Ask your MP to vote for Climate and Nature

Followers of Greener Henley will be aware of Zero Hour campaign to support the CAN (Climate and Nature) Bill – and we’ve got a really crucial opportunity to push the Bill into the next stage on Friday 24th January, when it will be debated in parliament.

The CAN Bill is a parliamentary bill drawn up by scientists, academics and lawyers and would transform the UK’s approach to tackling the climate and biodiversity crisis, ensuring that Government policy is brought into line with the latest scientific advice.  It is supported by over 191 parliamentarians (MPs and Peers) across all major political parties, and has the support from over 200 scientists and hundreds of councils.  The campaign is also supported by over 500 organisations nationally including the Women’s Institute, Cooperative Bank, Wildlife Trusts, Oxfam, Ecotricity and The Doctor’s Association UK.

A number of very well-known Henley organisations have signed up to support the campaign including Henley Town Council, Hobbs of Henley, Brakspear, Henley Rugby Club and Ella’s Kitchen.

How can you help?

We just need 100 MPs to vote for the CAN Bill to get it to the next stage in parliament. Zero Hour have created an easy tool for you to email your MP so please do so now and share with your friends and family.

We know that in order to work towards a sustainable and zero carbon future, businesses require a strong legislative framework that embeds government targets in law, enabling them to plan and develop future trajectories to fit in with those targets.
