Young Imagineers Live Lesson 2 – Sustainability: Is plastic fantastic?

We've all heard of it, but what is climate change and what is it doing to our planet?

So, what is climate change?

Climate change (or global warming), is the process of our planet heating up.

Scientists estimate that since the Industrial Revolution, human activity has caused the Earth to warm by approximately 1°C. While that might not sound like much, it means big things for people and wildlife around the globe.

Unfortunately, rising temperatures don't just mean that we'll get nicer weather - if only! The changing climate will actually make our weather more extreme and unpredictable.

As temperatures rise, some areas will get wetter and lots of animals (and humans!) could find they're not able to adapt to their changing climate.

What causes climate change?

1. Burning fossil fuels

Over the past 150 years, industrialised countries have been burning large amounts of fossil fuels such as oil and gas. The gases released into the atmosphere during this process act like an invisible 'blanket', trapping heat from the sun and warming the Earth. This is known as the " Greenhouse Effect ".

2. Farming

Believe it or not, cows' eating habits contribute towards climate change. Just like us, when cows eat, methane - a type of greenhouse gas - builds up in their digestive system and is released in the form of... a burp! This might sound funny, but when you imagine that there are almost 1.5 billion cows releasing all that gas into the atmosphere, it sure adds up!

3. Deforestation

Forests absorb huge amounts of carbon dioxide - another greenhouse gas - from the air, and release oxygen back into it. The Amazon rainforest is so large and efficient at doing this that it acts like our planet's air conditioner - limiting climate change. Sadly, many rainforests are being cut down to make wood, palm oil and to clear the way for farmland, roads, oil mines, and dams.

How will climate change affect the planet?

The Earth has had many tropical climates and ice ages over the billions of years that it's been in existence, so why is now so different? Well, this is because for the last 150 years human activity has meant we're releasing a huge amount of harmful gases into the Earth's atmosphere, and records show that the global temperatures are rising more rapidly since this time.

A warmer climate could affect our planet in a number of ways:
- Shrinking sea ice
How will climate change affect wildlife?

Climate change is already affecting wildlife all over the world, but certain species are suffering more than others. Polar animals - whose icy natural habitat is melting in the warmer temperatures - are particularly at risk. In fact, experts believe that the Arctic sea ice is melting at a shocking rate - 9% per decade! Polar bears need sea ice to be able to hunt, raise their young and as places to rest after long periods of swimming. Certain seal species, like ringed seals make caves in the snow and ice to raise their pups, feed and mate.

It's not just polar animals who are in trouble. Apes like orangutans, which live in the rainforests of Indonesia, are under threat as their habitat is cut down, and more droughts cause more bushfires.

Sea turtles rely on nesting beaches to lay their eggs, many of which are threatened by rising sea levels. Did you know that the temperature of nests determines whether the eggs are male or female? Unfortunately, with temperatures on the rise, this could mean that many more females are born than males, threatening future turtle populations.

How will people be affected by climate change?

Climate change won't just affect animals, it's already having an impact on people, too. Most affected are some of the people who grow the food we eat every day. Farming communities, especially in developing countries, are facing higher temperatures, increased rain, floods and droughts.

We Brits love a good cuppa, (around 165 million cups of the stuff every day!), but we probably take for granted just how much work goes into growing our tea. Environmental conditions can affect the flavour and quality plus it needs a very specific rainfall to grow. In Kenya, climate change is making rainfall patterns less and less predictable. Often there will be droughts followed by huge amounts rain, which makes it very difficult to grow tea.

Farmers might then resort to using cheap chemicals to improve their crop to earn more money, even when long-term use of these chemicals can destroy their soil.

How are people coping with climate change?

Buying Fairtrade products can help make sure a farmer is paid a fair wage. This means they can cover their costs, earn enough money to have a decent standard of living, and invest in their farms to keep their crop healthy, without needing to resort to cheap methods of farming which can further damage the environment.

This support also helps farmers to replace eucalyptus trees - which take up a lot of water - with indigenous trees that are better for the farmers' soil. They can learn to make fuel-efficient stoves which will not only make them a little extra money, but also reduce the carbon footprint of the community - cool!

