All the children are on a mission to raise the awareness of energy issues to Birmingham citizens and hope their words will inspire the young generation in particular, to think about their environment and ways of saving energy and the planet.

The Lord Mayor of Birmingham said: “This is a remarkable project. The Housing Education Initiative has been extremely successful in bringing young people together to transmit the energy efficiency message. What a wonderful way to spread the message – through song.”

Working with the City Council’s Housing Education Initiative and CAN UK (design, media and communications company) children as young as nine are promoting the benefits of saving energy through the development of an eco educational website and pod casting radio station.

The Solar Panel Sisters

Family Housing Association (Birmingham) Ltd are sponsoring the launch after contributing to the set up of the Eco Radio which linked to the Summerfield Eco Neighbourhood project. This project is the first of its kind in the city with solar panels being fitted to 250 properties and the Eco Radio is the perfect opportunity for young people to get involved and promote green issues to local residents.

Lee Martin, CAN added: “As a media company we are always keen to demonstrate how new technology can be used to harness and express issues that effect young people and their communities.”

On the day fans will also have an opportunity to meet Eco Radio presenters and the cast of Eco Hill, the first radio soap with a green message.

Artists and songs on the CD include:

The Solar Panel Sisters – ‘Make Our Generation Proud’ from St. George's School

Renaye - ‘Our Planet’ from St. John's School

Shannon – ‘Living In An Eco Neighbourhood’ from The Oratory School

Rowena – ‘Can't Think About Tomorrow’ from St. Patrick's School
