County Voice: March 2021

Have your say on climate change

There is a new way to get involved with the climate and ecological change agenda here at the Council. We have launched ‘Discussions’ where you can share your views and ideas and get involved in a variety of climate and ecological change topics.

You can sign up to take part by registering for the Y Panel Climate and Ecological Change sub-group on the County Conversation web site. This will enable you to post a comment, reply to existing comments and also receive notifications when a new topic is ‘live’.

Discussions are message boards - like an online chat forum. We’ll pin up a message about a topic and you can post your replies, and reply to other people. There will be a new topic to get involved in every 4 weeks and each topic will remain open for discussion for 2 weeks.  

The first one was entitled ‘All Creatures Great and Small’ and focussed on discussions around nature’s recovery - as it coincided with the RSPB’s Big Garden Birdwatch which took place at the end of January. Did you take part? The Climate Change team submitted our results and our sightings included blackbirds, robins, house sparrows, starlings, coal tits, blue tits and woodpigeon. Quite an impressive list. The photo shows a blackbird captured by the wildlife camera in the garden of one of the team. Over 12 and a half million people have submitted their results to the RSPB so far. We hope you took part too!

This month’s discussion topic is on ‘Getting to your destination in a low carbon way’. It will be concentrating on travel and how you are doing that in a low carbon way. Perhaps you're not travelling as much as you used to? Many of us are working from home and staying more local now but many still have a need to travel. We'd love to know if you are conscious about your carbon footprint when it comes to travelling and what this means to you.

This is your chance to share your knowledge, have your say and engage with other like-minded people. Why not sign up to Y Panel at countyconversation.denbighshire.gov.uk and get involved? We can’t wait to hear from you!
