Politicians

Open up dialogue with local politicians and your MP. Do they understand the crisis? Ask if they have read the 14 point summary of climate science, from There is No Planet B.

Seek training on how best to work with MPs from organisations such as Hope for the Future (A Rocha) or through regional offices of Christian Aid or join with others through Greenpeace to keep our environment at the top of the agenda.

Business Leaders

Contact your CEO/Managing Director (and other business leaders you come in contact with). What is their approach to sustainability and what are they doing in response the crisis? Encourage them to read There is No Planet B.

Retailers

As you go about your shopping, challenge them about unsustainable packaging, and the source of goods they are stocking. For example, when at the supermarket (and restaurants) challenge them where their food comes from (see My Actions), explain why this important and (if not right) ask them to change.

Petitions

Help support campaigns (sign-up to their newsletters) and join in with their petitions. Consider enlisting the help of friends, family and your church, to add their signature.

Justice

Get involved in campaigns that are working for a fairer global economic system and opposing unfair trade deals, such as Global Justice Now and Tearfund campaign Renew Our World. If you can’t do it yourself, then give, and encourage others.
