YOUNG MONEY CHALLENGE
Investigate
responsible
consumerism
To protect our planet, we must take
personal responsibility for the environmental
costs and consequences of what we
purchase and use.
Y
oung Enterprise is challenging young people
aged 11-19 to investigate responsible
consumerism, the impact consumer choices
can have on our finances and the environment,
and the different options we have for raising
awareness of an issue.
The goal is to create a Challenge2020 Portfolio, working individually
or in teams of up to four. Submit one of the following campaign
materials by a deadline of Friday 3 July 2020. After this date, you
could still try the exercise as a creative learning activity.

Food:
A poster, flyer or article to raise awareness of the financial
and environmental benefits of conserving energy
An article, blog or flyer to raise awareness of the financial
and environmental impacts of fast fashion
An information sheet, article or poster to raise awareness
of the financial and environmental benefits of reducing
food waste
You can submit up to two additional
campaign materials to support your entry.
See the Challenge Pack for full guidelines.
Do it from home
The challenge materials were designed to be delivered
in small groups or a classroom setting, but the home
environment offers new, exciting opportunities for learning. The
topics covered have explicit links to the family and the home.
Young people could carry out independent research to find out
more about particular areas that interest them.
Parents can help students find practical ways
to bring their learning to life:
Food: Why not involve young people in the weekly shop,
develop menus together or start a family food diary?
Fashion: Explore ways that unworn or old clothes could be upcycled
and have a go at it yourselves.
Energy: Work together to calculate the cost of wasted energy
and create a plan to reduce household energy waste.
Prizes: The overall winning entry will receive £500 for
their school/organisation. Each member of the winning
entry will also receive a £50 All 4 One Voucher. Two
runner-up entries will each win £250 for their school/organisation
and each entrant will also receive a £25 All 4 One Voucher.
