CCA Newsletter Issue 30

Picture of a Low Carbon Communities 350 bag

Hello Everyone, 

Our Newsletter has a circulation to over 300 email addresses and this month I am asking everyone who reads it for 2 hours of your time on October 24th. Why? Not for me, not for CCA, but for the future of our world as we know it. It is absolutely critical that the combined Governments of the World reach agreement to curb the worst excesses of climate change at the International talks in Copenhagen in December. If they don't global warming is likely to become unstoppable within the next 10 to 15 years and the future of the human race on this planet uncertain. Is that serious enough to warrant your attention and 2 hours of your time? With that 2 hours we can show the UK Government that the people of the Crediton area are serious about this issue and that we will support whatever action is necessary to curb climate change.

Please help. I am appealing to you. Please join us and be part of the massive worldwide campaign taking place on October 24th to secure our future.

We want a minimum of 350 people in Crediton Town Square on October 24th at 11.30am to take a photo for the press. Will you be one of them? What could be more important? Please put it in your diary NOW

Paula
