Hundreds of school pupils from across Falkirk attended an eco event in Callendar Park on Friday that was organised by two teenagers. Erin Henderson, 17, and Tamsin Gold, 16, agreed that the stress of putting everything together had been well worth it as they watched waves of pupils pouring into 'Know Your Eco Falkirk'.
Held in a large marquee in front of Callendar House, the tent was lined with stalls from organisations such as Young Scot, Eco Schools and Fuel Change. The girls' aim was to get a positive message across in the face of climate change messaging that can be a little overwhelming.
Standing in front of busy stalls with lots of young visitors from schools across the Falkirk, the girls were delighted to see their idea become a reality. Tamsin said: "A lot of the talk around climate change is about the planet dying and our idea with this was to show the solutions are out there. And I can really see that they are taking that away with them!"
