Major environmental march in Derry this weekend

The march will leave the Waterside Train Station at 2pm (assembling for 1.30pm), for a rally at the Guildhall Square at 2.45pm and is open to all.

The organisers said that the event will have campaigns from north and south.

Maeve O’Neill, one of the organisers, said: “Climate chaos demands an unprecedented collective public response, and communities all around the country are already organising and creating solutions to the challenges climate change poses us, such as the local zero waste movement.

“Northern Ireland is the only part of the UK to not have an Independent Environmental Protection Agency, so we, as individuals and communities, must act as the independent environmental protection agents.”
