Sustainable Crediton newsletter issue 130, November 2021
Welcome to the newsletter.
So much ground to cover this month with COP 26 dominating both
the news, and our thoughts and hopes for the future.
The most important news locally is the Town Council's response
to the climate emergency. On 6th of November, David Ramsden M.B.E.
will be presenting his thoughts on the climate and ecological
emergency. This will be followed on 6th of November by a major
event at the Boniface Centre, when everyone will have the
opportunity to shape Crediton's response to the current crisis.
Do come along: it's important to make your views count.
Best wishes,
John Craythorne, on behalf of Sustainable Crediton Core
Group

“So what do we do? Anything - something. So long as we don't
just sit there. If we screw it up, start over. Try something else.
If we wait until we've satisfied all the uncertainties, it may be
too late.”
