David Luke: 16 Under 16

’16 Under 16′ is a group of extraordinary young people that, Marine topic sponsor and Eco-Uniform supplier, David Luke have bought together to champion change.

’16 Under 16′ Projects

Eco-Schools and Marine topic sponsor David Luke have collaborated to produce these free project guides for schools. Based on the 16’s own eco-projects, these guides can be used to provide inspiration for your own early years projects. From creating beeswax wraps for staff to getting all children involved in becoming a ‘Plastic Clever,’ school or nursery, each of these projects can help you work towards a Green Flag award and they are even linked to the Eco-Schools international Seven Steps!

WWF’s Adopt a Marine Animal

You could raise funds to adopt a marine animal such as a dolphin or turtle through the WWF or other charities. Often, when you adopt an animal you receive a free cuddly toy – sending this cuddly toy home with a different child to look after each week is a great idea that can lead to discussion on how we can care for their wild relatives in our oceans.

Balloon and Lantern Release Statement

We know that balloon releases have been a traditional way to celebrate special achievements or events, but our attitudes towards them need to change. ‘Biodegradable’ balloon or lantern releases in schools are not part of our ethos and will be challenged. Please use our Plastic Alternatives Guide for other ideas to balloon or lantern releases, glitter and single use plastics in schools.
