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.
