If you only do one thing

If you are pressed for time but still want to do an activity around Steve's event, why not ask pupils to plan an eco-warrior trip?

Plan an eco-warrior trip SOC 2-08a, SOC 2-09a

Ask pupils to think of an eco issue that is close to their hearts. What can they do to help and where do they need to go? Ask them to find out, map a route, cost the trip, and produce an itinerary. For more examples of environmental issues, visit the National Geographic's website(this will open in a new window). 

For shorter clips from this event visit the BBC Scotland Learning(this will open in a new window) website.
