Today I led a Plant-Based Milk tasting workshop for the @ministryofeco.bsky.social with ~140 Y8 students. They learned of the environmental impacts of different milks compared to cow milk and tasted oat, soy & rice milks. Most pupils still chose cow's milk but around 25% suggested they might change.

The work we do at the @ministryofeco.bsky.social isn't radical. We're part of a collaboration to support teachers & help move the Overton Window. The education system takes time to change, time we just don't have. The NEB for Teachers is suitable for all educational settings. @nebriefing.bsky.social

Schools don't have to teach children how to stay safe in a flood. 5 safety instructions kids should know: 🌊 Never play in/ near floodwater 🌊 Move to high ground 🌊 Don't touch electrical items 🌊 Turn around, never drive or cycle through flooded roads 🌊 Floodwater is dirty, wash everything that's wet
