Schools, 'Speak Up' for Climate Change!

Back in February thousands of people around the world celebrated Valentine’s Day by their showing love for the planet and the things they hold dearest by supporting Climate Coalition UK’s “For the Love”. By creating and wearing special green hearts, the iconic symbol of the campaign we also showed our appreciation for the outdoors and the planet. Find out what we got up to here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qzS4L5BiTM Saturday saw the launch of another brilliant campaign by the Climate Coalition UK. Their “Week of Action” will be seeing nature walks, tea parties and community energy visits to start those key conversations about climate change. Schools around the country have also been invited to join the campaign from 8th-16th October in the Week of Action to celebrate the people, places and things we want to protect from climate change – and make sure MPs know all about it!  To help with school events and to take effective action, check out their schools pack! Discover plenty of fun and interesting things that pupils can do to get creative in talking to their MPs about the things they love and want to protect from climate change. The pack encourages students to:

• explore climate change in a new way
• send creative messages to their MP
• organise an event in your school to talk to your MP about climate change

 The pack has everything you need to run an exciting event on protecting the planet. It’s not too late to spread the word around your school using their perfect posters and resources to take action on climate change and begin protecting the things which your young explorers hold dearest.
