Talk Climate Change in Granton tonight
XR CLIMATE CHANGE TALK & DISCUSSION
TONIGHT at Granton:Hub 6 – 7.30pm
Find out about the crisis we are all facing at a talk and join the discussion.
“We can no longer stand by and act as if the future doesn’t matter. We face floods, wildfires, extreme weather, crop failure, mass migration and the breakdown of society. World leaders have failed to adequately confront this crisis.
“Extinction Rebellion is an international network using non-violent direct action to persuade governments to act on the Climate and Ecological Emergency. People of all ages and backgrounds, from school age children to 80 year olds, are joining in action.”
EVERYONE WELCOME
Wardie Bay beach clean this Sunday
This latest Wardie Bay Beachwatch, providing citizen science data to Marine Conservation Society, is in memory of an entangled humpback that marine life rescuers tried desperately to save.
Members of the Marine Clean 2019 group named the whale White Fluke (or Tynae), and they are hosting a Firth of Forth-wide beach clean on Sunday 16 June to encourage everyone to make our seas a better place. Ghost Gear – fishing ropes – weighed this majestic whale down like an anchor, cutting its fluke, until it was eventually too exhausted to fight.
Let’s join forces and help mitigate the harm our careless consumerism does to marine life!
