BACKGROUND:
In 2008 Millennium Kids interviewed hundreds of young people about what they liked and what the did not like about their community – Climate Change was a major concern in every community we worked in. So in 2009 hundreds of young people have come together to create THE BIG SWITCH EXPERIMENT – a research and action program run by young people.

Jodee visits Wesley College


On the 22nd of May 2009 Jodee the Environmental Officer for the City of South Perth came to visit the Year 10 Climate Change students. She recieved a polite reception from the boys. The students asked numerous questions about the South Perth Foreshore and the erosion of the Como Beach wall. She said that a wall was knocked down this morning by heavy winds, rain and waves and that a stronger bigger wall would have to be built. Decades ago, before the wall was built the foreshore was a very nice beach where people would go to swim.

Brad asked what the City was doing to improve the habitat for swans. Jodee let them know that there used to be beautiful places for swans to breed and nest. However they are now all gone and the City is trying to recreate them around ponds.

The Wesley Boys look forward to seeing her again and assisting her campaign to improve the Swan River.
