Young children across Liverpool City Region will be taught the value of good air quality in their communities after being granted unlimited access to a free learning platform.
Teachers, parents and primary school pupils can now enjoy the subscription-only channels of the interactive website Clean Air Crew, thanks to Metro Mayor Steve Rotheram’s Community Environment Fund.
The engaging online materials have been designed and developed by teachers and environmental officers from the Southport Eco Centre around one of the city region’s key environmental and health policies.
The aim is help everyone understand how they can help improve air quality, providing an innovative platform for teachers to embed sustainability into topic planning.
Steve Rotheram, Metro Mayor of the Liverpool City Region, said: “Climate change is an issue that we can’t afford to ignore any longer. It needs strong, urgent action – and in the Liverpool City Region we’re taking it. We were the first region to declare a Climate Emergency, and we’re trying to lead the battle against climate change too.
“I know that this isn’t something we can tackle alone. Collectively, we can make a massive difference. I launched the Community Environment Fund to empower local communities and help educate people about the threat climate change poses. Projects like the Clean Air Crew are vital in teaching our children about the importance of looking after the environment, and the harmful impacts of pollution.”
The Liverpool City Region was the first Combined Authority to declare a Climate Emergency and is aiming to become net zero carbon by 2040 at the latest, at least a decade before national targets.
