Too many climate campaigns?
Posted by annied in DECC, Oxfam, UNEP, WWF, campaign, climate change on 16. Sep, 2009 | 7 Comments
green.tv has featured campaigns by all of our partners and some non-partners soliciting action on climate change– from signing petitions to convince government leaders that they should not leave the Cop15 without a deal to individual action campaigns. And yet, we still aren’t doing enough. What’s the point of all these campaigns? Are there too many that we have now become saturated with climate change that we have been spurred past action to continued inaction? Has anything really changed?

Resplendent and energetic as always, Caroline Lucas critiqued Labour’s social policies at the opening of the day’s Green Party conference activities in Hove. Most of her speech focused on social policies– particularly taking New Labour to task over the bailouts and increased income gap between rich and poor. Though she took a swipe at the Tories too, “it is simply a myth to suggest that we must slash public spending the reality is we need
long term investment not sort term cuts.”
Oxfam at the London Aquarium, Ian Sullivan reflects

Friday is fish and chips day in green.tv’s technology suite. From about 14.00 onwards the room smells of deep fried satisfaction. Last week the following post went up on Oxfam’s blog: “Fish, chips, and climate change” by Ian Sullivan. He’s been gracious enough to let us republish it on our blog this week, for our own fish and chips Friday. Many of you may have missed it, already on your way to your long bank holiday. It was an original stunt and part of the TckTckTck campaign countdown to Copenhagen. Since we gave that other climate change campaign so much attention this week, we wanted to share the spotlight and remind you about the TckTckTck campaign, of which Oxfam is partnered with.
