The contents of the box inspired by Lancashire Youth For Environment (LYFE), Sewing Cafe Lancaster, Eden Project North and Food Futures included craft activities to produce block print posters, clothes patches, paper planters, wildflower balls and letters for the future as well as advice on how to raise awareness of environmental issues through activism.
