Eco Unesco.
On Tueday the 18th of September we had a talk from Kiaran from Eco Unesco. Eco Unesco is the environmental part of the United Nations. We were told about the workshops in our local area and about the ways in which we can all conserve non renewable resources for future generations. We learnt about the Youth for Sustainable Development programme which is for young people who are interested in learning more about the environment,sustainable development issues, and how they can take practical action to protect the environment.
The Youth for Sustainable Development programme is a programme aimed at 15-18 year olds and consists of 12 week workshops where participants can explore sustainable development. We were told about global issues, how we affect the environment and how we can take action for positive change.
This talk was interesting for me because in primary school I was involved in green schools committee. I helped to earn 5 green flags for my primary school.
