North Lancashire Friends of the Earth has signed up to the environmental group’s national campaign “Get Serious about CO2”, which aims to get local councils to commit to an emissions reduction target of 40% by 2020 and set out a plan of action for achieving these targets.
As we previously reported, it’s estimated that if Lancaster City Council insulated buildings and fitted green energy in the Lancaster area, it could create 64 jobs as well as slashing climate-changing emissions.
To promote the Climate Change Campaign group will be in Lancaster’s Market Square this Saturday (18th July) from 10.00am – 3.00pm.
The campaigners will be asking the public to sign postcards calling on their local councillor to demand of and support the council in setting these targets.
