Community Energy is the big green elephant in the room...so why do so few people know about it?!

Our @IpsosUK poll shows that only 1% of British adults know 'a great deal' about #CommunityEnergy.

So we've come up with a campaign to spread the word!

[Greta Thunberg @GretaThunberg]

Climate strike week 278. The final outcome of #COP28 is not a “historic win”, it is yet another example of extremely vague and watered down texts full of loopholes that in no way is even close to being sufficient for staying within the 1,5° limit and ensure climate justice.

[Greta Thunberg @GretaThunberg]

Phasing out fossil fuels is a bare minimum. We need drastic immediate emission cuts and binding commitments from the largest contributors of the climate crisis to finance loss and damages, adaptation and a just transition in the most affected areas.

Homelessness and rough sleeping is not a lifestyle choice.

The Home Secretary's recent comments on this issue are deeply unhelpful & misguided. Instead, the UK Government should double-down on tackling the housing crisis.
