Take CPRE's light pollution survey.
The Government has legislated to make light pollution a Statutory Nuisance after much hard campaigning by CPRE and our supporters. This is, potentially, an important new law for fighting the worst types of light pollution. We've raised awareness about light pollution, but we can do more to keep our starry nights.

The spirit of Christmas Lunch future..?
Christmas Lunch Past
- bought from a variety of local shops owned and run by knowledgeable traders, stocking distinctive produce that bolstered the local economy. Little packaging and virtually no waste.
Christmas Lunch 2009
- the same big names in cloned towns and high streets and retail sheds spreading across the country. The model of ‘big and cheap is better’ retail is concentrating our food shopping and money into the usual few chains. Job cutting efficiency combined with excess packaging and needless waste.
Christmas Future?
If we don’t support the shops and markets in our local food web the future could belong to the retail giants. In their relentless expansion they could squeeze out remaining local traders and any real choice of where to shop. We will forget what fresh, seasonal food tastes like.
Farm colouring competition winners announced

Say 'no' to dirty old coal!
Since 2003, the Government has spent 20 times more on extending coal mining than on marine renewables.
