A bit about me

Hello, I’m 15 years old.

In my free time I like being outside, kayaking and I play tennis. I have lots of pets: cats, a fish, a rat called Nettle and even cockroaches!

Personal statement

From my experience of dealing with climate change, I believe that there will be no future unless we start cutting emissions now.

Our natural and urban environment are key to the foundations of a future world.

I believe that everyone should have a voice no matter how old they are.

It’s all about what the young people of Somerset think.

I believe that

• Our generation should have a clean and safe environment to thrive in.
• If we protect and respect our environment, we are protecting and respecting ourselves physically and mentally.
• We should protect our natural environment and animals should have areas to thrive in in the future.
• We should also protect our urban environment so that its pleasant, practical and sustainable.

Objectives

I will:

• Research and survey young people’s opinions across the county.
• Raise awareness of environmental challenges, through action on the current issues.
• Create online resources, information and promotions, (such as a film, a workshop/activities or a podcast) to encourage people to treasure the spaces around them.
• Network with local organizations to promote the cause and help protect natural spaces.
• Connect and liaise with Parish Councils, youth organisations and projects, to identify issues and explore what needs improving
• Create a final report outlining my campaign successes and potential for improvements to help others in their actions.
