Start Easy

We are empowering young minds to combat plastic pollution! Start Easy Ltd. is proud to share the impact of our Plastic Challenge Badge program in Brent. We partnered with 3 primary schools to educate and inspire the next generation of environmental leaders. Through hands-on activities and workshops, these young people gained a deep understanding of plastic's impact on our planet and are now equipped to make a difference. https://lnkd.in/eA5mDkMy Key outcomes: 47 children completed the program and received their Plastic Challenge Badge certificates. 100% of participants feel ready to act towards sustainable development. Increased awareness of plastic pollution, micro-plastics, and the circular economy. Young people are excited to be "eco-ambassadors" and drive change in their schools and communities. We're grateful to the schools, parents, and partners who made this program possible. Together, we're shaping a more sustainable future!

Gerald Edelman brilliant insight day with the young people attending NCS - National Citizen Service Trust with us at Alperton Community school- organised by London Youth.

I'm excited to share that we've kicked off plastic talks with parents in partnership with the GOTO Foundation thanks to https://lnkd.in/e3Bp6R6W and Brent Council #togethertowardszero. This initiative will empower 60 children and young people to gain the plastic challenge badge and, together with their families, reflect on small changes they can make to reduce plastic use within the school community. Here are some sobering facts to consider: 1)Every week, we ingest or breathe an amount of plastic the size of a credit/debit card. 2)Drinking from single-use plastic bottles exposes you to 325 times more microplastics than tap water. 3)Over 60% of fish tested contain microplastic. By educating our children and their families, we can significantly reduce plastic pollution and protect our oceans. #oceanliteracy #plasticfree #sustainabledevelopmentgoals2030

We are delighted about Brent Goes Sustainable's work in educating young people in our community about climate action. As the report highlights, upskilling young people and equipping them with the tools to mitigate the effects of climate change is crucial for driving forward a greener and sustainable future for all. Community is at the heart of everything we are trying to deliver. "It's only when we reach and bring everyone along on the journey can we really start to embed climate action," Cllr Krupa Sheth, Cabinet Member for Environment, Infrastructure and Climate Action Brent Council This project has been a creative way to encourage young people from underserved communities to get involved and learn about tackling climate change in their local areas. This all helps in our goal to reach net zero carbon emissions in Brent by 2030. We hope this project inspires others and gives us all ideas on making a positive difference in the environment. https://lnkd.in/eWptH8Um #BrentGoesSustainable #Sustainability #Environment #GreenFuture

London Youth NCS - National Citizen Service Trust Social Action Pitch. All the young people attending were brilliant! A special mention to @PeaceSchoolUK: we have the pleasure of mentoring and guiding. For some, it was their first time presenting in front of an audience. They have grown so confident and voiced their concerns, turning it into a project against #islamophobia #skillsforlife #humanrights
