• Dec. 15 by Rebekah Douglas (0)

Anti-climate change enthusiasts have been given another chance to show their support and share their opinions on the Copenhagen talks in Birmingham.

Birmingham Friends of the earth, alongside Chris Duggan from GreenBrum, hosted the Copenhagen canal vigil gathering last Saturday.

The gathering, which took place near Brindley Place, was open to any members of the public who wished to show their support.

The event began around 6:00pm and involved the lighting of candles with attendees stood on and alongside boats, dedicating the evening to their passion for positive results at Copenhagen.

Aldo Mussi from Birmingham Friends of the Earth was one of the various people who were present during the event. Aldo said:

“What was striking and pleasing was the number of members of the public who spontaneously decided to join in just as they were walking past.

This was a beautiful and poignant way for people of all ages to show how concerned they are about the effects of climate change.”

BFOE are also set to host a green Christmas Fair taking place this coming Saturday, which aims to encourage people to do this year’s festive season in true ‘green’ style.
