introductions we had a nice question answer session in which we learnt about their food culture and little about their lifestyle and how they were coping up in this pandemic times. Our principal ma'am had also joined us during this session and encouraged and motivated both the sides of teams. We hope that we will have more interactive sessions like this which will not only strengthen our bond with other countries but will teach us important lessons like teamwork(may it be offline or online) and leadership skills.
Evidence of our conversation with our partner school students of our group:-
Video conference 2(3rd February ,2021)
We had our Second video conference on 3rd February 2021 with our Dutch counterparts of Carmel College, Netherlands. This time we had double the fun. we asked many questions and it was a great way of interaction. It was a great opportunity given to us twice, talking to foreign people working with them and we learnt many things from them. it was a great session as we asked each other our experience taking part in this project. we hope this pandemic gets over quickly and we and our dutch counterparts can meet sometime to expand our knowledge about green meals.
