01.12.10: Join the march for a zero carbon Britain!
On Saturday 4th December, Hackney and Tower Hamlets Friends of the Earth will be joining in the National Climate March 2010. The march is part of a global day of action on climate, on the Saturday midway through the UN climate talks in Cancún.
The march is a vital way of showing our government how deeply we care about the need to act on climate change, and that it is their responsibility to act now to protect people and the planet into the future.
Join us! We'll be meeting at 11.45 on the corner of Green Street and Park Lane, just round the corner from speakers' corner. Do email to let us know you're coming!
