Five positive climate stories from 2020 to spread some festive cheer at this difficult time
Dear , It's been a challenging year for everyone but as it comes to an end, we would like to thank you - our valued partners and faithful followers for your continued passion and commitment to climate, even in the face of extreme adversity. As a thank you for all your positive actions this year, we will be making a donation to St Mungo's Homeless Charity for each of our clients and partners. This is a charity chosen by our UK EcoActors that we have supported for a number of years. This year, during the pandemic, homeless people in the UK face a more challenging and uncertain time than ever before. We know that Christmas won't be quite the same this year and many of us are hugely relieved to be leaving 2020 behind us. However, in our final Ecogram of 2020 we wanted to reflect on five positive stories from this year and hopefully spread a little cheer this holiday season! Until next year, best wishes!
