JanineOne of our fabulous editors, Natalie Tharraleos, attended a Climate Action Leeds event in January:
I attended my first online Neighbourhood based Climate Action Network event in January.
I have to admit I wasn’t expecting much- my view of online events is that they won’t be very engaging! However, it was really interesting and enjoyable, with lots of interactive ways to connect, discuss and come up with actions to look at the issues on our doorsteps.
A great way to move from feelings of panic and overwhelm that can easily take hold when thinking about what’s happening to our planet to rising faith that together we can do a fair bit, dream big, hope big, and get busy doing what we can- AND have fun along the way.
My favourite question of the session, and one to take away:
” What does my neighbourhood need from me in 2023?”

And a massive thank you to Debbie and Sue for a creative, fun online meet up.
