Bake cakes, not the planet is the message Greenpeace is sending out this autumn. 

Greenpeace is an environmental organisation which campaigns to make the world a greener place.

They want their Flour Power campaign to

get people fundraising and spreading the word that the planet is getting warmer. Here at First News we think it’s a great message, whether you fundraise or not!

Baking cakes, biscuits or bread is a fun activity and you can share the end results with your friends and family. To find recipes that will help you use the ingredients you already have at home check out www.lovefoodhatewaste.com. There’s a great recipe for Fruit Bowl Buns on the site.

Anyone signing up to Greenpeace’s Flour Power is sent a recipe book with more baking ideas. If your family or school are interested in finding out more go to www.greenpeace.org.uk/what-you-can-do/flour-power.
