Help Save Our Planet

Many of us are aware to a certain extent, of climate change. This event is aimed at bringing us up to date with climate change developments and helping us understand its threatening and potentially disastrous effects. It will emphasise the urgency to act now to preserve our world for future generations and provide ways in which we can all help to reduce its effects. Everyone is welcome. The Speakers include Dr Amanda Maycock, Professor in Climate Dynamics and Principle of the Earth and Environment Institute at Leeds University, Schoolchildren from Marple schools, Nick Leslie from Stockport Council Climate Action Group, and Jonathan Atkinson from The Carbon COOP on retrofitting homes. There will be lots of stalls to offer advice on renewable items and services, and local children have been invited to take part in both an art and a journalism competition with an exhibition of some of their work. The results with prizes will be announced on the day.

Stop Press: Extra speaker – Prof. Terry Callaghan CMG, Professor of Ecology at Sheffield university and lead author on a report for the IPCC.

This is an opportunity to face the challenges that climate change will bring and plan together as a community to help save our planet.

Please come and joins us for an interesting and informative afternoon
