RADIO HOST: And now over to our reporter Vicky Sandhurst who's currently in Todmorden in West Yorkshire, a little town with a great idea. And that idea is all about carrots and cucumbers, apples and apricots. I'll say no more…Vicky!

REPORTER: Yes, good morning, Brendan. I'm here in Todmorden, or ‘Tod', as the people here call it. What's happening here is amazing. But I want you to hear it from one of the young people who live here. What's your name?

SIMON: Simon.

REPORTER: And how old are you?

SIMON: 15.

REPORTER: Simon, tell our listeners please what's so special about Tod.

SIMON: Incredible Edible.

REPORTER: And what's Incredible Edible, Simon? Tell us more.

SIMON: Well, it's the name of a project that we're all involved in. Some people in Tod had the idea some time ago that Todmorden should become the first town in the country that's self-sufficient in food. The idea was that all the free spaces in the town should be used to grow vegetables. People liked the idea, I guess, and started to plant vegetables. Where we had flowers before, you know, now we've got vegetables and fruit trees, and every… everybody can take what they want, and nobody has to pay for it.

REPORTER: Wow! Well, thanks for talking to us, Simon. That sounds wonderful.

Excuse me, you've just taken some broccoli from this flower bed here which is actually right next to the police station. And they aren't arresting you for doing that?

MAN: No, not at all. We don't buy our vegetables from the supermarket, we get them free.

REPORTER: That's amazing! But who plants all those vegetables?

MAN: We all do, and that's the idea. If we all work together, we do good things for others, and others do good things for us.

REPORTER: What a brilliant idea! Enjoy your lunch!

MAN: Thank you.

REPORTER: And I'm now joined by the woman who started it all - Mary Clear. Mary, I heard that you came up with this wonderful idea when you were drinking coffee with a friend. Is that right?

MRS CLEAR: Yes, we were talking and found we were both pretty unhappy about the state of things. There are so many negative things happening in the world… so we thought, let's just do something positive.

REPORTER: Wow. And how did people react?

MRS CLEAR: At our first public meeting 60 people showed up. And the reaction was amazing. Incredible Edible …

SIMON: Simon.

LIZ: So I hear you're starting a band, Ben.

BEN: That's right. I am. The Green Warriors.

LIZ: The what?

BEN: The Green Warriors – that's our name.

LIZ: OK, so how did you choose that name?

BEN: Well, it was Ian's sister Alice who came up with it. She said we should choose something environmental.

LIZ: Why?

BEN: To show that we care about the environment. It makes us a bit different.

LIZ: So are all your songs about the environment?

BEN: Well, we haven't got any yet, but we're going to write some.

LIZ: Yes, that might be a good idea. So I guess you sing and play keyboards, Ian plays guitar …

BEN: No, Ian isn't playing the guitar any more. He prefers the drums.

LIZ: Is he any good?

BEN: He isn't bad.

LIZ: Who else is in the band?

BEN: There's Jessica on bass guitar and Lucy on violin.

LIZ: Wow – you've got a violinist!

Ben Yes. She's really cool.

LIZ: So I don't suppose you're looking for someone to play the saxophone?

BEN: Well, we did have a trumpet player, but he dropped out, so yes – I suppose if we knew someone who played, we'd be interested. Why – do you know someone?

LIZ: Well, yes, I do – me.

BEN: You, Liz?

LIZ: Yes, me. I've been playing for about half a year.

BEN: OK. Come along to our next practice – it's after school on Wednesday in the music classroom – and we'll see if you're any good.

LIZ: Cool. I'll be there.

Hot topic: THE ENVIRONMENT

This week, four experts share with us what they think the key challenges for the world's environment will be in the future. As always, we are curious to get our readers' reactions. So tell us what you think.

1 Endangered species

might not be any tigers left at all! These are just two examples. Many other animals are endangered, too. Some of them may be gone forever very soon.

