Dear All,
As part of the National Week of Action on Climate Change, Bath Oxfam and Bath Friends of the Earth are joining forces to run a stall in Green Park Station asking Bath residents to pledge for a Climate Bill with Bite.
And we need YOU to help us run the stall! If you have half an hour to spare on the morning of Saturday 5th April, we'd love you to help us out!
We'll be handing out literature informing people about the bill & the amendments which are necessary to make it work, as well as asking them to sign a4 pledges which we'll be handing to Don Foster to take to Parliament.
You don't need to know a lot about climate change - everything will be provided for you - and you may find you learn something new along the way as well as getting the chance to grab some goodies at the Farmers Market!
We'll even have our own personal Gordon Brown - blindfolded of course as his government seems to want to hide from the strong action it needs to take. Thankfully, Don is far more supportive and will be pushing the government to step up to the mark when the Bill is voted on - nice one Don!
If you can give some time, do please get back to me on oxfambath@yahoo.co.uk. The more the merrier!
See you soon
Janine

Five eminent speakers with different backgrounds and experience have agreed to be on the panel for a debate on Climate Change, in Bath Abbey on Tuesday, 29th April, with the title: 'CLIMATE CHANGE: What is happening? What can we do? Can Bath become an eco city?'
The evening has been organised by Churches Together in Bath to give people of the city a chance to hear authoritative views on this, the most urgent issue of our lifetime. The speakers will summarise the present state of the climate change debate, and give their views about what organisations and individuals need to do to respond. In particular there will be discussion about how Bath can move towards being an ‘eco city’ following the example of ‘Transition Towns’ Bristol and Totnes, amongst many others.
Speakers will include Professor Anil Markandya of Bath University; Martin Palmer, Director of the Alliance of Religions and Conservation; ecological campaigner Andrew Pendleton, Climate Change Adviser, Christian Aid; and Sarah Pugh, working with ‘Transition Bristol’. The chairman will be Rev Roger Nunn, Executive Secretary of Churches Together in Bath.
The debate will be at 7.30pm, in Bath Abbey; entrance will be free, but there will be a retiring collection to meet expenses.
People from all walks of life and outlooks will be welcome, but particularly members of churches, and it is confidently hoped to fill the Abbey, as for the long-remembered debate on ‘Should we invade Iraq?’ in 2002.

Organised by Carfree UK and the University of the West of England, the conference will focus on Ecotowns, urban regeneration, and healthy cities. Carfree neighbourhoods have been appearing across several European countries in recent years, but ‘carfree housing’ in the UK has all been small in scale, so far. Rosie Winterton, Minister of State for Transport and Markus Heller, a German architect with experience of carfree
communities in Germany, will be speaking and answering such questions as: What are carfree neighbourhoods? How do they work in other countries? What advantages and problems do they bring? Is the UK market ready for such innovations?
