Stockport Friends of the Earth is a local environmental campaign group, taking action on local, national and international issues.
We see things differently. We see ideas, solutions, fresh perspectives, ways of living that will lead to a new, positive relationship between people and the environment. We see the wellbeing of the planet and the wellbeing of all us on it as being one and the same. And we believe that by working together we can make it happen.

Sign the Bee Cause petition
Why? Because we need bees. British bee numbers have fallen dramatically in recent years. And the way we farm our food and plan our towns and cities is making the problem worse.
With other pollinating insects, they're vital to:
Our food supply - they pollinate most of our fruit and veg
Our economy - without bees costs for farmers would rise, meaning higher food prices
Our quality of life - our gardens, parks and countryside
