It’s time to stop messing about.

Talk about it to people you know! Grow […]
The story of Eco Chichester’s sustainability journey Eco Chi, as we call it, is a varied group of people interested in our local, national, and international environment, and how to protect and indeed enhance it. Most of us are also very concerned about the climate emergency. Pre-dating our group were other environmental groups and looser associations, one […]

[Funnily enough, but perhaps advisedly as we had three hours ahead of us, we didn’t sample mojitos here] Our guide was Ana Fuentes, who gave us a general briefing before we set […]

The man himself introduced An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power, about the dangers of climate change, what’s happened since the first film, and some reasons to be hopeful.
