Redditch Friends of the Earth

Dozens of Redditch people have posed in a campaign to 'Get Serious about CO2'.

Find out how you too can tackle the causes of climate change in Worcestershire.

Many parts of the world suffer floods and droughts caused by climate change. Thousands of the poorest people are already affected, soon this could be millions.

We need to tackle climate change now if we are to prevent climate chaos in the future.

Friends of the Earth were recently joined by over 200,000 people to encourage the UK Government to cut CO2 by 80% by the year 2050. Guess what? We got that target!

We now need a serious commitment from Worcestershire County Council to at least 40% cuts in carbon emissions in our local area by 2020.

The UK adopted a law to tackle climate change in October 2008. This short movie shows how Friends of the Earth did it and thanks everyone who helped.

We are a local group of volunteers taking action on environmental and social justice issues.

Since 2001 we have worked to make the planet a better place for people.

We are one of over 250 Friends of the Earth local groups in the UK trying to make a difference to communities affected by environmental issues.

Our message is simple: "Think Global, Act Local"

(We helped introduce a law for doorstep recycling across the UK in 2004)

We are active on:  

• tackling the causes of climate change.
• promoting local food that reduces food miles and benefits our economy and animals' welfare.
• initiatives for low carbon communities.
• pushing for more sustainable travel options.
• promoting re-use, zero-waste culture and reducing the need for landfill.

Have a look around our website to see how you can get involved.
