🌍This week we celebrated Earth Day and today Dr Mya Rose Craig, also known as Bird Girl visited Manchester to inspire students from three high schools, helping them to think about all the ways they can make small and large changes at home and in their communities to help the environment.
🐦Visiting Forum Library creative space and Didsbury library Mya-Rose spoke to the students about how bird watching and getting out into nature changed her life and helped her family during a time of need. She also spoke about all the campaigning she has done as a young person and showed how young people can be the voice of change.
🌍Mya-Rose asked the students to make a pledge for what they might do next, from litter picking to no mow May, warning people about the impact of using AI to writing to their MP, they all made pledges to get out there and do something for the earth. What inspiring sessions.
You can find Dr Mya-Rose Craig's books in Manchester Libraries and Bird Girl will be on Borrow Box very soon.
