This week Friends of the Earth's Final Demand campaign sent out a loud message by taking the Government to court over its plans to slash solar subsidies.

Their lawyers

think the plans are illegal - because the financial support would be cut before their own consultation has even finished. This would put vital projects to cut climate-changing emissions at risk.

You can help keep up the pressure on Government too by getting your friends and family to sign a paper copy of our Final Demand petition - which over 15,000 of you have signed.

Download a printable version of the Final Demand petition today.

Just collect as many names as possible then send it back to Friends of the Earth- and thanks to everyone who's sent some in already.

Following the success of Switch-Off Fortnight in the past two years, the Pod are delighted to invite teachers from across the UK to register to take part in this year's campaign from 21st November to 4th December.

The original Switch-Off Fortnight was piloted by Worcestershire, Warwickshire and Coventry councils in 2008 and results showed the potential to save up to 20%* in energy costs as a result of taking part.

Since then the Pod has worked with these councils to make Switch-Off Fortnight a national campaign and one that will involve the whole school, parents and the local community. The success of Switch-Off Fortnight is increasing year on year; when it first launched in 2009, more than 2500 schools joined in and last year more than 3700 used Switch-Off Fortnight resources to focus on saving energy in their schools.

This year they've got 4,000 free campaign packs to give away on a first come, first served basis to schools that sign up to take part in Switch-Off Fortnight. Last year the packs ran out very quickly so don't miss out - sign up today!
