Campaigning against air pollution
- 200 students
- 16 to 19 year olds
- 8 weeks
After finding out about charities supporting people dealing with the effects of air pollution, students at Croydon College wanted to take action. Teams of students did this in different ways across the college: science students looked at ways to measure air pollution in their community, health and beauty students examined the impact of products being used in salons while other students ran a campaign to raise awareness of the issue.
