Redditch Friends of the Earth

Dozens of people in Redditch have joined a new campaign for our council to 'Get Serious' about climate change.

Urging the county council to 'Get Serious about CO2', local people showed their serious faces at this year's Green Fair.

Real action on climate change is needed. Action that will create jobs, slash energy bills and boost the local economy.

We need a serious commitment from our local council to at least 40% carbon emission cuts in our local area by 2020.

Contact us if you would like to be involved with the 'Get Serious' campaign.

The UK adopted a law to tackle climate change in October 2008. This short movie shows how Friends of the Earth did it and thanks everyone who helped.

We are a local group of volunteers taking action on environmental and social justice issues.

Since 2001 we have worked to make the planet a better place for people.

We are one of over 250 Friends of the Earth local groups in the UK trying to make a difference to communities affected by environmental issues.

Our message is simple: "Think Global, Act Local"

(We helped introduce a law for doorstep recycling across the UK in 2004)

We are active on:  

• tackling the causes of climate change.
• promoting local food that reduces food miles and benefits our economy and animals' welfare.
• initiatives for low carbon communities.
• pushing for more sustainable travel options.
• promoting re-use, zero-waste culture and reducing the need for landfill.

Have a look around our website to see how you can get involved.

There's information on campaigns, our latest newsletter, what you can do to reduce your carbon footprint and links to other organisations.
