DWI was launched in 2007 to encourage individual and community action to address Climate Change
and Peak Oil which are two of the greatest threats that mankind faces today. We hope that by
engaging and inspiring individuals to take both personal and political action, we can help to slow the
rate of Climate Change and decrease our dependence on oil. We know solutions exist to enable us to
overcome these problems, but fear that there are too many obstacles in today’s society standing in
the way of addressing these urgent threats. With your help, we can make a change and ensure that
our children and grandchildren inherit a world fit to live in.
We believe that:
Small Actions x Many People = Big Change
What We Have Done: The ages, political manifest and backgrounds of our members are as
diverse as the topics of interest that we tackle. Our first campaign was "Ban the Bag" which aimed to
rid Deal town of plastic bags. With huge local media support, the campaign is estimated to have
contributed to a 65% reduction in bag use and an immeasurable increase in awareness of the
environmental impact of plastic bags.
" ..a friendly and lively exchange on a whole series of subjects which varied from waste recycling and
plastic bags to Heathrow expansion and public transport in Deal "
Continuing with the “political” theme, we are lucky to have Michael Meacher MP visiting Deal on
Friday October 30th. Mr Meacher will be talking at St George’s Church on Renewable Energy,
entrance is free and everyone is welcome. Talks start at 6pm so get there early to secure the best
seats!
