S2 classes have been studying #tsunamis and producing posters/infographics to educate travellers about what to do to stay safe. Here are some snips from S2J this morning. #geographysaveslives #earthforces #geocreativity

Last month, EARTH members Annie, Jacob and Hermione (S3) gave an informative Assembly about Greenwashing to S1-S6 classes.
They are keen to raise awareness of Greenwashing and share tips on how to spot it and what to do.

Making a positive difference 💪

Well done to Ellen (S2J) for her informative article about the #Spitak #Earthquake in 1988. A detailed and mature analysis of the impacts, including comment on underinvestment in public buildings, geopolitics and the difference the timing of an earthquake can make #Geography

What can you do tomorrow for #CleanAirDay? Active travel or take public transport? Talk to friends/relatives about stopping smoking? Other ideas? #ourplanet #EARTH #Sustainability
