The Eco Rally at Cedars Academy in Birstall, by Lionheart Educational Trust, was attended by 1,000 young people from across the county.Dilan Savjani, director of personal development at the trust, said it was "an amazing day"."We’re really excited to have all of our students and all of our stalls around us here," Mr Savjani said.“Hopefully they learn a little bit about how to use their voice, and how to share their views.
"From then on I joined the Eco Club at my school. We did activities like litter picking, and we encouraged people to come to school by bike rather than coming by their vehicle.”Mahenoor, aged 13, is another pupil at Judgemeadow.
