Campaign urges candidates to Act for Climate

Friends of the Earth has launched a campaign urging election candidates to support a law to reduce Ireland's climate pollution. A new website, actforclimate.ie, enables the public to email their local candidates asking them where they stand on climate change and will they support a climate protection law if elected to the Dail. In the short time since the site went live, voters in 38 of the state's 43 constituencies have contacted their candidates to say that climate change is an important issue to them.
