Energy and Climate Campaign
Climate change is the greatest threat facing the planet and mankind is contributing to this danger by burning fossil fuels. Energy reduction is
therefore vital to safeguard our planet.
Richmond and Twickenham Friends of the Earth has campaigned for many years on climate issues including:
- Showing households how to reduce their energy waste
- Demanding that the government sign up and adhere to international climate treaties
- Highlighting companies, like Esso, that have not faced up to their responsibilities to the climate and asking people to boycott them
- Getting Richmond Council to consider the energy implications of their policies
- Explaining the links between airport expansion, increased air travel and the damage to the climate
