UK climate advocate joins MTV & European Commission campaign PDF Print E-mail

One of the UK Climate Advocates recently participated in “Play to stop – Europe for Climate” as part of MTV and the European Commission’s climate campaign. The Advocate had designed & implemented a pilot project to encourage students at the University of Nottingham to grow their own food. When interviewed the Advocate was given the opportunity to send a direct message regarding the importance & advantages of local food production & how polluting & expensive it is to eat fruit & vegetables from other countries. See what Sheridan Chilvers had to say here.
