With the Copenhagen climate summit in mind, this recent article (Copenhagen Calling- Quakers and the climate emergency)* in The Friend by Chris Walker of this meeting, draws on the Quaker testimonies we have considered in previous Green Living group meetings and calls for positive action.
Chris has also drawn attention to the following local 'controversy'
"Have you read about the climate change denier MEP who has criticised the Bishop of Leicester for being vocal on it? [The original 'article' *was in the Leicester Mercury and was also reported in the Independent]*
Green group may be interested in it/ want to write a letter to the Bishop in support?
