Women campaigning for a greener world

We have one more partner, Education Centres Association, ECA, with whom we are doing an Alice Hawkins project linked to starting a course in Community Journalism. Awaiting funding info on that. ECA is doing a national campaign pledge similar to WEN which LHERday has already signed up to- Every Action Counts.

I would like to harness women’s creativity to come up with some really great ideas for how we can all improve our local environments. I already got some out of the workshop and I’ll be adding them soon.

Do we need to think about some kind of high profile, ORIGINAL launch event, I think it needs to be joyful, full of hope and the great potential that arises when women work together. I think it would be the first multi ethnic environmental event – I think we could get coverage on Woman’s hour.

Penney said: I would really like to see Patricia involved and see if she would be up for recruiting other women MP’s half a dozen would do for initial stuff. I know MP Joan Walley quite well and think she would do it. Also Caroline Lucas green MEP (and a co-WEN matron) should also be persuaded.
