Act Together: Land Use and the Climate Crisis

This community talk in Brighton will give people the chance to express their feelings about the climate and nature emergency and what we can do about it.

Dr Helen Skilton, a health and biomedical science teacher, XR Scientist and XR Buddhist, will lead the discussion at the Friends Meeting House, Ship Street, Brighton at 2pm on Sunday March 26.

The event, called ‘Land Use and the Climate Crisis’, is free and open to everyone, including a talk on the climate emergency, followed by time for discussion in small groups, and free vegan food.

Dr Skilton said: “We all know that burning fossil fuels causes climate change, but did you know that up to a quarter of greenhouse gas emissions come from land practices? We’ll look at what we are doing to the Earth and if growing our food in the laboratory might be a potential solution.”

You will also hear about a campaign to unite climate, nature, and community groups, and bring 100,000 people together outside Parliament in London from April 21 to 24 this year. The campaign called ‘The Big One’ is calling on the Government to stop funding fossil fuels or granting new licences, but instead allow ordinary people to decide on a fair and sustainable transition to green energy.

The talk will include short testimonies given by two local residents affected by the climate crisis and you can find out ways to support the campaign - from posting on social media to talking to friends, creating art or music, doing admin and more.

Please book a ticket here, or it is also fine to just come along at 2pm on March 26th.

Dr Helen Skilton will lead the discussion at the event.

Come to hear the facts and find out what action you can take to change things for the better.
