The Big Climate Connection

Dear MP,

My name is [Insert Here] and I am writing to you today as a teenager who supports the RSPB and the Stop Climate Chaos Coalition.

I am very concerned about the threat of Climate Change, which represents the greatest long-term threat to the world's wildlife and habitats. I am writing this letter to show that I care deeply about nature and that I want to share this world with sparrows and polar bears, eagles and tigers. I want to live in a world where the engines of life – the air, seas, rivers and forests – are healthy. Where bluebell woods and rainforests won’t be lost forever.

On the 5 and 6 November people young and old from across the UK will be meeting with their local MPs as part of The Big Climate Connection to discuss the threats and impacts of Climate Change. I am unable to meet with you but feel passionate enough to write this letter to ask you to help with our fight.

Please can you write to Prime Minister David Cameron and Chris Huhne MP, Secretary of State for Climate Change and raise the following key issues:

International:

  • The Big Climate Connection will take place just three weeks before the UN Climate Talks in Cancun, Mexico. At Cancun, the UK government must support the establishment a climate fundto help developing countries adapt to climate change, develop their economies in a low carbon way, and protect their forests, which are massive stores of carbon as well as being extremely rich in wildlife.

National:

  • Introduce a new law that would cap the amount of carbon dioxide power stations using fossil-fuels could produce. This would require them to develop ways to capture and store some of the harmful emissions that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere to contribute to climate change.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read this letter, and I hope you will be able to take action. With your support as my representative in Parliament I am confident that together we can win the fight against climate change and help people and wildlife around the world to have a bright future.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours Sincerely
