I am setting up LAMBETH CLIMATE ACTION GROUP(s) on Wednesday 18 October, 7pm onwards, at Brixton St Vincent's Community Centre, in Talma Road, SW2
It will provide a focus for people who want to find out more about Climate Change and do something about it whilst building their local communities. A localised world is part of the solution so building local networks is moving towards it. It will devolve into more local groups (eg Brixton, Vauxhall, Streatham and even possibly for smaller neighbourhoods of a few streets.) with a strong focus on counting and cutting our carbon emissions. I will be setting up a voluntary carbon rationing group (www.carbonrationing.org.uk ) People with a special interest such as having a solar panel or working with the local council will be encouraged to form small support groups to pursue these interests. The groups will be small and decentralised but will have the opportunity to come together for information, news, skills and resource sharing at the monthly meeting. The new Green Councillor Becca Thackray has been very supportive. We hope to hold future meetings in the Town Hall. In the past Steve Reed, my local councillor and leader of the ruling Labour Group has also been supportive and has initiated a Sustainablility and Climate Change Commission within the Council.
Climate Change is a matter of survival of life on earth. We can still chose to have a future. But we must ACT NOW. We must reduce our emissions very radically, very soon or it will be too late. Runaway climate change is less than 10 years away.
Presently we are running blindfold towards the edge of a cliff. We must rip off our blindfolds, and exert all our effort and influence to make the turn. 'Enough and soon enough' must be our watchword. Going over the cliff at an angle is as fatal as going straight on. And we will get no second chances. I do not overstate the case.
We must snowball our influence. If 10 people galvanised 10 people each who in turn galvanised 10 people ... we'd soon reach the critical mass we need for change. We must start somewhere, soon.
Come and help form the LAMBETH CLIMATE ACTION GROUP(s)
Please send this round your local networks. I can send you an A4 poster in pdf format if you email me: [email protected]. Please volunteer to help.
