What do we do?

Camden Friends of the Earth is part of the wider network of Friends of the Earth local groups. We work across the Borough of Camden to lobby Camden council, MPs, businesses and organisations. We get out on the street and campaign via our computers, take part in working for positive action with other local groups and talking to local people at community events.

Our campaigning at festivals and conferences around the country in the in the Big Ask campaign helped bring a Climate Change Bill to Parliament. This led to the Climate Change Act being made law in November 2008. We have also organised two food festivals in West Hampstead; our anti-plastic bag campaign appeared on the BBC; and we have an ongoing dialogue with Camden Council to advise on environmental issues.

Our current campaigns for 2010 are ‘Get Serious on CO₂‘ and ‘Fix the food chain’. Read more on our campaigns page.
