"Just one Thing"
DO JUST ONE THING IN JUNE
This month we want draw attention to our group 'Don't Forget the Grandchildren'. Social media and its use and abuse is very much in the headlines at the moment. For June we want to bring your attention to games and resources that you can introduce to your grandchildren, great nieces and nephews and young friends. Under the climate information tab above is 'Children's Resources' which not includes an extensive book list but also has a list of youtube and itnernet resources including fun games to play. Why not have a look with a young relation of yours and see if something grabs their fancy.
24.06.26 Some good news for our grandchildren: Parliament passed the UK's Seventh Carbon Budget into law by 332 votes to 94. This mandates an 87% reduction in Greenhouse Gas Emissions from 1990 levels, and covers the period 2038 to 2042. Do you want to contact your MP and thank them for voting for, or complain if they voted against? Mention OGC if you do. The list of which MPs voted which way is here.
From now on, emissions reductions will depend far more heavily on changes across the wider economy, including the everyday economic activity of all of us. Despite the current controversies (and misunderstandings and lies) around “Net Zero”, we must maintain coordinated action. For the full text of the report read here . The Report summary takes five minutes to read.
WERE YOU THERE? (above) Tens (hundreds?) of thousands went on the Together Alliance march on 28th March in London. At times it was a tight squeeze.
