We were invited to the SUS Schools Climate Change Conference in the New Forest, Hampshire we had many conversations with young people about all sorts of issues from local transport to food in schools.
The day started in a very impressive council chamber where all the seats had their own microphone so people can join in the debate. Can you imagine a microphone in front of you with a button on it to talk waiting for the conference to start...
... exactly all the students were pressing the button and enjoying hearing their voice.
Then we had an amazing and very privileged presentation from Alan Lovell which is based on the inconvenient truth. Alan is one of very few people who have been trained by Al Gore himself to present his lecture.
We then had groups come and paint their feet and engage in debate about the environment. You can see the photos in the gallery.
Ed Miliband is the new Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change and he needs to hear your voice. We videoed your comments and here is the result. If you want to have yoursay add it to this post and we will send it on the Ed.
