Climate Week 2011
|
On 21-27 March 2011, thousands of organisations all over the UK will promote action on climate change. Here in Suffolk we want to encourage your workplace, community or school to run an event for Climate Week. Climate Week is a supercharged national occasion that offers an annual renewal of our ambition and confidence to combat climate change. It is for everyone wanting to do their bit to protect our planet and create a secure future. Climate Week will shine a spotlight on the many positive steps already being taken in workplaces and communities across Britain. The power of these real examples – the small improvements and the big innovations – will then inspire millions more people. Thousands of businesses, charities, schools, councils and others will run events during Climate Week on 21-27 March 2011. They will show what can be achieved, share ideas and encourage thousands more to act during the rest of the year. You can help create a massive movement for change by making Climate Week happen where you are. Your organisation can use this national occasion to showcase its own environmental activities, offer leadership and engage people such as customers, staff, members, funders, local residents, the media or the public What you can do now 1.
