Chichester 4 Europe x TTC

Chichester 4 Europe invites you to a special Euro-Café event focused on environmental issues. An opportunity to connect with Transition Town Chichester, to exchange ideas and inspire action on environmental issues which transcend borders.

Following an inspirational presentation by a panel chaired by the EM’s new co-vice-president, Caroline Lucas, at the EM Grassroots Conference (see above video), our upcoming Euro Café will be focused on forging connections between Chichester 4 Europe, our local environmental groups, and their counterparts in Chichester’s twinned cities of Chartres, Ravenna, Speyer and Valletta.

Environment knows no borders

For this Euro-Café we will be inviting members of Transition Town Chichester to connect and exchange ideas with us on sustainability and environmental issues and to learn about why our departure from the EU is concerning for environmentalists.

Topics to discuss might include:

  • Will the UK once again become “the dirty man of Europe”?

  • Is the UK falling behind on environmental standards after leaving the EU?

  • Sewage in our rivers, lakes and seas. Is this a Brexit benefit?

  • After seeing the terrible mountains of UK fashion waste, dumped in wetland habitats in Ghana, we can discuss the EU vs fast fashion, and what action we can take.

“The Transition Town Movement began in Totnes, Deven, and has grown into a global network of around 3,000 towns committed to community-led action and resilience, moving away from fossil fuel dependency.”
