Do you feel the media sometimes misses the point? Wish it was getting the urgency of climate change?
As you may know, Greenpeace is a member of Stop Climate Chaos (SCC), the umbrella group of organisations working together to limit the worst effects of climate change. If, like us, you think the media could use some 'recharging' on the climate debate, join in to create a big debate in the media this December. Get the letters pages, opinion columns and airwaves buzzing with your views on climate change and the UK's energy choices.
Get your voice heard. Inspire others. Help shape the public agenda.
Tell the media you care what this country is doing to tackle climate change at home. Call on our politicians to kick start the carbon clean up at home and show leadership on the world stage at this week's United Nations Climate Change Conference at Poznan in Poland.
Speak up. Register NOW for the Stop Climate Chaos Coalition media action alerts from 1 – 7 December on www.rechargethemedia.org.
We’ll tell you how climate change is being covered in the media throughout the week and where you can influence the debate in newspapers, online, on the radio and in your local news.
How does it work?
Sign up here to Recharge the Media. Every day from 1-7 December, we’ll alert you to opportunities in the regional and national media to speak out on climate change and energy. You then take as many or as few actions as you want.
Right now for example, the government has a critical decision to make: to boost our renewable energy supply, or continue to rely on dirty coal power. The message for the media during Recharge Week will be that the prime minister must make energy from the sun, wind and waves his number one choice from now on.
At the end of the week, that will be it for this Stop Climate Chaos Coalition action – you won’t receive any more alerts BUT you’ll have helped create a climate buzz and hopefully be energised to keep 'recharging' the public debate wherever you can.
