I am trying to raise awareness about a Bill coming to Parliament probably in early November. This is the Climate Change Bill, and the government is keen to see a weak version pass into law. A good Climate Change Bill would require annual monitoring of progress, the government is suggesting 5-yearly monitoring. A good bill would include international air travel, the existing bill does not. A good bill would set annual reduction targets, the existing one does not.

If the Bill is to be made better we need to press our MPs. You can do this easily through www.thebigask.com website. Please take a few minutes to send a message to your MP via this easy to use Friends of the Earth website
