Drumming Home a Message About Climate
The 26th UN Conference of the Parties (COP26) for world leaders will take place in Glasgow in November to tackle the ever-worsening climate crisis. This is make-or-break and will determine all our futures.
We want to send a message from Ambleside and district to impress leaders with the urgency of our situation and to insist that they take firm and decisive action to stop further warming.
So, Ambleside Action For A Future is joining with others such as Oxfam, the WI and Friends of the Earth in the Climate Coalition to hold this event as part of the Great Big Green Week.
We will be having the amazing Taiko Drummers to pound our message home in Rothay Park.
Bring your picnic tea at 5.00. If you’re bringing children they will be able to write or draw the things they treasure and want to protect, and we’ll send these to the Prime Minister. They might also like to bring along a pan and a spoon or something to use for a drum.
Around 5.45 the Taiko Drummers will perform interspersed by some of the messages we want our government and the governments of the world to hear.
