SWITCHED-ON youngsters are urging you to switch off for one hour for the sake of a greener future.

Green-thinking pupils at Shamblehurst Primary School in Hedge End have launched their Switch Off for One Hour campaign to get more people thinking about saving energy.

To kick things off, students took part in a day of activities, learning about the easy ways to reduce their carbon footprint and how to be greener.

Pupils also took part in a presentation, telling their teachers how they believe their school can change to reduce energy waste.
