The mural educational path

The mural educational path – Part (1): The first artwork is located at the building at Szare Szeregów 2. We move back about 700 thousand years – to the times when man began to use fire.

The mural educational path – Part (2): The mural shows how much our life has changed thanks to electrification. At Witosa 2, welcome to Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla and the related beginnings of electric lighting. In the second half of the 19th century, Edison invented the light bulb, and in the early 20th century Tesla invented the electric motor, radio, bicycle dynamo, and 300 other inventions.

The mural educational path – Part (3): Non-renewable resources, coal and oil, are the main culprits behind environmental pollution.

The mural educational path – Part (4): The next mural is at Witosa 5. Hope for a developing branch of renewable energy, obtaining energy from wind, sun and water, we can make biogas from industrial and everyday waste, and biomass from agricultural waste.

The mural educational path – Part (5): This is the summary of the whole ecological story and the message. Let’s be ecologically aware, take small steps and in every action let’s ask ourselves whether you can be more eco. – Agnieszka Pisarska
