00:00Okay then Charlie, can you tell me a bit about the Travel Tracker initiative here at the

00:21school?

00:22Um, Travel Tracker is all about walking to school or trying to like scooter or bike so

00:29the gas doesn't hurt the planet more and you also have more habitats for the animals.

00:34And Rosa, how have you been coming to school then?

00:36Um, I've been walking and stuff.

00:38Why is it important we look for alternatives to coming in cars?

00:41Why is that important?

00:42Because it's not, it's good for your mental and physical health and it's not very good

00:46for the wildlife and the climate change.

00:50Okay, I understand you've also been creating a school orchard, you've been creating flower

00:54beds, planting vegetables, that sort of thing in the school garden.

00:57Why is that important do you think?

00:59Why is it important that we plant trees, we plant vegetables, we plant flowers?

01:02Why is that important Charlie?

01:04It's because, um, so we've got more food for the school for plants and we've got more oxygen

01:11for the people.

01:14And as well as people, what else is it going to help?

01:18What do you think Rosa, what's it going to help?

01:20The animals and bees and birds.

01:24And what sort of things did you plant?

01:26Carrots and turnips and pumpkins.

01:29What about you Charlie?

01:31We are planting carrots, but we've been planting trees and flowers, turnips.

01:36And was it lots of fun?

01:37Yes.
