WHAT’S GREEN IN BIRMINGHAM?

Climate change (or climate chaos as some people call it) is a reality which will increasingly dominate the 21st century. As citizens of Britain’s second city, we can help create a city to be proud of, leading the way in reducing global warming to help save the planet for future generations.

If you’re looking for green products and services, green spaces, green initiatives and groups in Birmingham UK, start here. With your help, we can help everyone cut the carbon by pooling our knowledge on all the different initiatives in the city to cut CO2 and other greenhouse gases – and other forms of pollution.

GREENING BRUM:

If you are doing anything to help create a sustainable economy in the city, to preserve biodiversity, or to increase awareness of ecological issues, we want to know about it.

Sisters on the Planet film

Jun 18th, 2008 by Chris Duggan, GreeninBrum | No comments yet

The Custard Factory’s cinema in Digbeth was packed for the launch during the Climate Change Festival of Oxfam’s new film on climate change, Sisters on the Planet…

Sisters on the Planet is about the impact of climate change across the world, with a focus on developing countries, and particularly on women. This film is the story of four incredible women – Sahena (photo,
bottom left), Melissa (photo, above), Muriel and Martina – and the remarkable things they are doing about climate change in four very different parts of the globe – Uganda, Bangladesh, the UK and Brazil. (Photos coming soon!)

We urge you to watch this film and get others to see it by organising a showing – at work, at school, or in a community group of place of worship. It is a truly inspiring story of the link between climate change and social justice and some of the things that people are doing about it.
