 Roundhay declares a Climate Emergency
 
Leeds City Council declared a Climate Emergency in March 2019.   

In response to this the REAP stall will continue to encourage people to sign up for carbon reduction pledges for the Climate Emergency in Roundhay.  ( Pat/Helen - is this OK?  Will there be more footprints etc for people to take next time?)
