Love the Planet

Last week I came across a campaign by the Climate Coalition which is, along with Stop Climate Chaos Cymru and Stop Climate Chaos Scotland, the UK's largest group of people dedicated to action on climate change. The bottom line is they want 100% clean energy within a generation.

To show support for this campaign they are asking people to turn their hearts green this Valentine's Day. You can do this in all sorts of ways but one is to make a green heart. So, that's just what I did at yesterday's craft club gathering.

It took me all week to decide what I wanted to save most and stick on the banner across my heart. In the end I came up with 'for the love of trees'. They are such miracle workers in terms of absorbing carbon, absorbing water to help prevent flooding, anchoring soil to prevent it being washed away in the rain (leaving behind a barren desert), providing habitat for about 50% of the planet's species... to name but a few.

Anyway, here's my heart.

Find out more here and have a very happy Valentine's Day!
