Yesterday at Quernmore School a huge wind turbine was installed - very exciting for all children, and is the first in Lancashire and possibly the country ... This morning Fabian (age 9) pulled out of his pocket a crumpled piece of paper - "I got the builder's autograph!" Does this use of the established literacy practice of collecting autographs indicate that wind turbine erectors have entered the category of celebrities in the minds of our children? And if so, does this mean that saving the planet really is a priority for them? (or is it just that it's dead exciting to see a massive windmill being erected on your playing field?)
