Woohoo!

They cut two sentences from the last paragraph for space, which is fair enough!

“Meanwhile, the MEN can improve its coverage of these sorts of disasters by devoting one or two of the 15 paragraphs to the underlying context of the West’s carbon emissions.  And it would be great to see the MEN really covering the slowness with which Manchester is cutting its emissions and creating the “low carbon culture” mentioned in the Manchester Climate Change Action Plan (2009).  Perhaps the City Council’s new Executive Member for the Environment, Cllr Kate Chappell, could be interviewed? ”

MCFly says: How can we get a low carbon culture?  By having an engaged and responsible citizenry challenging the status quo.  How do we expand the number of active citizens?  By having a Council that genuinely consults (not rubber stamping, not after the fact) the population.  So please, sign this petition and then send it on to everyone you know who lives, works or studies in Manchester!  Ask the People of Manchester.
