Make it easier to buy food with less impact on the environment.

Economy and the prevention of waste.

We are joining with the Climate and Ecological Emergency Alliance (Bristol), to demand action from our councillors. On current trends, our children will experience an unthinkable 3 to 5 degrees of global warming within 80 years! 2020 was the joint hottest year on record and the hottest six years on record have all occurred since 2016. The UK Government’s target is to go carbon neutral by 2050. But this is too late, because the world is set to exceed the dangerous limit of 1.5°C warming by 2040, causing irreversible harm and costing millions of lives. In fact, Government advisers also say that the UK is not on track to meet its own target. We call on South Gloucestershire Council to show leadership, by declaring support for the Climate and Ecological Emergency Bill (CEE Bill). In July 2019, South Gloucestershire Council achieved unanimous cross party cooperation and declared a Climate Emergency, setting out a strategy to be carbon neutral by 2030. The CEE Bill is a game-changing vehicle for positive action. It is a draft law which has been introduced to Parliament and already has the support of around 100 MPs. The Bill would ensure that the UK Government plays its fair and proper role in limiting global warming to the 1.5°C recommended by scientists. It would include our carbon emissions from aviation, shipping and international trade, which are currently ignored! It would set up a Citizens’ Assembly, representative of the people who make up UK society, to advise on the Government’s emergency strategy. We call on our elected representatives to work together again, in the interests of our future generations, and to show climate leadership!

Following this will increase the nectar available for pollinators tenfold. This increases food production and save money. 38 councils have adapted it and more are looking at this campaign.

The increased road traffic,but more importantly the emissions to come from this plant.As a country we are supposedly going green,why build this large refuse system so close to a large housing development and a large school.It seems to me that Corby is being used as a dumping ground.

29million homes still need to be retrofitted and the built environment sector (Transport, Planning, Housing, Health, Land Use) are all siloed in their approach in building/ retrofitting our homes/ communities to be fit for the future. The sector has never had a ministry to combine all of the thought leadership occurring across the UK instead it has led to competition across the industry rather than collaboration, preventing us from reaching our carbon zero target in 2050. This is the ideal way to create a sustainable pipeline of research and development to realise places fit for the future, creating jobs, creating economic, health and social resilience across the UK.

Because we have a lot of fun on these jumps throughout these tough times and it also keeps us away from the streets and vandalism

This is important because innocent animals die every year through plastic bottles landing in the sea and being eaten by large fish and sea mammals. The process of making the bottle requires the use of fossil fuels but the use of fossil fuels release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere which is warming the planet, changing the weather patterns which will lead to mass extinction of animals and plants, as well as, people being displaced from their homelands. People also are mislead by the way plastic bottles are not always recycled as well as they thought. By the banning the sale of water in single use plastic bottles people will be encouraged to use their own reusable bottles and water filling stations.

Higher levels of air pollutants can cause adverse health effects, such as respiratory symptoms, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. There is also the potential for water pollution, which could pose a risk to local residents through the contamination of their drinking water with hazardous chemicals. These power stations will also also cause an increase in CO2 emissions which is not acceptable in the present Climate Crisis. Unfortunately planning permission has already been granted for both power stations and cannot be rescinded. However South Somerset District Council's Climate Strategy team have agreed to contact Conrad Energy to discuss alternative solutions. Building new fossil fuel power plants of any type is completely unacceptable; we need energy solutions that are fit for the 21st Century. We urge Conrad Energy to consider the Climate Emergency and the health and well-being of local residents and adapt their plans to build battery storage sites instead, as the company has agreed to do elsewhere.

The Climate Change Act (2008) was passed after 412 MPs supported an Early Day Motion in 2005. This was a ground-breaking bill, but the climate and ecological emergency has been getting steadily worse. In May 2019 the Act was amended with enhanced targets, but there is still a long way to go. The Climate and Ecological Emergency Bill--the CEE Bill—would bring together a representative cross-section of British people in a Citizens’ Assembly. They would listen to experts, have thorough discussions, and report with realistic plans to limit climate change, biodiversity loss, and the injustices they cause in the world. These plans would be taken up by government. The Bill has been supported by nearly 100 MPs so far, and was due for a second reading on 26th March 2021, but is likely to be delayed after the Government suspended Friday sittings. Please join the campaign to get this law onto our statute books and to help protect life on our beautiful planet. ► Find out more at https://www.ceebill.uk/resources ► Join the Twitter storm on 26th February, the day when the second reading was previously due in Parliament

The threat from climate change and the human impact of humans on the environment is daunting. Much like the foundation of the NHS was based on the mutual aid societies set up by ordinary people, we need to support the organisation of local grassroots initiatives to save the planet, rather than just waiting for legislation and international agreements

The increase not over lockdown but THIS YEAR alone has blown, it occurs at LEAST 1/2 times a week at the moment. We need to not only support those struggling but try and prevent it as much as we possibly can.
