 Climate
Change is a huge challenge for the UK and the world, and Nicola is keen
to see protection of the environment taken more seriously not only by
politicians, both nationally and locally, but also by our local
community.
Nicola’s
Green Action Campaign, launched in Abingdon on the day local councillors
signed up to the Notthingham declaration on Climate Change, is designed
to raise awareness of the work that Local Authorities are doing to
create climate change strategies and to encourage their residents to
take an active part in tackling climate change by asking them to sign up
to 5 simple pledges in exchange for a free energy saving light bulb:
> I will
not leave appliances on Stand-by
> I will
recycle more
> I will change my light bulbs to low energy light bulbs
> I will
think before I buy—reduce my food waste
> I will walk or cycle journeys less than 1 mile and travel by public
transport wherever possible
To encourage
us all to reduce our Carbon footprint in these simple but effective
ways, Nicola will be continuing to take her Green Action Campaign to all
areas of Oxford West & Abingdon over the coming months.
Nicola
commented, “Climate change is a huge challenge, but together we can make
a difference. There are many small changes that we can all make, such as
switching to energy saving light bulbs and not leaving appliances on
stand-by, which are easy to do and collectively can have a dramatic
impact on the preservation of our Planet.”
