Climate Change - A youthful message
Last night was the prize giving ceremony for those that had entered the Bury Friends of the Earth poster competition to highlight climate change. Which was also run with the support of Bury Environmental Services.
It was great to see an array of posters designed by all age ranges of local school children. What was most interesting besides the quality of the winning entries was the stark message emanating from these posters - that climate change affects us all and has to be dealt with now.
And, when you look at those young people and their visions of climate devastation you realise more than ever that for their futures we must tackle this issue now.
I know my colleague Cllr Ann Garner was very much involved in supporting FOE in this competition to raise awareness on this vital subject and helped bring the Council on board, and I congratulate her on her efforts. Certainly the winners went away with the biggest goody bags I have ever seen!
have your say
