Dear Sustainable Hayfield Supporter, Thanks to all who attended our screening of the People's Emergency Briefing to a packed hall at Hayfield Primary School last Friday 5th June. Whilst many of us are already familiar with many aspects of the Climate Change and Nature Crisis, the film brought home the sheer scale and urgency of these cascading crises. It also made clear that many of the solutions are already available to us. It is in our collective hands to adopt them.  It is time for us to take action, as laid out below.   1) Engage your MP. Ask your MP to join the Parliamentary Call for a televised emergency briefing via this link https://www.nebriefing.org/parliamentary-call and tell them why it is so important to you. 2) Tell your friends and family and encourage them to go and see a screening of the People's Emergency Briefing. Click https://www.nebriefing.org/screening-map to find your nearest venue. You can also watch the full briefings here https://www.nebriefing.org/expert-briefings 3) Sign the petition asking the Government to hold a UK wide briefing on the climate and nature crisis found here https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/767687#main-content 4) Did you know that one of the panel experts, Kevin Anderson, is part of our Hayfield community! So why not join us for his talk on the climate emergency on 17th July (venue TBC), where he will be sharing his expert knowledge at our inaugural Laurie James Lecture. 5) Take local action, either individually or as part of Sustainable Hayfield or the many other local environmental campaign and action groups in the area. We can achieve so much more if we work collaboratively together, and it is important for as many of us to take positive action as possible to create the political and social environment to enable the change we need. To join Sustainable Hayfield, please email sustainablehayfielduk@gmail.com to find out more, get involved in one or more of our action groups below or for support in launching your own sustainable initiative.  Sustainable Hayfield Action Groups:     Biodiversity Energy Food Transport (Buses, Boots & Bikes) Advocacy Reduce, Reuse, Recycle We look forward to working together moving forward!
