Protecting Our Planet
Ethos and Goals
We are an inclusive, grassroots, nonaligned group looking at both personal and local ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to mitigate and adapt to the climate & ecological emergency. We acknowledge the universal effects of climate change, and this influences our local actions/daily living.
Looking to actively engage others in the community to become more involved and aware of issues around the climate & ecological emergency.
Motivated by our judgement on the best available science and research that climate change & biodiversity loss is real and that everyone has to act now to reduce the effects.
- Inclusive: We want to work with all individuals and groups that share the common goal of reducing carbon emissions and the environmental impact of daily living and consumption.
- Grassroots: We are based within the community and wish to work with and influence our local community and community/regional leaders.
- Nonaligned: We do not align ourselves to any other specific group, remain neutral in politics & religion/world view and wish to cooperate with all who share these goals, as part of their remit.
Methods
- Events to engage with our local community to raise the profile of the climate & ecological emergency and what practical actions we can do to mitigate and adapt.
- Practical sessions to recycle, reuse and repair items to reduce consumption and adverse effects of throwaway society such as landfill/pollution.
- Practical events to look at sustainable living and nature friendly gardening projects.
- Links and visits with other groups that are working in the same sphere and sharing ideas and cooperative strategies.
- Engaging with younger generations to help them to have a voice and to facilitate their involvement.
- We meet on a regular basis – approximately every month – to discuss/ plan and then to enjoy events together & inspire each other.
