Hello All
Friends of the Earth have produced a Carbon Footprint survey which you might like to try…
http://shapeup.limequery.com/index.php shouldn’t take anymore more than 2 or 3 minutes if you’re a fast reader. Plus there is an option to receive free handy hints and tips too from Friends of the Earth on how to reduce your carbon footprint (should you need to).
Best Wishes, Tim.
The Call to Real Action (C2RA) is a grass-roots community response to Manchester City Council’s climate change Call to Action document. It is a report on what we as citizens as well as the Council should be doing to tackle climate change and address the challenges it presents.
Members of the TCM were involved in the production of the C2RA which was launched on the night of April 6th at Nexus Art Cafe in the Northern Quarter to a full house! As far a we are aware, Manchester Climate Forum is the only voluntary/community group to have examined and challenged a public authority’s climate change action plan in the whole of the United Kingdom, perhaps even the world. It is of course a work in progress and the on-line version of the C2RA shall be updated regularly. So please keep checking back.
We also welcome comments and views and hope that challenges to our work will allow for more thorough and robust climate change action.
On Tuesday the 21st April Transition City Manchester will be holding an open and pubic meeting at the Friends Meeting Housing to discuss what to do next. Transition is explained on pages 47 – 51 of the C2RA. Please come along – all are welcome.
C2RA is available here.
Best Wishes, TCM Team.
