Do you care about the future?

16 comments


Hi All

If you do please consider signing the RSPB’s "Letter to the Future’. By going to www.rspb.org.uk/letter

This is what the letter says:-

THE RSPB’S LETTER TO THE FUTURE

I’m writing this now to make sure our children have a chance of growing up in a
world worth living in.
Today there’s still time to save nature.
If we act now, our children may yet be able to share their world with sparrows
and polar bears, eagles and tigers. There’s still a chance that they’ll inherit a world
where the engines of life – the air, seas, rivers and forests – are healthy.
Where bluebell woods and rainforests won’t be lost forever.
Yes, I accept that recovery from recession has meant spending billions of pounds –
one way or another future generations will have to pay for this. The least we can
do is to use this money to create a future they’ll thank us for.
I want governments to invest in a healthy economy and a healthy environment.
As well as protecting jobs, I want them to tackle climate change and to protect
our seas, countryside and wildlife.
I’m signing this letter to show that I care deeply about nature and the world
we are creating for our children. In years to come I hope they’ll be able to
see that their world is a richer one because of the action we took today.
I’m hoping that many thousands of people will join me in signing it.
Together we can be a powerful voice for nature.
Yours in hope.

~already signed when I got an email from them a few weeks ago,plus there was one about birds of prey?
If you haven't signed up to their campaign against the Severn Barrage that is a must too~if that goes ahead it will flood the Somerset levels causing untold environmental damage when there are cheaper less damaging alternatives.
