The colour of our money or more the lack of it has made us forget about the other global disaster. Global warming! With the recession hitting everyone hard, not only has the Government put a hold on plans to deal with global warming so have the public.
However not everyone has forgotten about the dangers of global warming. Green-fingered school children in Netherthorpe will be making their area even greener next Monday as they plan to plant four trees during the day. Accompanying the pupils on the activity will be City Council’s Chief Executive, John Mothersole.
However it's not just the children at Netherthorpe Primary that will be planting trees, pupils from Angram Bank Junior School and Lound Infants School will help to plant six trees in a bid to make their area greener.
Councillor Colin France, the City Council’s Cabinet Adviser for Climate Change and Local Environment said: “It’s great to see so many young people getting involved in planting trees right across the city. They will have the opportunity to see the trees grow and make a valuable contribution towards ensuring that Sheffield remains this country’s greenest city.”
The tree-planting is part of the Council’s commitment to plant at least 5,000 trees this year to improve Sheffield’s green environment. Matthew Webb from Netherthorpe Primary School added: "Our pupils were really keen to be involved in this project, as it will allow them to do something positive that they will see every day. As a school we are passionate about making the Netherthorpe area an even better place to be."
The Lord Mayor said: “It’s wonderful to see so many young people getting involved in planting trees to improve the environment right across the city. They will be able to see the trees grow and make a positive contribution to this country’s greenest city.”
