Students to study global warming solutions STUDENTS will be encouraged to find solutions to global warming with the launch of a new environmental school curriculum in Melbourne. The Living in 2030: An Experiment in Survival curriculum is a set of educational resources that invites students to imagine a world 20 years from now where environmental solutions have not yet been found to pressing issues including global warming. Students must then find solutions to the problems. Steve Cook, campus principal at Williamstown High School which has trialled the education resource, said students had responded with optimism and creativity to the program. Dame Elisabeth Murdoch, the patron of curriculum developer the Global Green Plan Foundation, and Federal Minister for Climate Change Penny Wong will launch the initiative. http://www.news.com.au/story/0,27574,25447273-29277,00.html

After that we were supposed to write a letter to the PM (not that they were actually sent) detailing what we thought about climate change and what, if anything, should be done to combat it. I thought it was a good way of getting us all to weigh up all the aspects involved and make an informed decision. Plus it was such an easy task seeing as the Stern Review had just come out

Human sign calls for Government action on climate change THE words of an 11-year-old Melbourne schoolgirl have been transformed into a giant human sign calling for Government action on climate change. The catch-cry "Climate change - our future is in your hands" - devised by Sophie Dickinson, a grade six student at St Michael's Grammar in St Kilda, was formed by more than 5000 school children and community groups stretching across the length of St Kilda Beach. Bayside Climate Change Action Group spokeswoman and mother-of-three Coni Forcey said the sign was a reminder that the next generation will bear the brunt of policies implemented now. "Children can't vote ... they don't understand the politics of the vested interests of fossil fuel companies," she said. The Federal Government's minimum five per cent carbon emissions target did not do enough, Ms Forcey said. "Kevin Rudd hasn't lived up to his election promises," she added. http://www.news.com.au/story/0,27574,25495985-29277,00.html I'm currently looking for a picture.
