Another summer over :-(

It's all over for another year - but what a (wet, muddy) summer. Over 110,000 of you amazing people signed our climate change petition - this will put pressure on world leaders to put the needs of poor people first when the UN climate change conference meets in December. Thanks again for all your support, you're all LEGENDS!

A huge thanks to all the Leeds festival-goers who signed our petition at the weekend. Over 17,000 of you did, your names really count, helping us to put pressure on world leaders to do something about climate change.

We were also at V Stafford last weekend with our little green camper. Thanks to everyone who added their name to our climate change petition sheets, which got a little damp in the constant drizzle.
