"Our idea for protecting the environment is to recycle magazines and (empty) bags of chips. This helps the environment because wherever we go, we find bags (waste) thrown about in nature. The idea is to fight against all of that by trying to make handbags. This is good for us and also helps preserve the environment because we have already polluted it too much."

"We have plant species that are becoming increasingly rare and we also have a species of crocodile that is becoming scarce, the desert crocodile. The relationship between plants and animals is important. Since crocodiles need water, a lot of water — the basins at Crocoparc are filtered and oxygenated by the garden’s plants."

"We have implemented certain ecological solutions to address this type of problem. We use an irrigation technique for certain plants called zoyas, and another technique called mulching. We cover the areas that need to stay moist with argan shells so that this layer, made of argan shells, helps the soil remain moist even during very hot periods."
