The Environmental Warriors
This is an online event
Why do some people think climate change is not really ‘a thing’?
Why doesn’t everybody try to ameliorate treatment of the environment?
Why do we continue to buy cheap clothes, use crazy amounts of plastic, eat far too much meat?
Cost and convenience are the main answers ... perhaps the only answers. As governments and multinational companies head towards more environmentally-friendly practices, how can we ensure these continue and get better in the future? By reaching out to the young people!
STEM Ginger Education runs ‘The Environmental Warriors’: monthly projects related to the environment, running all around the world, giving children a purpose for communicating in English and learning about the bigger picture. Instead of telling children what is being done wrong, let’s give them reason to want to do things right! The more that we learn and care about each other, the more we will think twice about the way we are behaving.

Caerdydd Un Blaned a safbwyntiau pobl ifanc
Ym mis Mawrth 2019, fe wnaeth Cyngor Caerdydd ymuno â chynghorau eraill ar draws y DU wrth ddatgan ‘argyfwng hinsawdd’. Yn Hydref 2020, lansiodd Cyngor Caerdydd ei strategaeth ddrafft Caerdydd Un Blaned gan osod gweledigaeth ar gyfer dod yn ddinas niwtral o ran carbon erbyn 2030; ymateb strategol i’r argyfwng yn yr hinsawdd.
Bydd y sgwrs hon yn rhoi trosolwg o’r strategaeth Caerdydd Un Blaned ar gyfer plant a phobl ifanc a bydd hefyd yn cynnig cyfle i’r rhai sy’n bresennol ddweud eu barn ar ba newidiadau y dylid eu gwneud er mwyn lleihau ôl-troed carbon y ddinas.
Bydd y digwyddiad byr yn cael ei gynnal gan dîm Ynni a Chynaliadwyedd Cyngor Caerdydd, ar y cyd ag aelodau o Gyngor Ieuenctid Caerdydd.

One Planet Cardiff: young people’s views
In March 2019 Cardiff Council joined other councils across the UK in declaring a ‘climate emergency’. In October 2020, Cardiff Council launched its draft One Planet Cardiff strategy, setting out a vision for a carbon neutral city by 2030; a strategic response to the climate emergency.
This talk will provide an overview for children and young people of the One Planet Cardiff strategy and will also offer an opportunity for attendees to put forward their views on what changes should be made to reduce the city’s carbon footprint.
The short event will be hosted by Cardiff Council’s Energy & Sustainability team, in conjunction with members of the Cardiff Youth Council.

Action For Climate Change
Welcome to the Keep Wales Tidy, Eco-Schools Wales Science Week Challenges!
The focus of these activities is Climate Change; ways we can make a positive impact, issues to be aware of and challenges faced. There are four challenges that you can engage with over the week, or just pick and choose which suit you. Before you get started, we suggest making sure you are up to speed with what Global Warming is, why it is an issue and how humans are impacting on our planet.
