Following a request from the Riverside Labour Party, Cardiff Friends of the Earth gave a talk to the group on the 1st September concentrating on climate change, and, in particular, energy. The members were keen to hear how Cardiff Friends of the Earth thought that the UK government were doing and where changes are needed and improvements possible.

Cardiff Friends of the Earth were involved in a national day of action in support of the Big Ask campaign on the 5th April.

Friends of the Earth Cardiff is taking part in the national day of action for the Big Ask on Saturday 5th April. The event is to highlight the importance of including emissions from international aviation and shipping in the targets of the climate change bill. We will be taking to the water on Roath Lake from 12 - 1pm in pedalos and inviting local MPs: Julie Morgan, Jenny Willott, Alun Michael and Kevin Brennan; along to show their support.

Julie Morgan has signed EDM 736 confirming her commitment to a strong climate change bill.
