A Monthly Publication

By Joy Webb, local organiser for Christian Aid.

If you attended the recent excellent exhibition in the Town Hall about The Wash and North Norfolk Shoreline Management Plans, you will know how climate change is likely to impact on the Hunstanton area in the next 50 years or so.  How do we protect homes and businesses, valuable agricultural land and sites of great importance for wildlife from rising sea levels and stormier, more unpredictable weather? 

In other parts of the world, people are already having to deal with such problems, and often they are the poorest people, who have contributed the least to the changes in the world’s climate.  That’s why Christian Aid is a member of the Stop Climate Chaos Coalition and why I’ll be taking the train to London on Saturday 5^th December to be part of The Wave, the UK’s biggest-ever climate change demonstration.  Just a few days before the crucial climate talks in Copenhagen, The Wave is our chance to show we care; a human wave of support for decisive action on climate change by world leaders. 

The march will assemble at 12noon in Grosvenor Square and we’re asked to wear blue, so the thousands of us will look like water flooding the streets of London!  Perhaps you remember singing at school or Sunday school: 

Little drops of water,

            Little grains of sand,

            Make the mighty ocean

            And the golden strand.

Why not come along on 5^th and add your voice, your “little drop of water” to The Wave?
