Stockport FoE News - Food Chain Campaign a priority this year
Stockport Friends of the Earth are calling on Government to revolutionise the way we produce meat and dairy.
Producing soy to feed animals in factory farms is having a devastating effect on South American rainforests and other important habitats.
We want Government to shift money away from the factory farms that hold the damaging chain together - and support thriving, planet-friendly farming.
Stockport FoE News - Scientists urge strong climate targets for 2020
Leading climate scientists have called on the Government to make quicker and deeper emissions cuts.
A new report by the respected Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research demands urgent Government action on climate change.
The report says the UK must adopt at least 42% cuts in carbon emissions by 2020.
It also says cuts must be made here in the UK instead of paying other countries to cut emissions then counting them as ours.
