Message from the Geology Trusts:-
Hopefully you are aware by now that the new Geodiversity Charter for England is going to be launched at a parliamentary briefing on Tuesday 21st October. This is a significant national document that sets out the value of our geodiversity, the need to look after it and practical ways in which all sectors of society can help.
WE NEED YOUR HELP THIS WEEK. Although various government ministers will be attending the launch, there has been limited uptake by MPs. We need to spread the word as widely as possible. Therefore, I am asking everyone to PLEASE make an appointment and talk to your MP this week - most MPs are back in their constituencies at the weekends, and usually have surgeries on Fridays or Saturdays, and are pleased to talk to their constituents.
As their constituent, please tell them why geodiversity matters (make local links if you can) and ask them to attend the Charter launch from 2 - 4 pm on Tuesday 21st October at Portcullis House, Westminster. This personal invitation from YOU could make all the difference.
Click here to download the invitation letter and the charter as PDFs for you to use. (They are huge files so may take a long time to download) If your MP says yes, then please email Lesley Dunlop and Mick Stanley by Monday 6th October. We have to give names of those attending to parliament next week.
Thank you for your help. We want every MP there if possible, as the profile of geodiversity needs to be raised as never before. This one event is an extraordinary chance to educate our politicians. Please immediately pass this email on to any other colleagues who could cover another constituency and TAKE ACTION NOW. I cannot overstate the importance of this opportunity.
