Knit A Green Heart For Climate Change Awareness!

The Climate Coalition is raising awareness of climate change and this February you can get involved in the Show the Love campaign

“Along with our sister organisations Stop Climate Chaos Cymru and Stop Climate Chaos Scotland, The Climate Coalition is a group of over 130 organisations — including the National Trust, Women’s Institute, Oxfam, and RSPB — reaching across the UK to show our love for all the things we want to protect from climate change and asking politicians to put aside their differences and commit to doing whatever is necessary to protect them,” explains Lorena Vila, Campaigns Executive at The Climate Coalition.

Every February, the organisation runs its Show The Love campaign, which is represented by the green heart motif. The green heart encourages people to think about the things they love that could be at risk due to climate change. “It’s is an annual celebration of all that we love but could lose to climate change,” says Lorena. “Together we can protect the people, places, and life we love by encouraging world leaders and the UK Government to shift to clean and secure energy within a generation.”
