Guide leaders hope badge has 'ripple effect' on others

Manx Girlguides are striving to save the environment for the next generation, with a new Biosphere badge.

They'll be planting trees, volunteering with charities like Beach Buddies and spreading the message to use less plastic, to achieve the badge.
