Activities include (i) three workshop/discussion sessions on global warming held on four selected ?blocks? across the island, (ii) filming of four global warming infomercials to disseminate positive environmental messages and behavioural change strategies to other young people and (iii) workshop/discussion on ?Organic Home Gardening using pyramid gardens.
