Action on Climate Change to be taken in the UK

Submitted by Shynney on November 19, 2007 - 2:13pm

Prime Minister Brown spoke in parliament today about Climate Change and the actions he wants to see taken http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7101075.stm These are much stronger and more defined that we have had here before. He is taking a lot of flake in the media about many things since becoming prime minister so think this will make him even more unpopular with the side that does not want us to dwell on this subject. Very little has been reported on TV here today despite this important statement on the environment.

Much of what is in this bill was talked about at a meeting of Friends of the Earth UK that I attended in London in 2005 so I believe now, with this change of prime minister, they are being listened to. The Friends of the Earth have been campaigning for an 80% reduction in our carbon emissions by 2050 and this is what Brown today said that he wants. Think we need to give this new Prime Minister and chance and not listen too much to the people in the media who are constantly derogative about him as he seems to be sincere about this important issue.

Supporting the Message

Atraction's action communities are created to help people plug-in and engage after seeing our films. Help us continue our work and support the message by buying our DVDs, T-shirts or other cool things related to our films. The films we make are created to raise awareness and help foster change around issues of the environment, social justice, consciousness, health and well-being. With each film we launch and action community and conduct educational tours of the film to universities and schools. We also create teaching materials that help people dive deeper into the subject. By purchasing a DVD, or other things, you help spread the message.

Purpose

The purpose of this website is to inspire people to take action. We encourage people to take action at home and in their communities. On this social action website, you will see thousands of examples of what people have chosen to do to make the world a better place. We believe that when people see what other people are doing, it helps them take action too. So we ask that you open a profile, and tell us what action you are doing, perhaps you are going to plant a vegetable garden, or you are going to help start a recycling program at school, whatever it is, let us know and tell us how it's going. You can post videos, pictures and statements. If you need inspiration, check and see what people have done by looking on the action map or joining a group that has already started. Together, step by step, action by action, we can create a healthy and just world.
