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.

Over 30 at Kings Heath vigil

Dec 12th, 2009 by Chris Duggan | 2 comments

Over 30 people attended the candlelit vigil in Kings Heath to call for a strong climate deal at Copenhagen this evening.

Although it was only organised at three days notice, over 30 adults and some children braved the cold to stand outside All Saints church, to light candles, hand out leaflets, sing, chant, play percussion instruments, chat and laugh, including

Claire Prosser, D. Stamp, Jon Buick, Beth Fisher, Bob Whitehead, Shabdam Bailey-Bond, Kate Willen, Brian May, Oksana Carey, Margaret Healey Pollett, Helen McKiernan, Liz Peake, Rob Collett, Helen Cotter, Veronica, Jo Hindley, John Christophers, Chris Duggan, L Wild, Barbara Norden, Theo, Nicole, Vicki Squire, Oz, Chris, Helen Lloyd.

Thanks to Helen and John for the photos above. Beautiful photos of candles floating on the canal at the city centre event, we’re told a curious Canada goose may have burnt her tongue on a candle!

Special thanks to all who took photographs and handed out leaflets, to Vicki who got the thing moving, and to Oz and Margaret for their encouragement.
