On Tuesday Laura hosted The Living Rainforest and the Trust for Sustainable Living in Parliament.
The event was to celebrate 30 years of the The Living Rainforest Centre in Thatcham, which is run by the Trust for Sustainable Living, and to promote future plans for the centre over the next three decades.
The Trust for Sustainable Living has worked with schools in 117 countries to date and the event was attended by Grand Prize winning students from South Africa, India, and Japan.
Adding, Laura said:
"It was a great pleasure host The Living Rainforest in Parliament together with the Trust for Sustainable Living which supports their educational outreach. The Living Rainforest is a much-loved attraction in Hampstead Norreys and has seen over 2 million visitors since opening its doors (originally as an orchid nursery) in 1993. At the event, it was a pleasure to hear from the recent Grand Prize essay-winning students about the challenges of achieving a sustainable future.
A huge thanks to Karl Hansen, Executive Director at the Trust, for allowing me to host such a special event."
