Unleashing the Power - Communities and the Environment

Yesterday Rt Hon Hazel Blears MP launched SERA's pamphlet 'Unleashing the Power - Communities and the environment' at an event in Westminster.

There has been a lot of talk from government and green groups alike about the need for individual action to tackle climate change and help the environment. But as a Labour movement, we know that working together as a community can have a greater impact.'Unleashing the Power' draws on Labour's traditional values of social solidarity and collective action, to explore how community groups, social enterprises, local authorities, neighbours and firends are joining together to fight against climate change and reduce their impact on the environment.

While we have highlighted some practical examples of communities in action, we'd like to hear about more - please leave a comment or a posting about your project or views on how communities can work together to unleash their power to tackle environmental problems.
