Inverness gets chance to call for action on climate change
Wednesday 9 April 2008
Highland capital is final stop on seven cities tour
The people of Inverness will have the chance to send the Government a message on climate change on Saturday 12th April, by signing up for a strong Climate Change Bill, when WWF Scotland visits the city in the last major event in its nationwide campaign on climate change.
Environmental group WWF will have an eye-catching stall in the East Gate Shopping Centre, opposite Marks & Spencer, from 10.30am – 2.30pm and will be joined by a polar bear character, to encourage people to support a strong Scottish Climate Change Bill and give away free energy-saving light bulbs.
Scottish Government proposals on a Climate Change Bill are out for consultation until Wednesday 23rd April. Saturday's stall is one of 25 events being staged across Scotland by WWF, where members of the public are asked to demonstrate their support for Government and Parliament to deliver a strong Climate Change Bill by signing postcards in support.
WWF Scotland's nationwide campaign appealing for signatures from now until the end of April has involved a seven cities tour of Scotland, as well as visiting farmers' markets and other events up and down the country.
Dr. Dan Barlow, WWF Scotland's Acting Director said:
"This bill may be the most important piece of legislation we will see in our lifetime. As a nation, Scotland can lead the way on tackling climate change – the biggest threat we all face. In the last of our visits to cities around Scotland, this Saturday WWF will be in Inverness to talk to people about climate change and the terrific opportunity they have to make a difference.
"WWF's events to date have generated a terrific response from the public. We have spoken to thousands of people across Scotland but our tour would not be complete without a visit to the Highland capital. With less than two weeks to go until the consultation closes, residents of Inverness will this weekend have a great chance to make their voices heard on the need for strong action to tackle climate change. So come along to our city centre stall to sign up for a strong bill and collect a free energy-saving light bulb."
