I have a Jnr Activist - Proud Mummy Moment

[Catastrophic]

Thats super duper cool! well done to your DD, and well done to you hun :-)

[Rouge]

Thanks guys

She's got a pretty big heart when it comes to this stuff. The first story she ever wrote was about Charlie and Lola saving the planet.

She's nearly 9 Nettie.

I just love that she absorbs every tiny piece of information. And I'm always praising her for enjoying learning so much.

Your DD is so clever I bet your were absolutely beaming when she was explaining it all to your DS

She's nearly 9 Nettie.

Wow. Her comprehension of the topic is astounding. Future CE of WWF there...

She actually taught me something!

She also said to me "Why can't they just figure out a way to grow it on their own without wrecking the Orangutans homes, if it's that important." I had nothing to tell her.

That's wonderful - the way to change is definitely through our children - children have an innate knowing about the wrongness of some things.
Maybe google for her sustainable palm oil plantations. As there are ways without endangering the orangutans - this way she will see that many adults are putting their money where their mouth is.

Great that your school is supporting humanitarianism!

Wow, you must be so proud! It's great to see kids being educated about these things - as Inanna says, this is a great way to bring about change.

DS1 is in prep and the school, after a project by two older students, are now having a campaign to reduce the use of glad wrap, foil etc in lunches. DS is so on board with it - it's great to see.
