CLIMATE CHANGE What we in Longworth can do to
make a difference for our environment
Dear Fellow Longworth Residents, Everyone is
aware of the problems posed by climate change and
the efforts being made nationally and
internationally to combat them. Many cities in
the UK and around the world are making
commitments to direct action to reduce carbon
emissions by 20 by 2010, now only two years
away. It is not unreasonable to ask ourselves
whether we as a community can make a
contribution to this process. We in the
countryside need not be left behind! There are
lots of us and we can make a significant
contribution. To this end a group calling
itself the Local Environmental Network (LEN) has
been set up to promote a positive response to
this new challenge to our everyday lives. As a
start we have drawn up this leaflet. This
re-iterates easy ways for us in Longworth and
nearby communities to reduce, reuse and recycle
and make the best of local facilities. LEN

your 20.......
