Students take campaign against climate change to Westminster

BOULEVARD ACADEMY'S ECO COMMITTEE SHARE IDEAS WITH FLOODS MINISTER

- By DEBORAH HALL

ECO-CONSCIOUS students from a Hull secondary school visited Westminster to share their inspirational work to combat climate change.

Members of The Boulevard Academy's Eco Committee travelled to London to meet with Hull West and Haltemprice MP Emma Hardy, who is also the Floods Minister, at the Houses of Parliament.

The students enjoyed a tour and spoke about the projects they have led which are now inspiring their classmates and teachers to play their part in tackling the climate crisis.

The Boulevard Academy won a competition organised by the region's Oh Yes! Net Zero campaign, which tasked Hull and East Yorkshire schools with completing sustainable initiatives to earn points. Students have been involved in projects ranging from litter picking and upcycling, to delivering climate assemblies to fellow pupils.
