Climate Matters

The Climate Matters group studies the current state of the Earth and what actions can be taken, both globally and as individuals, to prevent damage to the environment, and use of the Earth's resources.

The group has discussed many topics such as "Home Energy Efficiency", "Biodiversity" and "Reduce, Repair or Recycle". We have also visited a materials recycling facility and a trolleybus museum.

The group is a member of the National u3a Climate Change and the Environment Network.
