"I tell my friends about not leaving the TV on standby, about recycling, about biking instead of getting lifts and stuff.

And now that my mum has been talking about climate change with the Akashi project, I’m gonna tell her too!"

Educational resources

The Akashi project has contributed to this booklet, which was produced by the East of England Faiths Council in collaboration with the Environment Agency and the Community Recycling Network

‘Believing in our Environment’ – Faith and the Environment in the East of England

One World, Many Voices

Here are six posters which make up our Climate Change: One World, Many Voices Exhibition. They feature the photos and climate change stories of some of the lovely people from community groups that the Akashi project has worked with.

'Climate Change: One World, Many Lives' shows local people's worries about the global impacts of climate change.
	In 'Home Sweet Home', Shahana, Padmaben, Theo and others tell their stories about saving every and water in the home.
'Going Places' explores issues surrounding transport - from cycling to flying.
	In 'Food for thought', we hear delicious food-related stories from Trishna, the Mohila Shomity group and others.
'Trash to Treasure' looks at general consumption and waste - see very real and very diverse examples of 'Reduce, Re-use, Repair, Recycle'.
	'One World, Many Voices' shows teachings and tradition relevant to climate change from just a few of the different cultural and faith views represented in Cambridge.

The stories of the people featured show that:

Climate change is real and relevant to all of us
We all have something to contribute to the debate from our different backgrounds
We can be positive about the challenges and learn from each other

A huge thanks goes to everyone featured and to Paul Margiotta for his work on the design.

Using these posters

We would love these posters to be used by groups raising awareness of climate change and other environmental issues, by all different types of community groups and faith groups, by local authorities, by groups of flatmates who think they make a cheap and colourful display for their living room..... in short, wherever people will read them and be inspired by their stories. Please ensure the Akashi Project website address is prominently displayed so people who see them can contact us if they would like to find out more about the project's work.

These files produce A3 posters. The original exhibition is A1 size - they look fantastic when they are blown up! If you would like to discuss purchasing A1 posters for use by your group or local authority please contact Shilpa on shilpa@cambridgecarbonfootprint.org.

Finally, these posters feature the real stories of real people who have generously agreed to be part of the exhibition. Please do not use the images or stories out of context or in a tokenistic way. If you are in doubt about how you plan to use them or would like some advice on ways they can be effectively used to help engage people in discussing climate change, please email your query to shilpa@cambridgecarbonfootprint.org.
