Today 6:30pm at Turners Memorial, let’s make a statement, a good size crowd for the photo will help our representatives have the courage to say no to more fossil fuel drilling and invest in positive renewables for the future.Transition Buxton proactively supports the transition to renewables and leaving fossil fuels in the ground to limit further damage to our vital environment. So we are pleased to support a photo opportunity on Wednesday 19 August at 6:30pm at Buxton's Turners Memorial. Glossop did one last week, now we've got the banner and its Buxton's turn. The more people who are in the photo the louder the message that it conveys. It'll only take 10-15 minutes. See you there!
