Description
The Climate Coalition, the UK’s largest group of people dedicated to action on climate change, launched their “For The Love Of Climate” campaign in the run up to COP21 in December 2015 and it is still worth supporting now. They have 11million supporters through a network of over 100 organisations from environmental and development charities to unions, faith, community and women’s groups. Craftivists and craft lovers around the world (not just the UK) would be a good addition and Clare Fussell, Campaigns Manager at The Climate Coalition, agrees:
“Unless world leaders know that people from across the world with different passions, hobbies and backgrounds all care, they won’t have the mandate to take strong action on climate change. We all need to be climate changeMAKERS.”
