Cleaning Plastic From the Oceans

Plastic pollution, particularly in the oceans, has been in the news a lot recently, with governments, institutions and big business calling and pledging to reduce the use of disposable, single-use plastics. But a young Dutchman has been fighting for eight years to tackle the other end of the problem: removing existing plastic from the sea. And his mission has just taken an enormous step towards becoming reality.

Red Nose Day is Back!

Since 1988, British charity Comic Relief has been encouraging people to don a clown's red nose and "do something funny for money". Red Nose Day is back on Friday 19 March and this time, it's plastic free! In 2019, for the last Red Nose Day, Comic Relief received hundreds of letters from children and schools asking about the plastic noses that are one of the charity's main fundraisers. Was there no way to make them that was better for the planet? The boffins got to work, and this year's collection of noses is plastic free: they are made from bagasse, a by-product of sugar cane. And in keeping with their environmentally friendly production, they are in the shape of woodland creatures such as snails, badgers, ladybirds and robins. Red Nose Day is usually an occasion for many people across the country, and especially schools, to have a laugh while raising some serious money, whether simply wearing a red nose to school or work or taking part in more complex comic activities. The Comic Relief team have worked hard to find ways to allow people to continue their fundraising. For example, the Share a Smile campaign encourages people to write their favourite joke on a downloadable poster and put it up in their window or garden to give passersby a smile. And hopefully encourage them to send in a donation. The money collected is used in the UK and around the world to support charities working on homelessness and poverty, mental and physical health and gender discrimination. You can find out more here . On 19 March, a TV special will see comedians and celebrities join in the fun, and show stories of the people who have been helped with funding. https://youtu.be/UXZblRmcqRo Billy's Challenge One big supporter of Red Nose Day went above and beyond to raise money in February. 21-year-old Billy Monger was on track to become the next Lewis Hamilton, when he was seriously injured in a crash while racing at the age of 17. Both his legs had to be amputated. Less than a year later, Billy returned ot the race track in a specially adapted car, and he has continued racing as well as starting a career as a Formula 1 commentator. Billy now walks with prostheses but he decided to take on a triathlon-style challenge in aid of Comic Relief. He walked, cycled and kayaked 140 miles (224 km) despite pain, exhaustion and atrocious weather. He finished on 26 February doing his last 50 miles on foot and bike in laps around Brand's Hatch racing circuit. You can see the highlights of his challenge here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88SckHTRUgs Red Nose Day will return next year: the event is reverting to an annual slot. Sport Relief, which had been alternating with Red Nose Day every second year, will now take place in conjunction with major sports events.

Bigger Than Us

This inspiring documentary features teen activists around the world who see a problem and try to fix it. From Malawi to Colorado they are fighting pollution, opposing child marriage, supporting education, freedom of speech and sustainable agriculture and demanding rights for the planet and indigenous people. Melati Wijsen and her sister founded Bye Bye Plastic Bags, to fight the plastic waste which washes up in the shores of Indonesia when they were just 12 and 10. Filmmaker Flore Vasseur met Melati while making a documentary, and a few years on, the pair decided to meet other young people trying to help their communities and the planet. In Africa they met two young women. Memory Banda in Malawi ran a campaign to raise the minimum age for marriage from 15 to 18 to protect girls from forced marriages and encourage their families to continue their education. Winnie Tushabe has helped 900 Ugandan families learn new agricultural techniques to gain food security. Like much of the continent, their land had been damaged by pesticides and Winnie taught them to use permaculture to grow crops and protect the soil. At the age of 12, Mohammad Al Jaounde, a Syrian living with his family in a refugee camp in the Lebanon, created a school for children like him. Today it has 200 pupils (top photo) and Mohammad continues to run it virtually from Sweden, where he has found refuge. British teenager Mary Finn also helps refugees from Middle-East conflicts, arriving in Greece. She’s now training as a midwife to continue her humanitarian work. Rene Silva lives in a favela in Brazil. At age 11 he created Vos das Comunidas to allow his community to create and share its own news. It now employs 16 journalists and campaigns for freedom of expression. Xiuhtezcatl Martinez began campaigning as a young teen in Colorado on environmental issues. He’s also a talented rapper and keen to share his First Nations culture. He is one of a group of teens behind a group-action case asserting the U.S. government is flouting their rights by not protecting them from climate change. All of these stories make up the feature-length documentary Bigger Than Us. So many of us find the problems we see around us so enormous they seem insurmountable. It’s inspiring to watch these young people who see a problem and decide to try to fix it, not wait for grown-ups to come along and do the job! See our Ready-to-use resource on Xiuhtezcatl Martinez. Watch the trailer Bigger Than Us On general release in cinemas The f ilm website gives lots of information about the different campaigners and their causes, and gives a link to contact each one. Could be a good class project!

Banksy in Venice

This short video by Banksy is a great addition to Shine Bright 2de SnapFile 8 Will you get Banksy-ed?. Like the prank studied in the file, when a Banksy work that had just been sold at auction disappeared into a shredder at the bottom of the frame, it questions the art market and what is considered "art". It was the street-artist's reaction to not being invited to the Venice Biennale, but also a comment on the large cruise ships that dominate the picturesque city and pollute its lagoon in the name of "cultural" tourism.
