Cycling for Jobs, Justice and Climate! G20 here we come…

About

People and Planet is a student activist network which campaigns on world poverty, human rights and the environment. For more info, check out www.peopleandplanet.org.uk

Hundreds of people will be coming to St Andrews on November 7th to show the G20 finance ministers that we care about the decisions that they will be taking in our name. This is a crucial time –particularly in the run up to the climate talks in Copenhagen - to make sure they know what their priorities have to be if we are going to make a difference to the world in the current climate crisis.

We will be there to make our voices heard and join in on the rallies, marches and alternative summits which will be going on as the talks are on the 7th November. (check out www.g20standrews.org) for more info)

But what better way to get there than to cycle?!

The lowest carbon form of travel (apart from walking maybe…but we want to do it in a day…!). We want a challenge to show that we really care about what our leaders do with our planet and we want to spread the word, now is the time to act!
