Local primary schools gaze into the future
Hertfordshire’s primary school children have been asked to design a poster that illustrates what they think planet Earth will look like in 2050, in an effort to encourage them to think about the potential impact energy wastage will have on the environment.
The competition called Energy Impact 2050, has been launched by TAC UK, the energy management company.
Competition packs have already been sent to Hertfordshire primary schools and they have until July 1 to participate.
Every child that takes part will have the chance to be the grand prize winner and could win a cash prize of £1,000 for their school and a prize pack. Runners up in the competition will win £100 for their school. Prize packs include a wind-up radio and also a certificate.
Richard Strode from TAC UK, said: “Almost half of the UK’s carbon dioxide emissions, the main greenhouse gas which is believed to cause climate change, actually comes from the things we do every day, such as leaving lights on unnecessarily and over-filling the kettle.
“We have launched this poster competition as the effects of poor energy management will be far more apparent to future generations and it is essential that we begin to educate them about energy conservation now,” Mr Strode added.
