Burnley Climate Week is packed with exciting events aimed at promoting sustainability. It starts with the Low Carbon & Circular Economy Club meeting on September 30 at Prairie Sports Village. Here, businesses will discuss reducing waste and saving money through greener practices.
On October 1, Burnley College will host a student event focused on green skills and climate careers. This is a great opportunity for young people to learn how they can contribute to a sustainable future.
The week wraps up on October 5 with the Burnley Nature Festival at Towneley Hall, from 11 AM to 4 PM. Families can enjoy activities, browse stalls, take guided walks, and share their thoughts with the council leader.
Councillor Margaret Lishman highlighted the importance of these events. She said, “Burnley Climate Week showcases the progress our town is making in sustainability.” It’s a chance for everyone to participate in creating a cleaner and healthier community.
These initiatives come at a crucial time when more than 70% of adults in the UK now believe climate change is a serious threat, according to a recent survey by the Climate Change Committee. Awareness is growing, and events like these can inspire further action.
By participating in these activities, residents of Burnley can play an important role in the fight against climate change while learning valuable skills for the future. It’s about building a community that values sustainability and engages in practical solutions.
To get involved, residents can attend the events and share their ideas for a greener Burnley. Every small step counts!