How can I help prevent climate change?

Small changes in your own home can make a difference, too. Try switching to energy-saving lightbulbs, walking instead of using the car, turning off electrical items when you're not using them, recycling and reducing your food waste.

All these little things can make a difference. You can check out more eco-friendly ideas, in our kids' guide to saving the planet! Plus, check out our cool article about Greta Thunberg, too, to discover how young people are making their voices heard.

Stefan Gates explores how shapes are used to sort and re-use rubbish at a recycling plant. He helps children sort their recycling and then shows them what can be made out of it.

Stefan Gates finds out that machines can sort rubbish into different 2D and 3D shapes when he visits a vast recycling plant. He speaks to Richard Kirkman who explains how they use different machines to sort the rubbish by weight and shape. Stefan throws some items from his own recycling into a machine like a giant sieve - a cylinder (plastic bottle), a flat rectangle (piece of paper), and a cube (cardboard box). We see that the machine lets some shapes through but others travel across onto a conveyor belt. The different machines and conveyor belts continue to separate the different materials. At the end a machine squashes them into cuboid bales of the same size and shape, but made from different materials - cardboard, aluminium or plastic. Stefan shows us the new items that can be made from the recycled material - cardboard boxes, drinks cans, plastic bottles and a recycled plastic chair. Stefan then visits pupils from John Donne School in South London who show him how they reuse plastic bottles by first sorting them into different sizes and shapes, just like the machines. Then they can make new things out of them, from bird feeders to planters to a whole greenhouse with walls made from 1500 plastic bottles.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Check out our list of nature art ideas and recycled art projects for kids that are fun to make AND more friendly for our Earth.

To celebrate Earth Day next week, our team gathered together a list of 30 nature based art activities and recycled art projects for kids.
Through art, there exists a great opportunity to teach children to be good stewards. Children learn to reuse lids, caps and milk cartons. To turn a cardboard box into a castle, fort, or robot. To recycle cardboard tubes and create sculptures.
The possibility to assemble and make new things while recycling or upcycling the old sparks children's imagination as they explore these non-traditional materials.
And a short walk outside with my son allows us the opportunity to breathe deep, soak in the sunshine and fresh air. To gather pinecones and sticks, some rocks and more sticks. Then to head home with our new treasures.

As we collect recyclables, save cardboard and consider how to give something old a new purpose, our kids are watching and learning this skill themselves. Below are some ideas that will hopefully inspire and put some of that recycling bin to creative use.

Happy Earth Day!

Rubbish and recycling

Not clearing up litter or rubbish can be harmful to the environment. Broken glass can be stepped on, plastic is a choking hazard to animals. Leave litter lying around can damage in the environment in which wild animals live in and pollute our seas.

Plastic, paper, glass, metal, food, garden waste can all be recycled. Recycling this waste can save it going into landfill sites and being buried in the ground. It takes a long time for our rubbish to rot in the ground. A plastic bag takes 10-20 years, nappies take 450 years and a glass bottle takes a whopping 1 million years!

Conserving energy

We can all make a difference to our planet and reduce the number of greenhouse gases we put in our atmosphere by saving energy around the home.

Turn lights off when you have left a room. Turn all electrical devices off when you have finished with them. This includes TV's, computers, game consoles. Putting them on standby still uses electricity.

Turn the thermostat down. This controls how warm your house gets. By turning it down by 10 degrees can make all the difference.

Shut the fridge and freezer door. Every time you open the door one-third of the cold air escapes and it takes more energy to cool the appliance down again.

Change your light bulbs. You can now get energy efficient light bulbs that use less electricity.

Take showers instead of baths. They use less water which means you will not only save energy in heating less water you will also save water too.

Turn the tap off while brushing teeth. Only turn on the the tap when you need it.

Become an official Energy Hog Buster. Stop the Energy Hogs from using too much energy.

Sometimes it might seem daunting to make a stand about something you care about, especially in front of adults.

But 6-year-old Emily was determined to make a point about climate change.

