Story

 

  We have done it! 

 

Here we are on arrival in Copenhagen City Square. Our 140 mile cycle ride was emotional, exciting and utterly amazing, fortunately with no rain or snow. As a group of 28, we ranged in age from15 to 72 and were united in our passion for climate justice. We took part in an international rally and a moving ecumenical service. We watched as Desmond Tutu received 512,894 carbon-cutting pledges from around the world, including 322 from Crediton.

Although the outcome of the conference was very disappointing, we were impressed with the energy and commitment of the people who had come to Copenhagen from all over the world. Those from developing countries told us how global warming is causing  suffering in their communities. We are hopeful that eventually an effective agreement will be made.
