When talking about environmental protection, one of the first names that pop into one’s mind is Hayrettin “Grandfather Earth” Karaca, who is one of the founders, and the honorary president of TEMA organization. Hayrettin Karaca met the students of Private Istanbul College for a very special discussion. He talked about the history of TEMA, things that has changed in terms of environmental protection in Turkey since TEMA was established, and the story of his red jersey that he never takes off.

Following the discussion, he was able to create awareness about environmental protection with activities that were both educative and fun. Hayrettin Karaca had emotional moments when one of the students at Private Istanbul College read a poem he wrote about environment. He also did not forget to join an arm wrestling session with the students, which had become a part of his discussion. After the discussion with the students, Hayrettin Karaca held a meeting with the teachers and the school administration, and provided important information about raising environmentally aware students for the future.
