Earth Day is a day to respect and celebrate our remarkable planet.
It is a day to remember the importance of environmental conservation (looking after the planet) and sustainability (meeting our needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs)
It encourages us to come together to take action for a healthier planet and a brighter future.
This year we are asking all students to make a single positive change this Earth Day. All students have been given seed paper to write the pledge on. Seed paper can be planted and it will grow in to wildflowers!
Examples pledges this year have included:
•I will have one vegetarian meal per week (cows (beef) release huge amounts methane contributing to global warming)
•I will make an effort to recycle more (less single use plastic)
•I will walk to school once a week (less fossil fuel being burned for vehicle fuel)
•I will buy less fast fashion (growing cotton uses unsustainable amount of water)
•I will pick up a piece of litter around school twice a week (environmental conservation)
•I will switch lights off when the rooms are not being used