She went along to a local council meeting in Cumbria where she asked the people in charge of her local area what they're going to do about it - and they listened!

Emily said: "I want to be a councillor like you because then I could make the most important decision ever. The decision that Carlisle will do its bit to stop climate change. I feel like politicians are stealing my future from me by doing nothing.

"My future depends on the decisions you make in this room. Please give me a chance to change the world too."

After hearing from Emily, Carlisle City Council held a debate about climate change and said it is working hard to cut carbon emissions and improve air quality.

They said they will set up a group whose aim will be to help the area's emissions to zero by the year 2030.

Emily isn't the only young person who feels strongly about climate change.

Protests have been held in the UK and across Europe with children and teenagers choosing to skip school for them.

The marches have been inspired by a Swedish teenager called Greta Thunberg.

Given that there’s been so much concern around how this year has affected child mental health, this makes sense – yet, says Moore, there’s no need for one to cancel out the other. “It’s well known that time in and with nature is restorative,” he says. “Raising children’s awareness about the environment can be as simple as taking a lesson outside or using nature to illustrate an example or boost creativity – and they’ll get the mental health benefits of that too.”

Empowering students

“This is about empowering students,” says Chapman. “Students don’t need any more awareness: they don’t need to watch another David Attenborough documentary – they are fully aware of the scope and severity of the problem, but without empowerment they are going to feel scared and overwhelmed. This is about showing them that they can turn that awareness into action and see how they can make changes.”

Juwaria Jama, 15, Minneapolis

A daughter to Somali immigrants, Jurwaria Jama has spoken alongside U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar at a recent climate rally. Jama will be 25 when the UN panel on climate change (IPCC) says the world will surpass a critical emissions turning point in 2030, but she says her community is already feeling effects now.

"I live in north Minneapolis which is predominantly an African American community; we have a lot of factories situated next to us so we get a lot of pollution from fossil fuels," she said. "Climate change has affected my parents' home in Somalia because of droughts and food shortages there; this work I'm doing relates to them as well. Something that gives me a lot of hope is seeing so many different people fighting for this common issue and realizing that I am not alone."

Like thousands of other young people, Helena Gualinga went to New York City last month to march for climate justice and Indigenous self-determination. She is from a small community in Ecuador called Sarayuku in the Amazon rainforest, which she says will grow increasingly prone to wildfire as climate change advances. "I grew up with a constant fear that when I would go home my community wouldn't exist anymore," she said. "This year's fires are a sign that this has gone too far."

Gualinga says Indigenous people need to be respected in their territories. "In my territory, we protect the global climate from destruction and that's why Indigenous peoples' rights to their territory go hand in hand with climate justice," she said. "That is why I feel I have to do this, for my people and for the world."

Daphne Frias says she saw the unequal ways environmental degradation affected her home in West Harlem. "There is a waste treatment plant that has been creating pollution in my community for a long time. I didn't realize that wasn't normal until I went to a predominantly affluent neighborhood and saw that they don't have that," Frias said. "Just because we are poor doesn't mean we deserve to have our environment destroyed in our community."

Frias has cerebral palsy, and over time her lungs and respiratory system have weakened to the point that she gets pneumonia every year, making her susceptible to bad air quality. For her, intersectionality means making more space for the disabled community. "I don't see many activists out there with physical disabilities. It's really important that people with physical disabilities can get involved with climate justice and activism in general. I hope that I can inspire them. I don't think the color of my skin should impact the importance of my voice."

Energy - Becoming more energy efficient will help to reduce your footprint. Limit waste and consider switching to a supplier that provides renewable energy.

Food – Consider what you eat and where it comes from. Studies show that meat and dairy are the most environmentally damaging food types. Food produced in the UK is generally less carbon intensive than imported products.

Retail – From fashion to furniture, everything we buy generates emissions. The easiest way to reduce your emissions is to simply buy less. When you do buy, choose second-hand items or purchase from sustainable retailers.

Travel - Walking, cycling and public transport are all better alternatives to driving. Flying is carbon-intensive, so limiting the number of flights can really help reduce your footprint.
