[[link removed]]CAMPAIGNS UPDATE
July 2022
Dear John
The government was due to make a final decision on the Cumbrian coal mine by 7
July. But in what has been a tumultuous week in Westminster, the decision has
now been delayed [[link removed]] .
Burning coal is disastrous for our countryside, communities and the ever-growing
climate emergency, which is why we've continued to campaign against it.
Last week, we asked you to tweet Boris Johnson about the absurdity of the
Cumbrian coal mine. So far, over 1,600 tweets have been sent - thank you for
taking action!
In other campaign news, did you know that over the last year, you've helped our
campaigns reach more people than ever before? Find out more in our annual review
of 2021-22 which is now available to read on our website.
Finally, as we hit the peak of summer, we hope you can find some time to enjoy
the sunshine in your local countryside or green space.
Read on for what to look out for on a countryside walk in July, stories of
campaigners stepping up to protect their local green spaces, and more.

CUMBRIAN COAL MINE DECISION DELAYED
It's frustrating that the decision on the Cumbrian coal mine has been kicked
down the road, but we're not giving up now. We'll continue to campaign to stop
the Cumbrian coal mine from going ahead and will update you on further
developments as soon as we get them.

TAKE PART IN PLASTIC FREE JULY
This month, why not take part in Plastic Free July, a global movement that
millions take part in to help be a part of the solution to plastic pollution?
Our recent research indicates that we waste 126 empty containers a year
[[link removed]] – 40% of which are plastic bottles, which is why we’re continuing to call on
the government to implement a Deposit Return Scheme (DRS).

mysterious spiritual sites that are just as inspiring as Stonehenge!
