Sue's Story

Get Thinking

We now invite you to delve a little deeper and explore how your experiences relate to climate change.

 

The good news is that our community has all the tools and knowledge we need to avert the worst effects of climate change, so all we need now is for everyone to act!

 

Sue’s life-long connection to Bude, and her way of noticing the world around herself, means her story contains many links to important environmental issues. We heard a touching commitment to protecting the ocean from the harm of plastic, and a startling first-hand account of the changes to Bude’s coastline. With so many local projects in Bude looking after our coast and sea, there are plenty of ways to get involved.

Get Inspired

We have put together some tips on what we as individuals and collectively as a community can do to have the greatest positive impact. These changes will not only improve the quality of life for everyone in our area, but also reduce contributions to worsening climate change.

 

Flooding is an important issue for our community, so we have covered it in depth in Simon’s Story. The following tips are what we can do to protect our oceans and coastline.

Get Sharing

Stories trigger more stories,

so we hope this has sparked some of your own memories and

provided an opportunity to reflect.
