Churston Ferrers Grammar School
Hope For Planet Earth!
On Tuesday 4/03/08.The Hope for Planet Earth tour, with leading experts from Tearfund, A Rocha, John Ray Initiative, The Faraday Institute and Share Jesus International, visited Churston Ferrers Grammar School.

Students from Years 9 & 11 were invited to a multi media presentation exploring the science behind climate change from a Christian perspective and its impact on people and the planet.

Lively, sometimes passionate, presentations were given on the science of global warming and the other environmental issues we are all facing.

Students were asked to think what a child in a poor African country might want to say to them - and 'swap places' was one of the answers given. At the end, everyone was asked to think about possible personal action: a good test of whether the speakers had got through to them. To judge by the responses, mostly practical, some humorous, they had.
