Are you worried about climate change?
Join us, a group of local people, convinced that if we work together we will make a difference. Working together as individuals and as a town, encouraging and informing each other, we can make significant differences to our energy use.
To gather support for the project, Former Environment Minister Michael Meacher, MP, spoke to a packed crowd at Marlborough Town Hall in May, 2006. Meacher, who spoke passionately on the challenges we now face, said he was bowled over by the size of the audience and its commitment to action. Pledges and new ideas are still coming in.
Join us, along with other local businesses, schools, local councils and individuals, to make this happen!
If you haven't already done so, join us by making a pledge now. There is a support network for follow-up and further action and, by tracking our results over the next months, we will measure and publicise the difference we’re making.
Gina Cooke, Beck Dawson, Cyla Higley, Judy Hindley, Jo Ripley.

Monday Sept 22nd: European Car Free Day
Join us, along with other local businesses, schools, local councils and individuals, to make this happen!

Geographic information expert Mark Thurstain-Goodwin of Bath Transition Town will use data and mapping technology to assess what the possible solutions are but also signposts how climate change and flood risks need to be central to our plans.

ACTION
Please ask for a public inquiry about the application to build a new coal plant at Kingsnorth, Kent.
According to Dr James Hansen, Director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, if the Government allows this to happen, “it is demonstrating a grievous lack of understanding of the gravity and urgency of dealing with climate change.”
