Friends of the Earth has begun an online virtual march in support of its Climate Change campaign. To join you submit a short video of yourself which will be sent to your MP.
Public pressure is needed now as the government moves forward on its draft Climate Change Bill. The public consultation on it is over and there is now a clear challenge to convince the government on these three points:
* include international aviation and shipping
* agree to annual targets
* set an 80% reduction target for 2050
Friends of the Earth want to persuade politicians to make sure that the Bill is a tough one. A strong law will allow the UK to play its part in tackling climate change. And it would set an example that the rest of the world could follow.
