Meet the climate cops protecting our environment

A NEW breed of police is coming to a home near you – and they are all under the age of 11.
The newest recruits are Thornhill ­Primary School’s Climate Cops. The kids have been taught to tell off their own parents for crimes against the enviroment, such as leaving the TV on ­standby and boiling a full kettle for one cup.
Islington South and Finsbury MP Emily Thornberry visited the children at the Barnsbury school on Wednesday for the launch of the £20million Greener Schools programme, organised by energy supplier npower.
Ms Thornberry said: “The most effective environmental campaigners are the young. The ­Climate Cops Academy is a great chance to train them up and then send them home to remind their families how to save energy.”
