York Green Festival 2009

York Green Festival is a celebration of sustainable living, campaigning for change and a better way of living. We couldn't agree more. We were there raising awareness and getting support for the 'Food chain' and 'Get Serious on CO2' campaigns.

Fix the Food Chain campaign - change the deal behind our meal

Our food chain is broken, factory farming demands huge amounts of soy for animal feed. Forests in Latin America are cleared to grow it. It's not about getting rid of meat and dairy farming - it's about getting government to revolutionise it!

Getting serious on getting support - We tell York Council to Get Serious on CO2

We need to win commitments from local authorites (like York Council) and national government to policies that will deliver a 40% reduction in carbon emissions by 2020. The people of York want action!
