Visit ACT at Newton Abbot Fayre<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We will be setting up a stall at this event on Saturday August 26th in Courtenay Park and would love to see you there. Both Wildlife Wardens and Carbon Cutters will be there with a range of exhibits, games and a quiz so come and test your knowledge, or just to chat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interested in lending a hand?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are looking for people who are keen to take action on climate change by helping out at events we run or attend. This could include suggesting marketing messages we can send out, or talking to and\/or listening to people. We plan to set up a group of willing helpers who will inspire each other! Please note you don\u2019t need to be an expert, just passionate about taking action on climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visit us at our stand on Saturday if you’d like to know more, or if you can’t get to that, please contact Kate<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you paint, write, dance, make music or sing?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We ‘d like to meet you! We aim to form a creative community group within ACT focused on inspiring more people to take action on climate change. Art in all its forms speaks to us in a different way from facts and figures. We need to communicate the urgency of acting on the climate and ecological emergency in every way possible. So if you have any artistic talents, or know someone who does, please contact Kate<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ACT events at Christow Village Hall<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were delighted to welcome ACT members in June to a packed evening featuring two events<\/a>. We started with a storytelling session, with panellists telling their stories of how the climate and ecological emergency affects them before everyone was invited to contribute. This was followed by a discussion on how to tackle the issue of water pollution, featuring three speakers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
