May 2019 and all the posters for the Kildare local council elections were everywhere to be seen.
As our Government had just called a climate and biodiversity emergency (9th May 2019) we decided that we should get involved in our local elections to see who in our locality would be taking action on climate change and who could provide us with the brightest future?
We decided to write to all 15 of the Naas election candidates to see what they would do about climate change and bio-diversity loss if they got elected.
It was very exciting getting the replies and sharing them with the club. Most of the candidates replied, some letters were hand written, some were hand delivered and one of the candidates even sent a large box of chocolates. It was noted that the box was fully recyclable and the chocolates were delicious.
