00:00Well, can you just tell me what's going to be happening at the Climate Action Summit

00:03event and what the rationale is behind it, please?

00:06OK, so it's going to be a family day. There's going to be lots for the kids, crafts and

00:11activities and quizzes and so on going on. But there are also going to be lots of organisations,

00:16both voluntary and commercial organisations, explaining to us how we can perhaps make a

00:23difference locally with things like heat pumps, solar, car use, insulation for houses, but

00:31also how we can be involved in local voluntary works and the like as well. So it's very much

00:38about what we can do to make a difference to climate. It's not protesting, it's very

00:42much about action and how we can make a difference.

00:45And how important is it that we as individuals look to reduce our carbon footprint?

00:48I think it's essential that we all think about this very small thing that we can do.

00:54We can't influence the world events, but we can make a difference because every little

01:00percentage that you can put into it will actually gather into a greater thing and hopefully go

01:07to system change throughout.
