Help!!
In just over two weeks time, the Neighbourhoods Scrutiny Committee of Manchester City Council meets to look at the “Annual Carbon Reduction Plan” for the City Council. Many people are planning to attend, but many others can’t (the meeting is held during work hours.)
MCFly is hosting a “pre-meeting” from 12.45pm at the Friends Meeting House. As well as mingling and networking, a report on bio-diversity by local campaigner and sage Dave Bishop will be launched. We will then go over to the Town Hall for the meeting itself.
We* need to make this event a success. There is MUCH to be done. If you have any time, even if it’s only an hour, PLEASE get in touch and we* will give you a list of jobs to choose from. It can be something that stretches you, or something that you can do in your sleep , as you see fit! You can see the beginnings of our list here.

Footnote
* Now that former MCFly co-editor Arwa has taken a massive pay cut rise and a slight increase in prestige (she’s working for some outfit called “Al-Jazeera.” I had to google who they were), “we” means me.

On a recent tour of the Town Hall annexe and Central Library, I noticed they still had fluorescent tubes for lighting. I asked why they did not have LED lighting, as they use very little energy. I was told the council would of like to but the Cost-Benefit-Analysis (CBA) did not work out. It is this antiquated thinking is the reason that the council has not moved forward on climate change and energy efficiency.
Aw, does that mean no more terrible jokes for the weekend? 🙂
Well done Arwa (assuming this isn’t another one of your cunning stunts), and all the best to her.
