Text A: News report
YOUNG PEOPLE CALL FOR FASTER CLIMATE ACTION By staff reporter Hundreds of young people gathered in central Bristol on Friday to call for stronger action on climate change. Organisers said the peaceful march aimed to draw attention to the effects of rising temperatures and pollution. The crowd carried signs reading “Protect our future” and “Act now, not later”. One young marcher said: “We want decision-makers to listen to the people who will live with the consequences for longest.” The group walked along a planned route before holding a short rally in a nearby square. Police said the event passed without incident. A council spokesperson said the council had set targets to reduce its emissions and was reviewing how quickly it could meet them. Scientists have warned that burning coal, oil and gas adds greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, contributing to global warming. Organisers said they hoped the march would encourage more people to ask local representatives about climate plans.

A LOWER-IMPACT WEEKEND IN THE LAKE DISTRICT A weekend in the Lake District can be memorable without relying on a car for every journey. We took the train to Windermere, then used a local bus to reach the start of a lakeside walk. The views were wonderful, but the best part was knowing that our journey was easier on the environment than driving the whole way. Small choices can make a difference. We refilled our water bottles, carried our rubbish until we found a bin and bought lunch from a local café. A café owner told us that visitors who shop locally help support year-round jobs in the area. Of course, buses do not reach every footpath, and services can be less frequent outside busy periods. Check timetables before setting off, and leave enough time for your return trip. If you are planning a visit, try one car-free journey. It is a practical way to enjoy the scenery while helping to care for the place you have come to see.