Joc Wagner, Cape Town

2 Overfishing

It's not looking good for the fish population. Certain species are in danger, and there aren't many of them in the sea where fishermen usually go. Fishing ships are therefore going further and further out into the oceans. They try to get the rare species because they can get better prices for them. If things go on like this, 40 years from now there won't be any fish left in the seas. It's not too late yet, but it may be soon. The oceans need much stricter laws and a fishing industry that keeps to them. Rick Cavendish, San Diego

3 Deforestation

About 30% of the world's land is still covered with forests. But every year, we lose areas as big as the country of Panama. Big companies earn millions from

producing wood, paper and cardboard from the trees. Forests are also cut down to make more space for growing crops such as soya or creating huge

cattle farms. The consequences of deforestation are dramatic and partly responsible for climate change. About 70% of the world's land animals and plants live in forests. If we lose the forests, we will lose millions of species. Alejandro Silvas, Quito

4 Rising levels of sea water

Over the last 20 years or so, sea water temperatures have been going up. As a consequence, the ice caps around the poles have started to melt, and sea levels

have started to rise. If this doesn't stop, the water will rise further and may flood many islands. Then some countries like the Maldives won't be there any more. There is also a danger that some huge low-lying coastal cities might end up below the sea. It's hard to imagine what the consequences of such

changes might be. Gajkaran Sanu, New Delhi

Hot topic: THE ENVIRONMENT

1 Endangered species

The black rhino in Africa is in serious danger of becoming extinct. This is because some people think rhino horn has special powers. They pay enormous sums of money for it. So people kill rhinos and sell their horns. Tigers are in serious danger, too. At the beginning of the 20th century, there were about 100,000 tigers. Now there are only about 3,000 left. In a few years' time, there might not be any tigers left at all! These are just two examples. Many other animals are endangered, too. Some of them may be gone forever very soon.

Small changes, BIG consequences

6 things you can do to help the environment

Don't leave your DVD player, your computer or other electrical appliances on standby. If you switch off your TV completely when you've stopped watching, it won't use any electricity. People think that a gadget on standby uses only the electricity for that 'little red light'. Not true!

When you charge your mobile, disconnect the charger from the phone

when the battery is fully charged. Otherwise you're wasting energy.

If you reuse your shopping bags when you go to the supermarket, you'll save money. If you keep them and take them with you the next time you go shopping, you won't need new bags. Don't forget that a lot of energy is needed to produce plastic bags, and plastic waste is a danger for the

environment. Unless people stop throwing plastic away, the environment will suffer even more.

Don't let the water run while you're brushing your teeth. If you turn it off and use a cup of water to rinse your mouth, you'll save a lot of water!

Make sure none of the taps in your house drip. If a tap drips, it wastes three or more litres of water a day.

Think before you throw things away, and tell your family to do the same. They may not want to use an old mobile, computer or MP3 player any more. That doesn't mean those things should end up in the litter bin. If they go to a charity instead, other people might find them very useful.

STOP! BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE

The Himalayas

Why should we care?

The Himalayan mountains in South Central Asia contain many of the world's tallest peaks, including Mount Everest. They also contain the biggest number of glaciers after the North and South poles. Three of the greatest rivers in the world start from these mountains: the Ganges, the Indus and the Yangtze. These rivers provide water to a billion people in Asia.

What's happening?

The biggest danger to the Himalayas is global warming, which is melting the glaciers fast. There is also a huge problem with deforestation in the mountains. Many species of animals such as the tiger, the rhino and the snow leopard are in danger.

The Galapagos Islands

Why should we care?

The Galapagos Islands are one of the most amazing places on Earth. These tiny islands are 1,000 km from Ecuador in the Pacific, and contain many species of plants and animals that are found nowhere else in the world, among them the giant tortoise, the Galapagos penguin and the Galapagos sea lion. They are also famous because the scientist Charles Darwin spent time there studying the wildlife.

What's happening?

The Galapagos Islands are very fragile. The greatest dangers to them include overfishing, pollution and tourism. There is also a threat of animals from other parts of the world arriving on the islands and killing the local wildlife.

The Amazon

Why should we care?

The Amazon in Brazil is the largest tropical rainforest in the world. It is home to 10% of the world's wildlife. The Amazon River is the largest in the world and contains the most freshwater fish on the planet. It is also home to 350 different tribes. But perhaps most importantly, it provides between 25 and 30% of the world's oxygen.

What's happening?

The biggest threat is deforestation. This happens to make space for farm land and to have wood. As a result, many animals are endangered, among them the golden lion tamarin and the jaguar. Since 1950 we have lost more than 17% of the Amazon rainforest. We can't afford to lose any more.

The Great Barrier Reef

Why should we care?

The Great Barrier Reef, off the eastern coast of Australia, is over 2,000 km long. It is the only living organism on the planet that you can see from space. It is home to 1,500 different types of fish, 400 different types of coral, 215 different types of birds and six different types of turtle.

