Abingdon Carbon cutters: CLIMATE RUSH is coming to Oxford this weekend

About us.....

Abingdon Carbon Cutters is a Community Action Group formed to help reduce the carbon footprint of Abingdon in response to climate change, and to promote a sustainable and resilient lifestyle for our town as fossil fuel stocks decline. We meet on the third Wednesday of each month at St Ethelwold's House, which is here.

At some meetings, we have guest speakers to present various topics, and at others we discuss our own personal actions to address climate change. The group has a focus on encouragement, both of one another, and of the town community.

CLIMATE RUSH is coming to Oxford this weekend

Dear Carbon Cutters, Please see below for exciting events in Oxford this weekend! Guardian report http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/blog/2009/sep/04/climate-rush-horse-cart
Climate Rush on the Run, is a horse-and-cart tour designed to raise awareness and get people involved with campaigning to reduce emissions for climate change.. At least two of the campaigners – Tamsin Omond and Deborah Grayson – have form. Tamsin was one of the five up on the Houses of Parliament last year, while Deborah is still awaiting trial after supergluing herself to a statue inside the Houses of Parliament. They have the support of plenty of other campaign groups too,

Dear all,
