Protect the Rainforests

The rainforest occupies only 2% of our world yet holds 52% of our biodiversity, and because of our foresting and over-exploitation, many species are endangered; such as the Sumatran Tiger, Rhinoceros and Elephant; plus the Borneo Elephant.

This has to be stopped, and we must band together to stop deforestation. 

You can help this by planting some trees.
You have a choice.

Stop palm oil and using products that contain palm oil.

The following Brands use Palm oil:
Hershey's
Kelloggs
Loreal
Pepsi
General mills
Mars 
Nestle
Palmolive
Reckitt Benckiser  
Unilever

And the winner for the largest palm oil buyer: Wilmer

Some of our highlights from Friday were the amazing home cooking that people brought and the stunning costumes that people wore. Here are some photos of the day


















Thank you for all the hard work you have put into the costumes and food. everybody enjoyed themselves.

GLOBAL WARMING

Global warming is a big threat to our existence. But it is because of us. Pollution, foresting, agricultural space and over exploiting. It is harming our ecosystems and biodiversity. We need to change this as the world you are giving to us. We care, why not you?
Quotes about Jane Goodall
We are continuing to steal the future of our children
“Don’t you actually care? About future generations? If you have children or grandchildren, don’t you care?”
