CLIMATE CHALLENGE
Challenge yourself and test your climate change knowledge. We will be focusing on four main topics: food, transport, lifestyle and energy.
We will be uploading content that will add to your knowledge of these subjects and enable you to make decisions that benefit both you and the climate.
An amazing source to discover more about each of these topics is Illustrated Climate. Their intricate and fun learning tools provide a great insight and understanding on the impacts on climate change.
food
Learn more about the relationship between food and climate change and how to act sustainably when growing, purchasing, storing, cooking and disposing of food. Including the topic of food waste and how we can minimise the food that we throw away.
transport
Covering a variety of transport options, learn about the relationship between transport and carbon emissions, ways to mitigate the impact of travel on the environment and reduce those emissions, how future travel might further accommodate environmental needs, and how people use transport and how we can reduce our impact.
lifestyle
The way we buy and use things and ‘how’ all have an environmental impact. Explore the connection between consumption patterns and consumerism, and the ethics of consumption, as well as the alternatives there are to current behaviours, including the reduce, reuse, repair, recycle cycle and concepts such as 'upcycling' the 'circular economy', and 'biomimicry'.
energy
Discover the relationship between energy and climate change, how energy is generated, the different types of energy sources, energy generation, including renewable energy, the transition to a low-carbon future and how people can reduce energy consumption.
