Langdon Middle School was very proud to learn that their year eight class had won the National Senior Schools Environmental Prize. The Prize is offered every year by the Ministry of the Environment. The purpose of IS Prize is to increase students' awareness of environmental problems and to encourage them to actively take part in finding solutions. Langdon Gazette visited the class to find out more, We asked Mrs Fernando, the class's teacher, what the class had done. She said, "We decided to enter the competition because we were all concerned about a problem which affected us personally every day. Next to Qur school there is a river, the River Lange, which should be a wonderful alace. You see, it used to be the habitat for many plants and animals. (1) ... Added to that, people drop their litter in the river which, as you can imagine, only makes a bad situation worse. So, we had two problems to solve here. The first thing we wanted to do was to see what species of animals were still living in or by the river, and then we felt we would be able to explain to people how these animals were in danger of extinction because of our actions and show them why the pollution had to stop. 'Working with a local birdwatchers' group and an animal rights group, we were amazed to find how many species of rare birds were living on or around our river. We saw Whopper swans and Barnacle geese, which are two rare-very rare - birds. (2) ... continued to become more and more polluted. 'What we decided to do was to take photos of all the wildlife there and also take photos of the litter and pollution in the river.

Then, under the pollution photos, we wrote: Here is the pollution local factories are pumping into our rivers and the rubbish which Is being thrown in. How much longer do you think wildlife can survive in these conditions? At the bottom of the poster we added: Protest today. Send an email to [email protected] We didn't want to lose them if the river Under the we wanted to get as many people in the area as possible involved in te project, so we decided to advertise. Students hung posters in local ops and around the town, and a local radio station interviewed the class president about the project. (4) ... If you can believe it, in less than a month people had sent over 5,000 emails protesting about the pollution! Next, we organised a clean-up of the river and spoke to the owners of the two local factories. (5) ... gn an agreement which stated the dates by which they would have completed the changes. Students volunteered to check that the factory owners made the changes they'd agreed on.' To be sure that they kept their promise, we arranged for them I congratulated year eight on their wonderful work. Of course, the great thing is that now Langdon is a cleaner place, and we can nope to continue to see the lovely wildlife our river supports for many yeas to come.
