The world faces a global crisis of waste in the environment. Every part of the natural world is affected. We urgently need to find real, practical solutions to this crisis. Raising awareness and taking real action are essential parts of the solution.
4th class are taking part in the new Picker Pals initiative. Picker Pals gives young people the tools and positive motivation to develop stewardship of their local environments.
- Picker Pals engages children through a colourful character-led world of activity books, environmental readers, songs and storytelling.
- It empowers action by providing unique upcycled Picker Packs to classrooms. These contain child-friendly litter-picking equipment and enable children and their families to make a real impact in their local areas.
- It celebrates our Picker Pals’ actions by telling stories of their litter-picking adventures thereby building a community of young environmentalists around the world.
- Our ongoing interaction with participating classrooms through Picker Pals TV, competitions and other events ensures long-term motivation and behavioural change in children and their families.
We are delighted with such a high uptake in 4th class. Thank You to all the parents and families willing to create a better environment for our shared future. It is a great cross-generational activity that gets people out and about doing something they might not have done before. Children can share the experience with friends. We are looking forward to the children sharing their experiences with everyone.
