Help Ensure a Future with Forests!
Achieved their Deforestation Free Champions Award in July 2024.
Equipped with their new knowledge about the importance of tropical forests and forest-risk commodities, and the practical actions to help support people and nature, Year 5 students at Ysgol Blaenycwm set off to raise awareness and inspire change.
The students designed and delivered a whole school assembly for pupils and staff to raise awareness about tropical deforestation and share practical advice about what people can do to reduce their tropical forest footprint. Their main focus was on Fairtrade certification and its importance in relation to coffee and cacao. They then went on to hold a Fairtrade coffee morning and invited parents, where they sold Fairtrade chocolate cake.
They also wrote to their favourite chocolate brands to ask about their use of ethically certified cacao and to find out what they are doing to be more sustainable.
