      I’m helping to set up a project to twin a forest in Leeds with a forest in Tanzania in Africa (like when you ‘twin’ a town) so I would use the money to make some activities for school children in Tanzania to learn about why their forests are so important and encourage them to preserve the forests for as long as possible. ? ? ?

      Making sure tropical rainforests stay standing and don’t get cut down is a really important way to fight climate change, as well as saving the habitats of lots of animals – these educational actitivies will be very important because the school children in Tanzania do not have access as much information as school children in the UK do. ? ?

      Hi samaras123.

      I’d really like to use the money to make some workshops that I can take into schools to teach children about climate change and what we can do to stop it happening so quickly! There’s a really cool experiment I want to be able to do where you can make your own solar cells out of raspberries but I can’t afford to run it at the minute!

      I think it’s important because it would give people the chance to learn about exciting new science and also get to meet some scientists!
