SENRGY students help to save Rainforest on GO GREEN Day!
Recently, you may have seen a lot of green people out and about in ΒιΆΉΝψ. Happily, these were not aliens, but modern βEco-Warriorβ ΒιΆΉΝψ students!
ΒιΆΉΝψ students have been working with Size of Wales, a Welsh environmental charity aiming to save 2 million hectares of rainforest. The charity aims to use the negative measurement term of βAn area the size of Walesβ as a positive measurement to reduce forest destruction.
With the help of Size of Wales, ΒιΆΉΝψ students aimed to turn that negative use of the countryβs size on its head, by encouraging the people of ΒιΆΉΝψ to take positive action and help raise Β£500 to protect an area of rainforest the size of ΒιΆΉΝψ in Madagascar.
SENRGy students, Alison Cross and Thomas Edwards were the student ambassadors, who along with fellow students organised Go GREEN walks from ΒιΆΉΝψ pier, along ΒιΆΉΝψ High Street to Menai Bridge, GO GREEN quizzes in Bar Uno and selling wristbands on GO GREEN DAY (October 19th).
Through all the hard work and effort, an amazing Β£722 was raised, with every Β£1 saving a hectare. Reflecting on their efforts, Alison notes that βthis was a great way of raising money and awareness of the rate of rainforest destruction and hopefully the money will go towards saving a vital part of the Madagascar rainforestβ.
If you still wish to donate a Β£1 or more then please visit the ΒιΆΉΝψ Tribe at the following website: .
