The Big Ask - save the planet
Friends of the Earth are running this campaign to try and persuade
politicians to do something about climate change. This is an issue I
feel quite strongly about. I want my kids to have a decent planet to
live on.
They are trying to get MPs to support a motion that will require annual
reductions in carbon dioxide. We can all do little bits individually,
but there needs to be more action at higher levels.
If you go to their
site you can sign the online petition and/or send an email to
your MP. It's very quick and easy to do.
The campaign features Thom Yorke of Radiohead. I admire his music,
but have to say he is not the best public speaker I have heard.
Maybe he wants to be the next Bono/Sting/Geldoff. I don't support an
issue just because some singer shouts about it, but I guess that all
publicity helps.

The follow-up to this is that I got a reply from our MP, Alistair Burt (Con), thanking me for my letter and stating that his party were doing their bit for climate change. It looks to me like they had something prepared for this campaign, but at least I have let him know how I feel. I'm unlikely to ever vote for a Conservative, but this is not an issue that any party should be able to claim.
ReplyDeleteLet the impact of initiated destruction continue till it comes to a stand still, in some decades, but at the same time buffering with revitalizing ecosystem and avoiding any future complications is the solution. Now, we are worrying too much on human race fate, they will survive evolving as time progresses, things to be concerned is the resources they will utilize from other living creatures.
