One of BCCF’s aims is to try to prevent people from feeling helpless in the face of the considerable challenge of dealing with climate change, and to try to galvanise groups of local individuals and organisations into the action needed. This may include:
- Attending a public meeting to further inform yourself. We believe that knowledge is powerful.
- Signing and sharing petitions to demand legislation, for example, that favours renewable energy and phases out the use fossil fuels.
- Helping with BCCF stalls at local community events.
- Attending workshops such as Carbon Conversations which help individuals to take the steps to greatly reduce their carbon footprint.
- Writing to and meeting with local councillors. http://www.councillorsupport.bedford.gov.uk/mgFindMember.aspx?
- Writing to and meeting with local MPs.
