Let's Go Zero 2030 with Martin Crabbe
In this episode, Martin introduces us to an exciting new project called Let's Go Zero 2030 which will be launched in November 2020 at the Youth Climate Summit. This national project aims to get UK schools to become net zero by 2030. The project has been developed by Ashden but it is explicitly collaborative. Ashden have already started working with an impressive group of people including Global Action Plan, Ecoschools, Fairtrade, WWF, Sustrans, Soil Association, UKSCN, Salix and Carbon Trust.
Martin gives an overview of Let's Go Zero 2030 and then offers some perspectives based on his years with London Sustainable Schools Forum. In the final part of the podcast Martin discusses how Proyecto Peru, a project in his own school, will participate in Let's Go Zero and provide case study evidence to the Youth Climate Summit. As part of this, Martin discussed a school food project based on circular economy principles that he has started working on with Martin Morales.
During the podcast Martin mentioned this report by the London Mayor. IT IS RECOMMENDED READING: How London Schools and Early Years Settings can Adapt to Climate Change
Martin also mentioned a charity he is working with called Project Peru.
Martin's recommendations: Safety first, fun second, learning third
1. Safety - do your best to make your school more climate resilient (see Mayor's report above)
2. Fun - try to make lessons fun - the subject is serious but you are more likely to engage people for longer if they enjoy what they are doing
3. Learning - find the approach that you excel in or that interests you the most and start there
At the end of the episode, Martin shares not one but 37 free lesson plans (climate actions), suitable for a range of age groups, to help you engage in London Climate Action Week.
