Competition for IGCSE students

You Can Make a Difference...!!!

Climate change and our response to it are issues of global importance. Climate change will affect food production, water resources, ecosystems, energy demand, insurance costs and much else. There is a broad scientific consensus that the Earth will probably warm over the coming century. Climate change will affect us all.

Fortunately, we can ALL affect climate change.

What can YOU do to make a difference? Did you know that using less energy, especially electricity for lighting, heating and running machines will mean less pollution from power stations?

… and did you also know that if you leave a colour Television switched on in standby mode it can still use a quarter of the energy it uses when it’s switched on normally?

Tell us what your own ideas to help slow global warming in not less that 300 words. Do you have an idea for a project at school … or at home … or in your neighbourhood?

And hey !!!!! …..The best practical scheme wins a prize of a Play Station Portable … and a few other goodies!!!!!

Write your point of view and send it to flying.colours@britishcouncil.org.eg before 30/05/07.

The competition is open for IGSCE students only.

The winner will be announced at World Environment Day in Azhar Park, June 2nd.
