- South Lakeland Action on Climate Change
South Lakeland Action on Climate Change is a local group set up to promote awareness and action on climate change and peak oil. They do this in a wide variety of ways from traditional campaigning (supporting local wind farms, opposing Carlisle airport, lobbying councilors) to less traditional activities like running eco-fairs, holding mass cycle rides, bike festivals, talks, film showings.
Recent successes include:
- Getting four local districts on board with the Carbon Trust’s Local Authority Carbon Management Scheme
- Launching Transition South Lakes
- Successfully overturning a decision to stop a £400,000 cycle route by holding mass cycle rides and intense lobbying
- Getting around 700 people to attend our recent Eco-Fair
- Setting up and supporting a ‘Stop Carlise Airport’ umbrella group of local organisations that, so far, has stopped the airport from going ahead
Next Meeting Date: Every second Thursday of the month at the Castle St Centre in Kendal, 7:30pm
