World Environment Day - Rotherham
Rotherham school pupils were amongst millions of people across the globe who recently celebrated World Environment Day (WED) on June 5st . In Rotherham activities were concentrated inside the world’s first mobile solar powered cinema – The Groovy Movie Picture House. The Keep it Cool event, delivered by Social Change agency diva focused on raising awareness of climate change issues whilst encouraging young people to think creatively about and make community pledges to actively help reduce carbon emissions. This event was timed just six months before the crucial United Nations climate change talks in Copenhagen.
The theme for WED 2009 was 'Your Planet Needs You-UNite to Combat Climate Change'. It reflects the urgency for nations to agree on a new deal at the crucial climate convention meeting in Copenhagen some 180 days later in the year, and the links with overcoming poverty and improved management of forests.
BBC Climate Change correspondent, Paul Hudson was on-hand to demonstrate how climate change had adversely affected weather conditions in the South Yorkshire area and highlighted the terrible floods that hit the region in 2008 through film archive and photographs.
Delegates were also able to participate in the Environmental Challenge interactive quiz which posed questions relating to both global and local environmental issues. Hosted by Britain’s Got Talent semi-finalist Sophie-Mae, prizes were awarded to teams answering correct questions using pda’s on energy, healthy living, heritage, built environment, transport, waste and recycling, wildlife and biodiversity.
To complete the experience, school groups prepared pledges linked to the Local Democracy Agenda, that they could put into place in their own communities upon their return to school, that would impact positively upon the climate change agenda.
