Join us this September, as millions of us walk out of our homes and workplaces to join young people in the streets for the biggest global climate strike yet.
Our house is on fire. The climate crisis is an emergency but we’re not acting like it. Invite your colleagues, friends, family, clubs, and community. We need everyone.
Friday 20th September marks a day of international climate action and strikes, led by the student activist Greta Thunberg and the Fridays For Future movement.
Transition New Mills are joining the strike and inviting all local people to take part in a 'Day of Positivity.’ We’re now able to announce the climate-positive activities we have planned throughout the day. Whether you join us for a single event or take part in several throughout the day, there’s something for everyone and we hope that people will get involved in as many of the activities as they can. It’s all about appreciating our natural environment, as well as positively joining together and socialising on the day of the climate strikes.
