Somerset Federation is taking action!

WI – Women and Climate Change Campaign 
Silver teapots and WI cake. Frocks and best hats. What could possibly go wrong?
Somerset Federation of WI’s Public Affairs team organised a Tea in the Sea tea-party to draw attention to Rising Sea Levels on the Somerset coast.
As a member of the Climate Coalition the WI has been campaigning for greater awareness of Climate Change since 2009.
If sea levels continue to rise at the current rate, in the next 20 years many Somerset homes will be uninhabitable due to flooding.
Are you and your family making changes to your lifestyles to help combat global warming?
As the tide came in, as the photos show, the stalwart WI ladies braved the waves still clutching their bone china cups!

On Dunster beach.
Here are some inspiring women - having some fun and making a good point.
