Our current campaigns focus on Climate Change, Energy and Bees. Climate ChangeCouncils have a big say in UK climate emissions - from how
we heat and fuel our homes to how we get around. If they get serious about climate change it boosts the local economy, creates jobs and slashes our fuel bills.
Bees We are currently campaigning to get DEFRA, the Government Department responsible for agriculture, to suspend the use of neonicotinoid pesticides which appear to have devastating effects on bees. We talked to the public at a number of local fairs during 2011 and sent a petition with several hundred signatures to DEFRA. DEFRA replied to this on 18th November 2011 - see their reply on our Bee or not to Bee page below. |
