#iwill4Nature
Scotland's 'IWill Ambassadors have launched an #IWill4Nature climate campaign to tie in with Scotland's Year of Coasts and Waters 2020. The youth social action campaign asks each of Scotland’s 32 Local Authorities to pledge to host a special Environment Committee in 2020 where young people and local politicians can work together on policy to reduce waste and pollution at local level.
Scotland's Year of Coasts and Waters 2020
A 'Get Involved' resource is being created by FSC Scotland, the John Muir Trust and a collaboration of partners to promote and support participation. Stories of how people engage with the themed year will be collated throughout 2020. Info here in December - help share and support! https://www.johnmuirtrust.org/initiatives
