Oxplore – Are humans ruining the Earth?
Throughout this week, we are linking up with Oxplore, the University of Oxford’s ‘Home of the Big Questions’ to help you to dive into some of the biggest debates facing the world today.
Today, we are going to look in more detail at one of the most important questions that we face in the 21st century – are humans ruining the Earth?

After you’ve explored some of the materials on Oxplore, why not tell us what you think? Try writing a mini-essay setting out your thoughts on the question. Or draw a picture, take a photograph, or create a short video to illustrate some of the issues you have explored – be as creative as you like! Share with us in the usual way below.
