Blog Action Day: Climate Change
It’s been too long … But today my lesson with my Year 7s on “Sustainable China” seems a very relevant topic for Blog Action Day! We looked at pictures of workers in Chengdu, looked at some of the problems faced such as breathing problems and having to boil the water to make it safe to drink, and then thought about the causes of these problems. Many of the causes of the problems were in fact problems themselves … but problems in the UK which are then shipped over to China! We considered the amount of waste there is in the UK, and learnt that many of our unwanted old technology is shipped over to China to be stripped apart so bits can get reused. Obviously this all has an impact on our planet and our climate … Hopefully my pupils have begun to consider the impact their actions have on others at the other side of the world.
