Environmental News - Sunday, April 15, 2007


The LBC hosts an environmental group that meets every month to work out the practical steps we can continue to take in protecting the environment.
Currently the group is promoting, 'The Big Switch' - A project to encourage people to move to renewable energy sources.
In the wider community the group is working closely with TELCO on an environmental project with local schools, bringing awareness of climate change and how it can be combated.
Recently, on the 1st of March this year The LBC reached out into Leicester Square for a combined fundraising meditation lesson and film screening of 'An Inconvenient Truth', at the Prince Charles cinema. The film has successfully brought awareness to the potent topic of climate change. When combined with the practice of meditation, the issue becomes grounded in compassionate action and altruistic intention; moving away from a tendancy to get bogged down in fear, blame and a denial of our effects on the world around us.
