Fourth year Lawrence Dew has set up a youth climate action group in his home town of Watlington. Lawrence set up the group for the volunteering element of his Duke of Edinburgh award. Talking to the local paper, The Henley Standard, Lawrence said, “I wanted to get more young people involved and to make the action group more welcoming for people my age. We are advertising it at school and around town and hoping to get more members as we go along. I’ve always been interested in nature and the environment and I think more and more people are now aware of the fact that our climate is not going in the right direction and it’s becoming even more important to care and do something about it. David Attenborough has been the most important role model for me because he has always tried to make people aware of what we are doing to the planet.”