What's happening?

We have already lost 10% of all the coral, but scientists fear that we will lose 70% more in the next 40 years. The greatest dangers to the reef are pollution and overfishing.

The sad story of a once beautiful river

The Quiller River was once so beautiful that there is even a song about it. And now?

The situation is alarming. There are lots of factories along the river. Newspapers have recently reported that the water in the river is totally polluted. There are hardly any fish left, and the water itself smells terrible. The situation will be even worse in a few years unless factories stop polluting the water. So I really think politicians should do something about it. We need stricter laws to protect our river.

And just look at the river banks. They are covered in litter. It seems that there are lots of people who throw their waste into the river. This must stop! We should all get together and help clean up the river banks.

If politicians wake up and we all do something, we might once again be able to enjoy the beauty of the river. Let's hope it's not too late.

A young girl who made people listen and made a difference

Let's say that you're 12 years old, you feel strongly about something and you want to talk about it. Perhaps, though, you think that no one wants to hear what you have to say. Well, there are examples of young people who have made the adult world pay attention.

One example is Severn Cullis-Suzuki from Canada. Many years ago, when she was very young, she learned that the United Nations Assembly was going to meet in Brazil in 1992. Severn decided that she wanted not only to go there but also to say something. She started to raise money for the trip and when she was 12, she had enough for the 11,000-kilometre journey.

Severn was sure that she had something to say, and when she made her five-minute speech to the UN Assembly, she tried very hard to make an impact. Severn stood up and talked to the Assembly about a lot of things. She talked about environmental issues like pollution and the hunting of animals to extinction, but she also talked about the situation of children in many parts of the world, poor and starving children in particular. She contrasted them with children in richer countries who have more than they need and throw things away. Severn didn't pretend to have any answers, but her questions were a challenge to the world's leaders – questions about why the adults who run the world don't take more care of it and of the people who live in it.

Many people who heard her speech were crying at the end, and the audience gave her a standing ovation when she finished.

So, the lesson is that your age isn't the important thing. Severn showed that

young people can make a difference, providing they're brave enough to

believe in themselves. Who knows? Perhaps you could be another Severn.

Paragraph A. These attractive birds live near rivers. They eat frogs and other small animals. The species is endangered because the birds cannot find enough food any more. Cities are getting bigger and bigger, and humans destroy their natural habitat.

Paragraph B.If we don't stop the pollution, the temperature will rise further. If the Earth gets hotter, it will have dramatic consequences. If we don't act now, it might be too late.

Paragraph C. First, we must introduce new laws to stop deforestation. The laws should say that big companies that have earned millions from producing paper have to invest some of their money to save the rainforest.

Paragraph D. Some people believe that having a wild animal in a cage at home is something special. This is why, every year, thousands of exotic animals die on their way to other countries and continents.

Paragraph E. First, we need to make sure that there are enough trains and buses so that people can travel to work on public transport. Then we need to let people know what will happen if everybody uses their car all the time.

Paragraph F. We need to do something now. If the level of the oceans keeps rising, many small islands will be flooded. People and animals will die. This will all happen for sure unless we all change things now.

Kashy Keegan always wanted to be a pop star and spent years trying to make it happen. In 2007, when he was 22, he wrote what he felt would finally be his big hit, a song called 'This Is My Dream', but it never happened. As the years passed, he started to give up on his musical career and found other jobs. In 2012, he decided to upload the song to a music sharing website called Reverbnation. He hoped someone might hear it and like it.

A few months later, he received an email from Universal Music in Hong Kong. They were starting a new TV station and they wanted to use 'This Is My Dream' as the theme tune to one of their shows. Kashy was really excited and made a deal for $5,000 to allow the TV station to use his song.

The TV station invited Kashy to come over to Hong Kong and perform. He accepted the invitations and was met by hundreds of fans. Everyone there thought he was a big star in the UK. He had to try and explain that back home, no one knew who he was. A little later, Kashy was playing the song live on stage to more than 30,000 screaming fans. After the show, he gave lots of interviews and signed hundreds of autographs. The next day, he saw his face in all the local newspapers and the song went to number one in the iTunes charts.

Two days later, Kashy was back in his job in London, but he is flying out to Hong Kong again soon to play his first live shows. His pop dream is finally happening.
