Once again a controversial issue-but one I'm quite interested in.
How many people, when thinking of "eco friendly" or "going green" immediately thought of politicians, protests and "hippies"? Unfortunately, though I know this isa not true, this is tyhe picture conjured up, especially with the general youth. Though this is slightly changing, its not enough. Those who want to make a difference need to break this stereotype, making climate change an engaging subject and relating to "the hoodie generation" how it affects everything, and that its not all "boring" politics. The use of popular media is certainly a big step towards this. Things such as music (Jack), fashion (Hayleigh) the internet (Patrick and Akhil). These can be coupled with media that be used in many ways, such as art (Pippa), presentations (Ziana and Shirley) (useful for assemblies and talks), video (Jess), and my futuristic newspapers (not really sure when they could be used-I suppose as posters/teaching aids?!)
