The Co-operative has teamed up with Oxfam and the Stop Climate Chaos
Coalition, to get as many people as possible to march through the
streets of London on Saturday 5th December to keep the heat on the
government for definite action on climate change.

The peaceful march called ‘The Wave’ will take place just before the
UN climate change talks in Copenhagen, where world governments will
sort out a new deal on how to tackle climate change in the future.

‘The Wave’ will call on world leaders to secure a fair and safe deal
to stop global warming exceeding the danger threshold of 2 degrees C
and for a low carbon future for both the UK and the World.

It’s hoped that around 50,000 to 100,000 people will turn up for the
march, making this the biggest climate change march in history. Anyone
taking part in the ‘The Wave’ is asked to wear blue clothing and bring
blue banners in order to create a human wave.

According to a recent government survey carried out by the Department of Energy and Climate Change, 50% of people in the UK do not think that climate change will affect them in their lifetimes with 18% saying they do not think that it will affect their children in their lives either.

Minister for the Department of Energy and Climate Change said, “Climate change is already happening and could have serious consequences for all of us.”

The other 50% of people surveyed said that they believed that by changing their individual actions they could make a difference to climate change.

Over 40% of the UK’s C02 emissions come as a result of people’s personal choices and by making ‘greener’ choices such as recycling mobiles or walking or instead of using a car we can all help to save the environment.
