n It was an absolute pleasure hearing the boys speak about their learning throughout Eco Week. Throughout the College, students have been considering the collective impact that individuals can have and thereby making an Eco-Pledge. These pledges range from: walking/cycling/scooting to school, turning the lights off, turning the thermostat down by two degrees, reducing portion size at lunch to minimise waste, bringing reusable water bottles to school, recycling plastic bags, eating more vegetarian options and many more. Workshops were run by Target4Green and included: Exploring the UN Sustainable Development Goals, Children’s Environmental Rights, Dubai: A Case Study of Development & Environmental Impacts and The Story of Stuff. Each workshop encouraged the students to think about causes and consequences, work collaboratively and creatively and have hope for the future.
