Children were invited to explore different plant milks such as soya, oat, almond and more. The session encouraged the kids to try each milk and then share their favourites on a huge tally board, making the experience interactive and fun. Alongside the tasting, the MEE guided the children through the environmental impact of each milk, highlighting facts such as how oat milk produces just 0.9kg of greenhouse gas emissions per litre compared to dairy milk's 3.15kg.

Climate Clock

The Climate Clock is a version of the Doomsday clock that has been running since 1947 - this tracks the risk of global man-made disaster, through man made technology (like nuclear weapons) - displaying the minutes and seconds left before midnight, when disaster strikes. The climate crisis is a small part of the calculations made.The climate clock uses a similar approach, but, focuses only on the climate crisis - which is the biggest and most urgent existential threat we face."The Climate Clock is a countdown to the biggest man-made disaster we face - but also a measure by which we can track our progress - moving from fossil to renewable energy. It shows we have no time to lose - the clock is ticking鈥�" Dale Vince, OBE.
