A flight, which however, can be easily darkened by the negative impact global warming exerts. Here rises the question: What threatens our planet and what can save it?
Turning back to my past, I can see how many efforts all of us have put in working and studying, both at home and at school, with the kind support of our parents and teachers, together with our friends and schoolmates, we have been in a constant process of building the vision of the world we live in.
