Sam (13) on how we can help increase #biodiversity by eating more #plants (and less meat).
Many farms grow large amounts of one crop, this is known as a monoculture and very bad for bees and other bugs. Many of these crops are used to feed animals that we eat. This process is quite inefficient so If we were to eat more plants and less meat there would be more room for biodiversity.
We are delighted to be involved in the EU Climate Pact. We have always believe that individuals can change the world if enough of us take action.
The European Climate Pact is a movement Launched by the European Commission to move Europe towards being the first climate-neutral continent in on the planet by 2050. Make a pact up do something about climate change.
There are many changes we can make to our lives that can help the environment. Here are 16 steps we can take - why not try one or two.
We will eat more plants, eat seasonally and cut food waste.
Will you make a pact?

Sam and Zack with the prototype for #GrowingTogetherYoungAndOld - No wonder they are smiling!
An idea from GardeningWell made possible by with funding from:
This project involves Spring bulb “Lasagne” kits are being distributed to over 200 young people in 8 locations accross County Meath through Scouting Ireland Twitter web
The kids do the plant up the pots and the pots are distributed to isolated older people in their area. The kids can include a note to the older person.
No plastic! Eco-friendly long lasting terracotta pots, peat free compost, 4 types of visually attractive and pollinator friendly bulbs to provide a long period of flowering. An ecological lesson and a gift that keeps on giving all in one.
This can be done by any youth group in any community. Give us a shout if you want to know more.
