Fancy a WI trip to London on 21st September?

Hello,
WI Women and Climate Change Campaign
 I have received the following letter from NFWI. As you see the timing is too short to enable us to publicize the event in County News.
Can I ask you to liaise with Mary at NFWI Public Affairs direct, if you or members of your Institute are interested in taking part.
There is more information about the event on the Climate Coalition website.  http://www.theclimatecoalition.org

Best wishes

Dear WI member

Global Day of Action on Climate Change - 21 September 2014
The NFWI is supporting the Climate Coalition’s ‘For the Love of…’ campaign. The campaign aims to build a diverse movement of people supporting action on climate change in the UK by celebrating all the things people love that will be affected by climate change. From the food we love to the homes we live in, they are all at risk from climate impacts such as flooding and drought.

As part of the campaign, the Climate Coalition is taking part in a London event on the 21st September 2014 to coincide with the UN Climate Summit in New York. Simultaneous events will take place globally to demonstrate the scale of public passion for protecting our environment. The London event will include a march and a display of all the things we love that will be affected by climate change. We’ll be calling on David Cameron to show ambition and leadership by outlining the UK’s commitment to taking action to tackle climate change.

Come and join the WI for the event. WI members will be meeting near Temple tube (location to be confirmed) from 11am onwards with a ‘For the Love of… Brunch’ – featuring some of the foods we love that will be affected by climate change – before joining others from the Climate Coalition to walk to Parliament Square. If you’d like to take part in the celebrations, please contact the Public Affairs Department to register your interest. This is an open event, and friends and family are welcome.

 Please contact the public affairs team on pa@nfwi.org.uk or telephone 0207 371 9300 ext. 212 for more information.

 Kind regards
 Mary RobertsNFWI Research and Campaigns Officer
