PRESS RELEASE
Children from the Western-most school in England Sing for the Planet
With one more week to go of the Copenhagen Summit, people from all over the country are becoming more and more vocal in putting pressure on our leaders to come up with the right deal .
At the far end of Cornwall children from Cape Cornwall School, the school farthest West in the country, have recorded “Whose World”, a song focusing on Climate Change which they hope will send a powerful message to World leaders at the summit. The children got together with The Music and Dance Performance Academy of Cornwall, Sennen Primary school and Bolitho school to work on the song which was produced by Penwith Radio’s Julian Horner and written by Chris Everet and Rhys Griffiths. Released on iTunes yesterday ”Whose World” is now available to download.
The Far West of Cornwall remains one place that appears relatively untouched by Climate Change and children grow up here with a close connection to nature and the sea. Respect for the land around them is an innate part of their upbringing, making their plea to those making decisions on our future even more poignant. The children want their environment preserved for future generations.
Despite the beauty of the surroundings and the thriving tourist trade, West Cornwall remains one of the most deprived areas of the country and all proceeds from the download of the song will go towards local community projects in this area which is known as West Penwith.
The project was instigated by Independent Cornwall Councillor Chris Goninan who hopes people will be moved to action by the song. He said “We are making a strong case for world leaders to actually do something about climate change and to listen to the words of the song. They are powerful words”.
