The fifth annual Gary Mahoney Memorial Debate will take place on Thursday 6th June, held in tribute to the exceptional environmental scientist and campaigner Gary Mahoney, who died in late 2014.
The provisional title for this year’s Debate is ‘A Climate of Truth, Lies or Secrecy? – How Climate Change and other environmental concerns are treated by the media.’
It will take place in the Pearce Room at the Britannia Adelphi Hotel, Liverpool on Thursday 6 June at 7.30pm – preceded by informal networking as our monthly Green Drinks Liverpool is held downstairs in the Adelphi’s Wave Bar from 6pm.
We all have the right to travel safely but when it comes to walking or cycling on Merseyside roads you or your child are more likely to be killed or injured than in any other area in the country. In addition to this, traffic, a major cause of air pollution, is killing 725 people per year in the region. It also causes ill health, linked to heart disease, stroke and cancer as well as asthma and other respiratory illness.
On Thursday 25th April (7pm-9pm), we will be launching the Made to Move Merseyside campaign, this will challenge the current political administration to adopt a 15 point plan and truly commit to transform the region for those living within it. The evening will consist of talks with short films giving an overview of how dangerous it is our roads, the impact a poor road environment has and how we can begin to change this.
We need to build our roads around people, communities and the desire to live without fear of harm or poor health. Based upon Manchester’s proposal to create a £1.8 billion infrastructure plan, Made to Move Merseyside presents an alternative to the current policies causing the loss of so many innocent lives.
