Candlelight vigil for Copenhagen talks - 12th December 09

A candlelight vigil was held on Saturday 12^th December outside East Croydon Station to highlight the need for a strong climate change treaty to be agreed in Copenhagen.

Members of Croydon Friends of the Earth were joined by other local environmentalists, including members of Croydon Greenpeace, as well as by Croydon MP Andrew Pelling and Councillors Gavin Barwell and Richard
Chatterjee.

The vigil was part of the World Wants a Real Deal global day of action on climate change organised by the TckTckTck campaign, and was one of over a thousand vigils taking place in over a hundred countries across the world on the same day. Its aim was to call attention for the need for rich countries to agree to strong cuts in their greenhouse gas emissions and to help poor countries develop cleanly and adapt to that climate change which cannot now be prevented.
