POLITICS
It’s easier than you might think!
Engaging politically – through both voting and campaigning – can be a powerful tool for change. Success has led to both government and business taking action on environmental matters, such as the recent commitments from both government and business to reduce disposable plastics. Now the same needs to be done on climate change.
HOW
- Voting at local and national elections to support policies that will tackle environmental problems.
- Holding politicians to account at both the national and the local level.
- Engaging with campaigns for action on climate change.
