About Birmingham Friends of the Earth
Over the last 30 years, Friends of the Earth has made a real difference to our environment in Birmingham. We’ve succeeded in getting better protection for open spaces in the city, and we’ve got legal protection for wildlife nationally. We’ve also pressed the government into raising the minimum legal standards for home insulation and providing grants for it.
Right now we’re in the forefront of pressing for action on climate change, locally, nationally and internationally. We’re fighting for better recycling in Birmingham, and we have made a real difference. We’re leading the calls for better public transport. We’ve worked extensively on the issue of genetically modified food and crops. We’re persuaded retailers to stock sustainable wood, stop importing products which destroy orangutan habitats.
We’re proud of what we do, we rely on the best scientific research and work to influence companies, government and individuals to act to save the environment.
There are over 200 local friends of the earth groups in the UK, and 5000 more in 71 countries across the globe. When we work together we do make a difference. Join us and make a difference too.
