Parents and teachers can now access a free home schooling resource and teacher-led classroom or remote learning session for teenagers.
LOVEmyBeach, the environmental campaigning project from the Turning Tides Partnership, will help teenagers learn about how they can protect oceans, beaches and wildlife.
As part of the WOOP! (Wipe Out Ocean Plastic) campaign, the resource shows how single use plastic items such as wet wipes, period care products and PPE can impact on marine life and habitats.
Students will be guided on how they can take action to prevent plastic entering our sewage system, causing blockages and ending up on our beaches, harming the environment and wildlife.
Anya, Cumbria’s LOVEmyBEACH Officer, said: “Our brilliant new resource is packed full of information and it will help inspire and empower young people to take positive action on plastics. We have created something fun and engaging, which compliments the work done in their curriculum while also giving them the tools to help prevent plastic pollution along the coast.” Download free at: www.lovemybeach.org/resources
